Typical console gamers, throwing big words and numbers around trying to look smart. We dont need their console playing ass on the forum anyway.

actually it has a bit of truth. But these are still rumors but with the information at hand the ps4 does have a gpu with performance between an hd 7850-7870 while the xbox one has an hd 7770-7790. Also the ps4 hass gddr5 ram. Since it is an apu the gpu part will be having gddr5 while xbox one is using ddr3 which is slower.

I know rumoured specs I'm just saying that he thinks it definetly has those GPU's

So yes, PS4 fanboys are less dumb.

DDR3 is has lower latency ( which inturn makes it faster) but lower lower bandwidth. So, It can respond to a request very quickly but the amount of information it can give within that command is lower. GDDR5 is higher latency with higher bandwidth. So, It takes longer for it to respond to a request for information, but, It will give alot more information with that request. Also, The APU's that both microsoft and sony are using for their upcoming consoles are pretty much identical. 2 quad cores to give you an effective octocore, for the difference in performance we will have to wait till launch.

like WildTurtle said,lets just leave it until leach to see how they perform.

Someone will have to buy both console, and two copies of the same game just to prove the point.  Then again if they did, they should probably buy a high end PC and another copy of the game to show people.  Then at the end of the day... it's just a blog or video post and a few who will see for themselves.

 

Anyway, I wait for Gran Turismo 7... the only reason right now for buying PS4 console.  Disappointed I can't play GT5 and 6 on a more powerful system and higher resolution.

I know that ddr3 has lower latency  but i was talking about the bandwith and memory clocks.

Well you used the word "slower", which I assumed meant the rate at which work is done, not the amount. It makes sense for Microsoft to use DDR3 in their console since they're using like 18 VMs (FFS right?). But, typical dumbo consumer gonna think: "bigger number = better".
