Sony PS4 vs XBox ONE
Talking about the two upcoming gaming consoles in the market, one is Sony PS4 & the other is Microsoft Xbox ONE.
The Xbox One and PS4 have very similar hardware specs, except for two key areas: The GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) and the memory architecture - not the amount of memory, but the way in which games access that memory.
At launch, the different memory architectures probably won’t be significant — but after three or four generations, as developers master the eighth-generation console hardware, one of the consoles might come out ahead.
While talking about the GPU, it is clear that the GPU of PS3 has 50% higher peak performance as compared to the GPU of Xbox ONE.
Now, these being consoles, we can't guess their exact hardware specifications, but we have a rough idea. Both the Xbox One and PS4 have an eight-core AMD Jaguar-based CPU at 1.6GHz, with 8GB of RAM. While the Xbox One’s GPU is comparable to the Radeon HD 7790, the PS4 GPU is more like the HD 7870 — which has 50% more compute units, and thus 50% higher peak teraflops.
Both these consoles are expected to launch before Christmas . Some say that the Xbox One is going to launch somewhere around November just ahead of the PS4 which is apparently due on the 13th of December.
Let us hope for the best & see who comes out as the winner.
