does xbox one Improved CPU/GPU specs make it better than ps4

does xbox one improved specs tip the balance in its favor and makes it a more powerful system than the ps4?

No, as far as power is concerned, PS4 still has a minor advantage.

specs don't make anything better than anything.

games are what makes some consoles better than other consoles.

No!The xbox one is still weaker than the ps4, but that does not really matter.

Developers, developers, developers.

this gen both systems were equal but based on sales xbox 360 had better exclusives

 while ps3 had more choices of exlusive content it did not sell as good as xbox360 exclusive content

will this remain next gen?

nice try next questionlegalize82

No.

its only a 12% jump.

No, just something microsoft use to push some more sales...

Microsoft should clock it up to 2.75ghz and slap a watercooler on it.

Then, I'd be impressed.

The PS4 has a 1.84 TFLOP rating out of the box without any overclocking.

The XB1 had a 1.23 TFLOP rating out of the box before they decided to increase the GPU and CPU clocks.

The XB1 is probably up to 1.33? 1.34? now, with all the boosting. But, the GPU does more work than a CPU on a gaming console, so boosting the CPU might just increase stuff like response time when switching Cable TV channels or Kinect Swipe Gestures on the XB1.

You won't see a noticably higher framerate in any games with just a 0.15ghz CPU boost. It's the GPU they need to boost to get noticably better gaming performance.

The ps4 is more powerful but let the game for each system do the talking.

Can I ask why this means anything anymore? Both systems will be huge upgrades over their predecessors and both will have stunning games for all of us to play. Why are we still going back and forth on console power? It will fully be in the hands of the developers and how far they can or want to push a particular console!ShoTTyMcNaDeS

Overclocking does not make the hardware better. It just means that Microsoft got desperate. And even with the upclock, Sony's GPU is still superior, soooooo.....Yeah. It's a lesson in futility--especially since Microsoft has only increased the likelihood of an overheat; RROD revisited.

It helps, but developers have said they will be very close. Of course once the games comes, we will see for ourselves.

as of now 43 people have no idea what they are talking about. 3 kinda have an idea. and myself and 6 others actually understannd. it is lonely being in a place where your smarter then almost everyone. Thsi poll right here shows why people are so dumb. that not only do they have 0 idea what they are talking about, but they also are willing to argue their stupidity and even vote for their wrong answer.

PS4 is still stronger but it isn't anything major. The games is what will matter.

you are trying way to hard to boost your low self esteem over the internet. 

They just upped the clocks so no.

PS4 still has the faster RAM and better GPU with async. compute support.

Spec-wise PS4 is still more "powerful," not accounting for:

• Having to handle its own audio
• Having to handle the eye toy (if used)
• Havng to do all calculations locally, no cloud advantage out of the box (physics, AI).

Bandwidth wise they are largely the same, TOTAL power wise they are the same, developers agree.

Developers > You.

PS4 and X1 are the same power.

Nope, but not as far as it was earlier.

I've been telling people this all day. It's amazing how many people seem to think these slight upclocks are something significant. MS might have picked up a few sales by fooling the technically illiterate.

Not even close.

How much more powerful?

AY: It depends what youre doing. GPU, like 40 per cent more powerful. DDR5 is basically 50 per cent more powerful than DDR3, but the memory write [performance] is bigger on Xbox One so it depends on what youre doing.

How is that going to translate to on-screen results for the kinds of games you want to make? So to optimise War Thunder on both consoles you could hypothetically make a better, prettier version on PS4?

AY: Yep.

KY: Probably yes. But again, thats not a very big deal.

ooh man I really got under Ron "The Robot's" skin. Do I get an achievement for that?

its funny ms keep on eating their own words this past few months..they talk about how they made the xbone not powerful and that  it doesnt matter..and now they trying to improved their specs on production day..lmao..xbone  is a rushed console and will have many issues with it..

Its a 10% CPU advantage over the rumored PS4 clocks.  The fact its "just a 0.15Ghz CPU boost" is irrelevant, the Xbox 1 per thread performance is a solid 10% higher.  

It certainly doesnt make it better than PS4, but its a real advantage over the PS4 nontheless.
