FULL Article - http://www.redgamingtech.com/ps4-and-xbox-720-an-evolution-in-computing-power/ http://www.facebook.com/redgamingtech - Follow us on Facebook! The Playstation 4 and Xbox 720 aren't released yet - but in the PS4's case at least, we certainly know a lot about its specs. It's likely readers are aware of them by now, AMD Jaguar APU which features 8 cores (that's 4 clusters x 2) that are a x86 / 64 bit hybrid. This is combined with 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, with 18 Radeon 7000 series GCN cores (running at 800MHZ) to provide the graphical grunt that we expect from the system. But there are certain questions that raises doesn't it? For example - if we compare the PS3 to PS4 jump in specs, is it a big of a jump as say the PS2 to the Playstation 3? And what does this even mean - what can this extra power 'buy us' in terms of games? Right now we're at a point where the Tegra 4 on mobile processors are putting out 80GLOPS of power. In a recent comment Tony Tamasi of Nviida said ""The PS3 and Xbox 360 are barely more powerful than mobile devices... The next click of mobile phones will outperform [them]". Indeed in Tegra's 5 release it will likely see similar power to the PS3 and Xbox 360, their respective hardware is now long in the tooth. Royalty Free Music - www.audiomicro.com/royalty-free-music
