Great article, but multi threading difficulties are no news. Time for devs to start optimizingg (Remember johnattan blow)

This is the first I've heard of devs have difficulties with PS4's clock speed, so unless I missed something, it's news in that sense.

It was foreseeable though, given the issues Wii U had with the same problem, and the lower clock speeds of PS4/Xbone compared to PS3/360.

It is compared to a high end PC, not ps360. ps3 had a 550mhz clocked GPU, ps4 is clocked at +-853mhz

PS4's CPU runs at around 1.6Ghz, just half of the PS3 and 360's 3.2GHz CPUs.

They are talking about rendering and high end PC. I never heard about 3D rendering on CPU or devs optimizing the game on PC for single core 3GHZ CPU.
