The PC in his article is not even close to as good as a PS4.


Actually, it's pretty much a match for the PS4. Not really sure why he's using a Intel CPU and Mobo, though, I'm quite sure an AMD solution would make price even lower.

His build has ddr3 ram when the pS4 has GDDR5 and ram is used in HSA 2.0 for both CPU and GPU.  It has no gamepad, no operating system, no blu ray drive (or any drive) and is way larger.  And to say the celeron 1610 processor is comparable to the PS4 processing power is totally false.  It may be true right now, but in 2 years minimum when new games are using considerably more power (i.e. more than 2 simultaneous threads) the 2 core Celeron won't even remotely compete with the 8 core Jaguar.  Also, I am 90% sure that video card won't even fit into the case he chose?  I also don't think 400w is enough power for his choices, and it can't play Sony exclusives. His PC build being on par with a PS4 is completely theoretical.


RAM type is irrelevant when the GPU has dedicated GDDR5 memory. Agreed about the rest, even though the PC actually is just as powerful as a PS4 theoretically as you said(those two Celeron cores have enough single-threaded performance to outdo the 6 usable Jaguar cores on PS4/XOne), it won't run the same games thanks to these low-power CPUs being so weak that no PC game is going to be playable on those in a few months, even if the games are on PS4 thanks to optimization.

Pretty much everything your saying is wrong.  I don't have time to correct everything but I will say that the PS4's cpu is easily as strong as an i3, and modern games already use 8 cores or more.  Dual-threaded cpu's became obsolete in anything but mega low end gaming about 4 years ago, and whithin another 2 years the same will be true about quad-threaded cpu's (Besides the k-series i5's running above 4GHz.
