| JEMC said: It's hard to compare CPUs having only " > " to judge its performance, and it's even harder with the PS4/X1 having custom chips that aren't available anywhere else. As a reference, this is a comparison of the FX-8350 and the Athlon 5150, which is a quad-core based Jaguar CPU clocked at 1.6GHz (like the PS4): Of course, the processors of PS4/X1 have eight cores (although they can only use 6 or 7), so their actual performance is higher than that, but by how much? I don't know. As for what processor can be power the NX... who knows? It could be a similar custom chip but with 8 Puma (the successor of Jaguar) cores clocked slightly higher. |
The '>>>' is there to just denote how much of a difference there is between them, don't take it literally. He wont give out specs or hard numbers, it's basically just a point of refererence so people know where the NX CPU is in all this.
If anything you can just ignore all that and just focus on the 'noticeably better' part and worse than high spec PCs and mid-high range PCs.
