First of all, I'm not sure if a thread has been made about this yet, and if so, I'm sorry. I was just hoping people could share their thoughts about what the they think the Steam machine will bring to the table in the video game biz. Also, I'm assuming performance-wise, it will out-perform the X1/PS4, but by how much? I see that there are models that come with i3, i5, and i7 processors, but how much difference will that make when it comes to playing games on it? Is it worth the extra $200-some to get the i7? Could people who know about this fill me in? I am very intrigued by the prospect of a Steam machine and would really appreciate some details. |
The 449$ model, from Alienware,
has a Intel Core i3 - 4130T Dual Core (2.9ghz) , 4 GB of DDR3, and 2GB GDDR5 on the Nvidia 860m.
I honestly think the PS4 has the performance advantage.
Meaning if you ran the same game, on both systems, with the same graphics settings, the game would run better on the PS4.
