NVIDIA reveals PlayStation 4’s GPU superiority over Xbox 720, NVIDIA claims they will outperform current-generation consoles with their next mobile processor, and Epic Games pronounces the PlayStation 4 as a perfect gaming PC, THIS IS NICK’S GAMING VIEW!
Hello everyone and welcome to Nick’s Gaming View, you are here with your host, Nick McCandless. NVIDIA and AMD have both found themselves in the eyes of much publicity regarding the hardware implemented within the PlayStation 4 and next-generation Xbox and recently NVIDIA revealed information that seems to reveal the superiority of PlayStation 4’s GPU over that of the next Xbox which NVIDIA has named, Xbox 720. Contained within a graph showcasing how NVIDIA’s greatest GPU on the market, the Titan, is three times the power of the PlayStation 4, the Xbox 720 is also located on the graph despite no official announcements from Microsoft. Measured in GPU Flops, the graph clearly displays the PlayStation 4 being approximately 2,000 GPU flops higher than that of the Xbox 720. Does NVIDIA really know the GPU implemented within the next Xbox or are they basing the graph off of recent rumors? We won’t truly know until the next Xbox is announced, but coming from NVIDIA, I highly doubt they would release such information if not official.
Continuing on with NVIDIA, Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President of Content and Technology for NVIDIA, has released a statement regarding their successor to their current powerful Tegra 4 processor “The PS3 and Xbox 360 are barely more powerful than mobile devices... The next click of mobile phones will outperform [them],” It will be interesting to see what NVIDIA has in store for gamers with the yet to be announced Tegra 5, but NVIDIA has surely been taking many shots at the video game platforms lately.
Wrapping up Nick’s Gaming View, despite the claims NVIDIA has been releasing regarding the PlayStation 4, Epic Games’ VP, Mark Rein, has compared the PlayStation 4 to owning “the world’s best PC,” The reasoning behind such statement is backed by the fact that the PlayStation 4’s 8GBs of RAM allows for more than what most PCs can do because of most PCs running on a 32-bit version of Windows. It will be interesting to see how smooth the development process goes with the PlayStation 4 in the eyes of the consumer once the console launches this Holiday season, but according to the various praises received from the industry’s leading development and publishing houses, I feel no worries are needed.
