Launched on November 15, 2013 in North America,
November 29, 2013 in Europe and Australia.
To Compete with the Nintendo Wii U and Microsoft Xbox One,
as one of the eighth generation of video game consoles as I have discussed earlier.
AMD in the assembly of PS4 using Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) on the engine, so it automatically in a package in one product both Processors and Graphic Cards,
no question about his ability because AMD has used their best technology in the package so that there is no term economically in a PS4,
If you want to find the very best in image quality and performance,
the choice of course you choose is PS4, Why?
Here the reason...
In the case of PC,
1. Xbox one has a GPU similar to Bonaire GPU in the Radeon HD 7790, while the
2. PS4 is equipped with Pitcairn GPU found in the Radeon HD 7870.
3. Nintendo Wii U Not a lot is known about the Wii U graphics processor code-named Latte. We do understand though that this is a custom AMD Radeon HD micro-architecture with unified stream processors with GPGPU maybe Radeon HD 4850
In numerical terms,
Xbox One GPU has 12 Compute Units countless number of 768 shader processors,
whereas PS4 has 18 Compute Units as of 1152 a number of shader processors (40% stronger).
Wii U has a 5 Compute Units countless number of 320 shader processors
even Xbox slightly in front of the PS4 GPU clock speeds - 853MHz vs. 800MHz vs 549Mhz for the Nintendo Wii U it does not become an obstacle that needs to be taken into account because everything is taken into AMD consideration in the making -
who can pay more get more,
nature rule.
of course this is very reasonable for example:
1. for the PS4 GPU can perform 1.84 teraflops and the fastest GPU last generation, the Xbox One's GPU offers 1.32 teraflops, as it offered a total performance of 0.23 teraflops to compare. And the Wii U has 1/3 of the SPU's so it has 0.352 teraflops. (a measure of computer performance is more accurate than the measurement of instructions per second.)
2. Ram owned PS4 8Gb DDR5 RAM to 5500MHz while the Xbox One 8Gb DDR3 RAM to 2133MHz and Wii U 2Gb DDR3 RAM to 1600MHz (under ability PS4 bandwidth of 176 Gb / sec vs. Xbox One 68.3 Gb / sec and Wii U 12.8 Gb / sec )
so you can imagine for the moment PS4 is a gaming console that is not economical and certainly xbox one and cooperation issued by Nintendo or whatever it seems to be the monopoly of its own from AMD to gain rank in the graphic as an advantage as a manufacturer of processors at the same graphics card with the brand Radeon after era nintendo, well i dont mind, even Nvidia and Intel seem cool too.
switch architecture "Cell" homemade little tricky and Nvidia on PS3,PS4 comes with features x86-64 AMD Accelerated Processing Unit hopes to attract wider developer and support for the system. PlayStation 4 GPU that can do 1,843 teraflops, classified as the most powerful gaming console today. If you agree.
