Which is better: PS4 or Xbox One


Microsoft and Sony compete with each otherthe market is not the first year, and today the issue of choosing game consoles from one of these manufacturers is very relevant. The consoles of the new generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One entered the world market about a year ago (autumn 2013), and gamers are still arguing about which of these consoles is better.



Which is better: PS4 or Xbox One


Architecture and processor

PS4 and Xbox One are the first gaming consoles with a 64-bit CISC architecture. Both consoles also use the same processor - AMD with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz based on the architecture of Jaguar.

Graphical subsystem

With graphics subsystem things are differentway. Despite the fact that both the PS4 and Xbox One have one graphics accelerator - Graphics Core Next (Radeon 7870) from all the same AMD - its specifications for the brainchild of the Japanese from Sony are somewhat better. The PS4 has 18 compute units and 1152 stream processors, and Microsoft's 12 blocks and 768 processors.

RAM

Both consoles are equipped with 8 gigabytes of memory, however, again, despite the same volume, the prefix from Sony outstrips the brainchild of Microsoft'a for two reasons:

  • The PS4 has a modern memoryGDDR5 with a clock speed of 5500 MHz, while on One - morally obsolete DDR3 with a clock speed of 2133 MHz. It turns out that the speed of the two systems under consideration differs by more than two times in favor of the product of Sony.
  • Operating system PS4 for its work reserves 1 GB, leaving 7 GB free for applications and games.

On Xbox One, only 5 GB of free memory, although thisnot surprising, because the operating systems for the brainchild of Microsoft two, one of which is used for games, and the second - Windows 8 - for everything else.

Networking

Sony has implemented support for PSN, which opens a huge number of new social functions, and Microsoft has focused on the use of cloud technologies.

Verdict: Thus, the technical equipment of the PS4 head is higher than that of the Xbox One, so the product of the Japanese company is gaining a complete technical victory.
