Forbes is really making some clickbait stuff. They should hire better gaming writers... lol

Haha I didn't read it because I've stopped reading forbes.  They really are the bottom of the barrel most of them.

I laughed at this sentence Yeah - when i read that earlier today i laughed too. The PS4 has always been more powerful than the XB1. The only thing the xb1 has over the ps4 is an ~ 8-10% higher clock speed on the CPU. Even then, clock speeds do not necessarily equate to 100% to power.

Not according to Forbes

This isn’t going to be some magic bullet for the Xbox One where suddenly they’ll come out with an ad campaign extolling their system as “more powerful than the PS4,” but if they can continue in the Unity tradition of running smoother than their competition, that’s certainly going to be a point in their favor.

Didn't you know XBox One games have been running smoother since end 2014!

Well PS4 has modifications to bypass GPU cache and pass CPU commands direcly through the additonal bus, for any GPU Compute, which AMD added to the system's SOC. The amount of Cache in the GPU is allocated correctly based on AMD's design and I'm sure they added what is needed to make the most of the GPU in cache dependant portions of a workload.

How much of a system's performance is used depends entirely on optimization of your code design and that's something that only comes through iteration of it.

The CPU always had the same amount of Cache, unified for all 8 Cores, whether it's used for gaming or OS is immaterial, it's constant regardless of the job type.

In CPU dependent workloads it means that developers have an extra core, so they're less bottlenecked on those tasks, it's about 16.6% more performance in that area, the amount of cache available doesn't change just because this extra core has been made available to games.

Is your pic of the SSM game that we lost?

Great rundown of what it means when they say "Unlocked a core", you seem fairly familiar with VLSI... 

Forbes.. Every time I see an article is coming from Forbes I refuse to open the link. I've got enough of their bollocks. They are not even biased, they are total crap.

A few months ago they seemed to have higher standards, maybe they were not getting the traffic!? It has really taken a nosedive recently anyway.

In general there are very few people doing quality written work now, Colin Moriarty was one of the last people doing good work I considered worthy of being called journalism. Now, of course he is all video with the Kinda Funny crew. I normally just go to NeoGaf or skim the google news now as the reporting is so bad.

Reviews are a joke too.

Yeah, if I had your self-control...... 

I simply can't resist to see what nonsense they are gonna peddle next. Human nature.

So many fails, who pissed in this guys cereal?

I wonder if the editor was half-asleep when he or she gave the okay on that.....
