You need to remove 10% you for Kinect but keep that damage control coming. And 1 core for shape lol again shape is mostly there for Kinect. |
No there is nothing for Kinect. Rumors say MS reserves ~10% of the GPU for OS use, however contrary to believe all systems including gasp, the PS4, 360, and PS3, reserve some amount of GPU for this. It is needed to pop up say "Trophy unlocked", or a message from a friend.
MS also said to Digital Foundry they are working on reducing the 10%. Regardless, without knowing how much the Ps4 reserves, it's pointless to speculate about this or even declare one side has the advantage.
It reminds me how it was claimed as fact PS4 reserved only 1Gb of RAm for OS, until we found out it's actually 3GB, same as X1 (which some people naturally still deny that fact)

There is no rumour this was from the cheif engineer of the console. You even quote the article yourself.
And yes im sure they will get that 10% down, just like im sure Sony will get there OS footprint down as well, they did on PS3 and on PSP.
But you cant label an article TRUE comparison, claim reduction in PS4 specs for beleiving it has no audio processor when it does and not mention known facts about X1 spec reduction, its just disingenous.
But everyone knows the spec differences anyway, they are what they are so im not gonna get into any more debates about them, as im sure there will be many "but but but X1 is as fast honest" threads to come.
MS only fans start talking about the games stop trying to massage the tech specs we all know the differnce now.

I already explained this to you. X1 10% is NOT for Kinect, or anything intrinsic to the system.
360 had GPU reserved (~10% from what I heard) and it did not have Kinect at the beginning, or snap, or anything people use to justify 10% on X1. These are red herrings to try to claim somehow "only" X1 needs GPU reserves.
ALL SYSTEMS RESERVE GPU FOR THE OS. INCLUDING PS4.
BTW PS4 has a camera system too, the PS Eye. When you plug one up, dont you think it takes GPU if Kinect supposedly does? Otherwise does your game slow down when you plug PSeye in?
If you get a "Trophy Unlocked" message in PS4 do you think it happens by magic? No, the GPU draws it out of the reserve! Same as on X1.
Without knowing how much PS4 reserves it's pointless to speculate or give one console the edge. IN FACT, given Sony's history (where for example PS3 reserved more RAM for OS than X360), it very well may be MORE GPU reserves on PS4!

This is suppose to be a TRUE comparison, and your assuming far too much, to make it biased.
You assume PS4 CPU speed, you assume PS4 reserves, you assume PS4 audio processing.
Are you also assuming HDD information, as im genuinly interested in that, as im toying with the idea of just gettign a 1TB drive to put in the PS4 day one, but wouldnt want to put a slower one in.
