Xbox One uses Bonaire entry-level GPU, PS4 uses Pitcairn midrange GPU

First, the person comparing the GTX 680 to a GTX 670 and coming to the conclusion that the PS4 and Xbox One would have a similar disparity in performance because of the difference in teraflops is wrong. The GTX 680 and GTX 670 are based off of the same GK104 chip so everything on these chips are exactly the same except the core clock and the texture units/stream processors. The PS4's GPU on the other hand is based of off "Pitcairn" which is the chip used in HD 7850/7870s while the Xbox One's GPU is based off of "Bonaire" which is a chip used in the HD 7790s. So what does that mean in layman's terms? The chip used as a reference for the Xbox One's GPU is a mainstream part while the chip used in the PS4 is part of the enthusiast class GPUs.

To get a better understanding of the disparity in power here, take a look at Anandtech's fantastic benchmark suite: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/776?vs=857

If you take a look at those benchmarks, it looks like the PS4 GPU is significantly more powerful. The comparable GPUs found in PCs show a 10-15 FPS lead over the other. And it makes sense. The PS4 has twice the fillrate power and 50% more raw shading performance. Should be a no brainer.

you shut your mouth

teh cloud will destroy your ps4 .......when it done loading:P

yes we know it, lets wait for the consoles to be out ,to see the differences in exclusives and multiplatform titles and reach a verdict,most know ps4 will be the most powerfull console but some believe in the cloud mambojumbo. 4-5 months wait

:lol: lems are paying $100 more for outdated underpowered shit hardware 

Oh shit LEMMINGS GOT DESTROYED

but i know the console version will be a bunch of little squeaker kids running around online in mechs, cursing and threatning...

I thought it was a confirmed timed exclusive? 

TorqueHappens08

I haven't seen or heard of any confirmation from the developer.

All that was said was, "it's definitely not out of the question." It's a possibility.

I seriously will never understand why people talk about launch games. They all suck compared to later games. Wait a year to buy a system, it's the smartest thing to do.

damn, dont make me feel bad i pre ordered the x1 lol.  we'll see man, the x1 games so far look more interesting than ps4.  d4, dead rising 3, quantum break, titanfall...they have a strong lineup.

and tons of other 1st/2nd party studios that still didn't show what they have

you made a mistake dude

never judge a system by launch titles

Actually no sci-fi, I would like them to make a game of thrones style game.

i still gonna buy xbox one i don't care about specs i only care about games,kinect and tv box on xbox one

in terms of launch games they are pretty equal, aside the fact that titanfall their biggest game i will be playing it on pc, but launch games never mean much, just look the 360 had some decent games at their beginning but was abandoned soon with a bunch of multiplats that you could get on the other system, kinect games and bad sequels, while ps3 kept pumping high scoring exclusives and gotys. Just look at this year, last of us, ni no kuni and tales of xillia, and what does the 360 have? gears of war xxvii dudebro bad sequel edition.

havent played tlou yet and im not too into jrpg's unless its a good final fantasy game like 7, 8, 9, 10, 12.  I had ALOT of fun this gen with alan wake and left 4 dead and gears of war and halo and all those 360 exclusives.  plus I played alot of the xbox original games that i missed on my 360 and it made me realize how strong the xbox original library was.  

weird i could swear i played alan wake left 4 dead halo and gears of war, and not on 360 hmmm. awesome "exclusives"

why would you spend the last 25% rendering a drop shadow lol

BS comparison. The article didn't even get into specifics. Sure, the 7790 is weaker than the 7850, but for many other reasons than just the 'type' of GPU. 'Bonaire' and 'Pitcairn' are just codenames for GPUs of different architecture. And just because one particular architecture is used on the weaker card, it doesn't immediately imply that the architecture is inferior in any way. A card can be weaker due to lower transistor count, lower clock speeds, lower memory bandwidth etc etc., none of which have anything to do with architecture.

Also, don't forget that the 7790 came out AFTER the 7850. Very often, the one to be released later has a more advanced architecture, an improved one of the pioneering card. The only reason the card is weaker is a marketing one. You always release the powerful cards first, the mid range ones later for the bottom feeders.

PinkiePirate

They aren't... an enthusiast product would be the 7970 (Ghz) card. Compare the specs in the OP with this, and there you go. PS4's GPU is slightly stronger than the 7850 on the PC, which is a mid-range card in every sense of the word.
