Playstation 4 is 50 Percent Faster Than Xbox One - Says Developers
By Maya Mayfield13th September 2013
The Playstation 4 is apparently 50% faster than the Xbox One, according to a number of developers working to release games on both next-gen systems.
Speaking with Edge-online, the anonymous sources described the difference of power between the PS4 and Xbox One as "extremely significant" and "very obvious", with the Playstation 4's memory reading around 40-50% faster than the Xbox One.
Microsoft recently revealed they had pushed upped the clock speed for the Xbox One and have denied claims of the PS4 being faster than the Xbox One. According to the sources "the Xbox One clock speed update is not very significant" and "does not change things that much."
The anonymous developers had a few more unpleasantly words to say in regards to Microsofts next-gen system stating, "Microsoft's Xbox One is weak as a next-gen contender, and it is an absolute pain using its ESRAM", these developers also mentioned the graphics drivers being horrible and that microsoft has been late delivering their drivers.
One developer even mentioned toning down PS4's version of multi-platform games, to avoid embarrassing Microsoft and its Xbox One.
I guess this report would seem fairly one sided and fan-boyish considering that it is being reported from a PS4 only website. So we can report that, it wasn't all bad news for Xbox One,
as one developer did mention where the Xbox One
was able to outperform the PS4, during game testing.
The developer said, "If you are using procedural generation or raytracing via parametric surfaces – that is using a lot of memory writes and not a lot of texturing or ALU – Xbox One will most likely be faster than the Playstation 4 then.”
Despite the various views the general consensus is that the PS4 does have significant power, and speed advantages over its next-gen rival Xbox One from the feed back of these particular game developers, and that is more bad news for Microsoft and Xbox One.
