If it looks that good using only 3GB... wow.

I wonder if the PS4 has 2 cores locked for OS and background tasks. They used one SPE in the PS3 but the PS4 is doing a lot more demanding stuff in the background. |
A lot of that demanding stuff is actually being done by a separate CPU (The video processor). A single jaguar core will do more than an SPU, unless it's calculations, so one should be more than enough (Though I'm talking out of my ass here).

"No low-level CPU optimizations"
And most likely no game will in NextGen. Almost nobody nowadays uses low-level x86-code anymore because compilers are especially good. Intrinsics are ok, sure, and I think that the guys from NaughtyDog / ICE have done a good job.
@Ethomaz: PC eight-core games will be beneficied from that too.
Why? I don't see how this will also affect PC because the api is built by ND and is used by an internal team working for Sony.

You reckon it will?
Take a look at any Multi-Platform game, the Xbox had 6 available threads, so did the PS3. Yet the majority of console ports were only Dual-Threaded. - Leaving me with 10 threads idle more often than not.
The PS4 and Xbox 720(Maybe) will only have 2 extra threads over the current generation consoles... - I'm just hoping that developers don't take the lazy way out and only throw everything onto a couple of threads for the PC version of the game like they did this generation.
Few exceptions to that rule though like Battlefield 3, but that was built for PC and downscaled for the consoles.
In all honesty, I share Anandtech's sentiments where I wish console manufacturers would take CPU performance a little more seriously, I can understand why they don't though, cost being a major one.

I haven't actually. Waiting for a Steam sale to send me broke and pick it up then. :P

Where do you have the info from with the 6 threads?
And yes, given that devs now can share even more code with consoles and PC, I think in the end PC-games will also be more threaded. But the reason is not Killzone or GG because they don't develop PC-games. It's up to the devs of frostbite and other multiplatfom-engines to do so. Also keep in mind that 2 threads of a Core i7 could easily outperform the 8-thread-jaguar ;) But either way: Even if you use 100 threads this does not mean that they are getting used properly. If you hope for better AI I think you will be disappointed mostly.

I'd just use it personally, the performance hit is much lower overall and the quality is quiet good these days.
Pemalite said: You can tell they are getting GPU limited with the demo, due to the fact it's only 30fps and the AA method used. (However, it's still early days, but that's their framerate target anyway.) Then, to make 30fps feel smoother, they added blurring techniques and this Demo has a bit of blurring on the objects and characters, not very pronounced in the video, but it is there. If you look back at the Xbox 360 and PS3 launches, most games were in a similar situation, most running at 1080P initially, but when you start adding more effects and geometry, sacrifices had to be made and one of those eventually became the resolution after a few years into the consoles life, overall graphics did look better though, so it was a sacrifice that was well worth it from an overall perspective. Man, I wish it would come to PC though, so we can dial-up the graphics, framerate and resolution more, with that said, I'm actually looking forward to getting my hands on a PS4, new uncharted trilogy perhaps? |
Current gen games were never running at 1080p. Not even Resistance: Fall of Men.
