@McGregor It's AMD, their manufacturing process still hasn't approached Intel's standards, mostly because AMD outsources their manufacturing and Intel doesn't. Because of that, across the board, nearly every Intel chip has outperformed its equivalent AMD competitor. Based on history there is no reason to expect anything different here.
Of course it's probably more powerful than a dual core, but if you are going to compare processors, you would compare it to one of the 8 core, or at least 4 core with hyperthreading, Intel processors.
@xgalacticax Except they didn't really show any games or tech demos to speak of, they just showed a bunch of other crap about how you can watch TV with it and do the same stuff you already do with your tablet, phone, laptop, etc. while watching TV.
"Xbox One, because your living room wasn't redundant enough"
@Zevvion So again, no "always online" requirement, but to use any of the console's features (i.e. "selling points") it has to always be online. The difference is just semantics when they are marketing this as a "cloud based always online device" that can't really do anything it was designed to do without an internet connection.
@MoronGotMyName If true, that is the most retarded thing I have heard in a very long time. I was really hoping Xbox would be a competitive choice vs. PS4 for me this time around, the way things are looking right now, there is no competition at all.
No always online requirement, but for the console to do any of the things they showed off or talked about today, it has to be connected to the internet... wait, what?
