so is the PS4 a low end pc or not

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

They forgot to say that despite GDDR5 speed, it has high latency. There's a reason you use DDR3 as main RAM on PC, and that's because of the low latency. I'm not sure how it'll impact CPU performance on PS4, but as N64 with it's RAMBUS RAM told us, latency issues are a big problem in a console environment, even more than raw speed.
