Why are you even comparing PC with consoles? You can compare console with console but not with pc.
Whenever you mention consoles on the Internet it brings out everyone who wants to measure & compare their rigs.

Well, like Tatu always used to say to Mr. Roarke's guests, "welcome to fantasy island"......To be fair, that's an incredibly expensive computer you just specced.
So who is comparing a $2000.00 computer to a Play Station? I think it was a new member at the 1st or 2nd post. We've moved on, so should you.I'd like to ask why are you comparing what would be a $2,000+ gaming PC to the PS4 which speculation says might be in the $300-$500 range?
Have you ever used an AMD APU? They are not crap nor are they underpowered. They meet a price point and market segment by fusing a decent GPU with a decent CPU.
AMD haters never cease to amaze me. Synthetic benchmarks are not the end-all be-all of comparisons between architectures.
"Cerny also touched on the system?s unified architecture with 8GB of GDDR5, suggesting that it could help the PS4 trump a gaming PC in hertz-for-hertz performance. He said it was something that developers wanted so they delivered. As he explained, a PC with 8GB of GPU memory would only be able to share about 1 percent of that memory on any given frame. It all comes down a limitation of the speed of PCIe, he noted.
The GPU and CPU in the PS4 are on a single, custom chip created by AMD that is similar to an AMD APU. The memory isn?t on the same chip but a 256-bit bus lets it access RAM at 176GB/s, eliminating any sort of bottlenecks. He said the strategy was simply to use GDDR5 memory and make sure it had plenty of bandwidth."
One great big fart!! What **** is this guy talking?
A:Unified memory = on board graphics in my eyes = saving money
B:Gaming PC's now have PCI-E3.0 graphics cards with 384 Bit-memory bus.
CC's have more GPU power and better CPU's, APU's suck *** especially AMD APU's
D:Sony went x86 to save money no other reason
I'd like to see the PS4 try and outperform a Haswell CPU and 2x GTX960 graphics card combo or titan sli with 16GB DDR3 1866MHz memory...competes with a gaming PC my bum!
GTX690 sorry
You must not be comparing, while games are being played at the same resolutions. If I paid 4-5 times that of a PS4, I'd expect a few extra FPS while playing at least twice the pixel count.since the PC-rig would costs 4-5 times the money, and comes only with a few additional FPS.
Sure you logic wonder, of course the PS4 cant compete with this... but thats nothing you could actually compare, since the PC-rig would costs 4-5 times the money, and comes only with a few additional FPS. Also 16 GB Ram is buII$hit, you dont need that unless you render CGI gfx, or play 4 games simultaneous.
