Care to enlighten us about this GPGPU (not CPGPU :p) misinformation? ^^ Myself included, I've only seen a small number of posts related to it, with the general contents just because that the PS4 is more geared towards it along with a list of interesting stuff that can be done with it.


Easy, there will be no performace gain from GPGPU that could not be achieved by good programing pratices and streamlining the reding pipeline.

And any way, PS4 and XOne GPUs are almost identical and that is the point where this godlike tecnic is performed even your computer can do that, hell even DirectX 11 uses direct compute.

The extra PS4 juice is already being used and the gap as a metric figure is static, the user perception and final impact will be deminishing game by game.

No one here has claimed that GPGPU will provide a magical performance boost, it's stuff like collision and physics that make GPGPU interest ^^ Both the X1 and PS4 are capable of utilizing GPGPU related features (heck, even the WiiU can), the PS4's stronger GPU just makes it better built for that particular job.
