53mhz still doesn't put it at the GPU level of the PS4. Still a nice increase though.

I don't think we will see the same pattern with Multiplats next-gen as we did last gen. Reason is that the new consoles are using the exact same architecture. So developers don't need to figure out too much, the only thing they have to fiddle around with is that esRAM on Xbox. But other than that, they can upgrade the graphics on stronger hardware pretty easy. So I think multiplats on PS4 will have some better effects or some more fps. Maybe we will see some games in 1080p on PS4 and in 720p on Xbox. We'll have to wait and see. But I don't think developers just let the power of the PS4 unused. On the PS3, they had trouble with both the cell and rubbish development tools. Won't happen this time around.

Unless its really easy or Sony pays them to do it I don't see developers using the full potential of the PS4 for multiplats, they will probably just use the least amount of resources possible, especially with making games for next gen being so risky, if they don't sell a certain million amount of copies then the game is considered a failure. 

Still a boost all the same. Don't underestimate the difference gaining 5 fps can make. That's huge if you're attempting to maintain a solid 30 or 60 FPS.  Secondly it states the drivers were better optimized which can result in a HUGE performance boost without changing any hardware.

No no no lol.

Microsoft calculated 800 mhz for the gpu based off simulations and such. Upon getting actual final hardware to test, they've determined the real world is ever so slightly different then their expectations. Hence 853 mhz now.

It's like calculating how many jelly beans fit in a jar based off volume. The numbers predict 800. Well upon pouring in 800 the jar still has some room, so they fit in 53 more jelly beans. This is not the same as filling a jar full of jelly beans and then deciding to shove more in that shouldn't fit.

That is some extreme upgrade, let's hope the pixel counter doesn't shatter!

I'm guessing you are being a bit sarcastic here but 53mhz is actually a far bit extra to play around with when it comes to in game things. Could mean the difference between having to cut out smoke from tires screeching up in forza or extra particle effects on fireballs etc in KI. It's a great thing as long as like I said doesn't run the risk of extra particles of fire inside the actual machine.

Well... from overclocking videocards on PC I can say that at least for them, a number like that is not all that much beneficial. Since the X1 a PC in most regards, I doubt it's gonna change much.

The biggest problem for PS4 right now has nothing to do with similarities in graphics between the two and multiplatform. The biggest problem is that Microsoft is embracing the cloud as a main feature while Sony is not. A lot of multiplatform games will take advantage of the cloud, if not early on later on. This will be the difference between the two, as the cloud will give the X1 advantages for people who play online. Im betting Sony will embrace the cloud by the end of the generation.

As for specs, developers has been saying for months and months they are similar and see no differences.  This whole one is more powerful than the other is just fanwars.

The cloud Microsoft has advertized nothing but a pr buzzword. The real world cloud that games will use is much less impressive. Plus, the PS4 can use it too.

Unless you are talking about things from the perspective of the general public, you are dead wrong.
