However what you are point is a very small issue with a very-very small impact in the overall system performance. Since 2008 I have been hearing of how Apple, Google and Microsoft are keen to jump into the SOCs solutions. MS decision to make a gargantuam dice is a well thought out movement. It could be a disaster the size o W-Vista, but we can´t know beforhand . It could mean that Microsoft want to use its knowhow and use the same approach with the next Surface or a Windows Phone. The same way Apple are tring to depart from Samsung and others in their chips. PS:You are overlooking all other layers that will hidde the intrinsic complexity (OS, drives and APIs). Even though those layers are as much complex as the SOCs . |
I agree but am I overlooking what? I just said the guy assumptions was wrong... the clock can be right but it is not based in what he tried to explain... after that I even said that I don't know if the MS solution have better performance or not... I didn't even talked about performance at all... I didn't say there are any issue with MS approach too.
Sony and MS choose differents memory systems... which is better? I don't know... the only think I can say is that the Sony choose is more simple.
About OS, drivers and API I think MS will be always ahead Sony... MS is a software company... Sony a hardware one... it is evidenced in every part: PS4 small with no power brink and PS3 with less failure rate vs Xbone big with power brink and 360 with high failure rate... PS4 OS and XMB vs Windows 8 One Edition and Win 360 OS.
I'm pretty sure the software layer will be better on MS front.
