It's weak just like the other consoles of the gen. Even if you want to compare only current gen consoles and leave out expectations, its CPU is weak.
| SlayerRondo said: The PS4 is only a bottleneck on games that are heavily reliant on the CPU like Assassin's Creed Unity. Assassins Creed Unity was a very unbalanced when it came to choices regarding graphical fidelity. The massive number of people possible on screen added little other than to bother players in my opinion. |
Ubisoft wrote that they tried to use less people but the FPS remained low. That game is a mess.
And Sony told that the CPU bottleneck can be overcome using the GPGPU capabilities of the GPU. If it doesnt hurt graphics that would be great, I guess we´ll find out down the road.

this 1.6ghz cpu will proabably be a horrible bottleneck later. only way is to let ur gpu calculate things. but if u do that, u cant that gpu ressources for other stuff. but this is all known alreday. consoles are weak especially this new gen. if u dont mind to have the best grafphics and games, its fine ofc
at least they were way more powerful compared to the high end pcs of the same time |
Why not? Because it is a game with severe technical issues. It isn't pushing the tech, it is struggling to simply work.
CPU and GPU calculations aren't exactly complimentary. Recursive operations and operations that arent' massively parellal are CPU's job. But things that are massively parallel must be done on the GPU. A low end GPU can crush the most powerful CPU in operations that are adequate. Put an i7 there and the GPU would still be a better deal for physics and simulation.
Consoles aren't weak. And PS360 weren't that bleeding edge. Just after their launch, we still had PC GPUs outperforming them by 2X easily. Console's advantage always was having a close to the metal API and a standardized hardware to allow real optimization.
| Puppyroach said: Wasn´t the PS3 and 360 way more balanced for their time and actually really good consoles compared to computers then? |
Maybe the 360 but not the PS3. The PS3's CPU matches the PS4/X1 in performance (edges out the PS4's, actually). PS3's CPU was grossly overpowered for it's time.
4 ≈ One

Im honestly at the point where I don't believe a word Ubisoft says anymore.
This is the Game of Thrones
Where you either win
or you DIE
If people weren't so cheap we wouldn't need a balanced console, we'd get an actual great console.
As if 100 or 200 more bucks would matter on a product that will entertain you for at least 5 years.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
I have to agree. No component seems to exceed or lack to attain their proposition, although some overclock on cpu could make it even more balanced.
ps4 rocks because of the rocket engine they use to cool the system is trying to take off.
