The two are very similar, i think the real thing to determine the winner is the OS

Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800

8 cores in a console isn't really that surprising when you consider you can get 8 cores in a phone!

 

I understand. What i meant was, that back in the day, the console arms race was between which manufacturer had more bits. Whether it made a difference in terms of who had more or not is still debated. But the point is now the different manufacturers are showing off how many cores they have to sell their consoles.

 

I was just pointing out that they both happen to be 8. 8-bits from the past and 8 cores from today.

IIRC the PS4's GPU is very similar to the 7850 whilst the Xbox one uses a 7790 counterpart.

 

The PS4 will definitely be a more purist gaming console, that's for sure.
