Its true I posted links to the spec sheets. Microsoft needing 3gigs of RAM for their OS is understandable. They are running quite a bit of background capabilities with it. The PS4 will be doing some of the same but 1gig for the OS seems to me cutting it tight even if it is DDR5. They would have been better off with using 2gigs I would think.
Here are some technical details:
The Xbox One has an 8-core AMD CPU with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet. The latest leaks suggest that the Xbox One will have an 8-core 64-bit x86 Jaguar AMD CPU @ 1.6GHz, coupled with a GPU that’s very close to the Radeon HD 7790. The Xbox One will have 68GB/sec of bandwidth between the CPU/GPU and RAM, the GPU will have 102GB/s of bandwidth to a local 32MB SRAM cache, and another 30GB/s of bandwidth to gamepads, Kinect, and other peripherals.
The PS4 has an 8-core Jaguar AMD CPU, with a GPU similar to the Radeon 7870. The PS4 has 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, providing 176GB/s of bandwidth to both the CPU and GPU.
The Xbox One mostly makes up this difference with 32MB of high-speed SRAM on the GPU, but it will be a little more difficult to develop for.
As I mentioned before comparing these things do not really mean that much to me personally. Developers are not going to spend the extra resources to make a game that much better on another platform. If it is PS4 only game yes it may have a little better graphics i.e snow/rain falling than the Xbox One.
Both systems are very similar and like I said before just skin the cat in a different way. Microsoft was ready to take us to the next level and it was not accepted obviously. We now have to wait and see what they can do with the cloud like Fortune mentioned. Like I said before people are going to get what they asked for.
@ Fortune
It is very easy to cause a snowball effect with the media and peoples reactions. I took Microsoft's answers exactly how it should have been taken. If you do not have internet get an Xbox 360. What else do you want them to say? Did they say it in a Care Bear cute cuddly way? No. The people that were in those positions should be punished.
My comment about the public's stupidity was meant to be a little offensive. I was stupid too until I started to research which was my point. Im sorry if I hurt your feelings. I wasnt going to jump on the hate wagon until I knew details, and guess what? They were pretty far off from the truth. So ya thats stupid to me that people can just go on what they hear without any proof.
Im honestly ticked off that Microsoft changed directions. I was ready for the next revolution in gaming, not just a game that looks more realistic on my TV. I hope they can still use the cloud power how it was anticipated. It sure would have been nice to share my games with friends and family as well without the worry of them ruining my disc or losing it.
