| Intrinsic said: I am not sure, but I think what he is referring to is that consoles are more efficent. In other words. I console can do more with 1TF of power than a PC. Simply cause the console has less overall overhead to worry about and that whole closer to the metal crap. Kinda how mantle improves the performace of specific hardware. Its no like that hardware suddenly gave birth to some more transitors. Matle just makes the PC more efficient at utilizing the power it has. So in a twisted laymans sense of it, he is actually right. |
Consoles also do less at any one time.
1 Teraflop of power on a console is exactly the same as 1 Teraflop of power on a PC, anyone who deals with a ton of compute understands that.
Using "Flops" is a pathetic use of measurement to gauge performance anyway.
I have over 20 Teraflops of "Power" in my PC, which outside of floating point operations, means literally nothing.
| the-pi-guy said: Hmmm, I've read a few posts from the developers of Xbox emulators who say very very very different. How come we don't have windows games on linux? |
You do have Windows Games on Linux.
WINE allows you to run windows games, you can also virtualise Windows to run games in Linux.
And then there are games with specific releases just for Linux.
| ICStats said: Also certainly there were no GPUs with 8GB of addressable GDDR5, or DirectX 11+ capabilities that far ago. |
I still don't have "8Gb" of total addressable GDDR5 in my PC for games. - Only 4Gb. (16Gb total for compute or non-combined tasks.)
Yet, I still have over 10x the GPU performance of the PS4.
Remember, Ram doesn't actually do any processing, it cannot accellerate anything or make anything "run faster". - It's there so that in essence things don't slow-down due to data not being able to be accessed fast enough.
