P.S. Pertaining to who sold more consoles, I don’t really care as long as the games I want are released.

cheers,

Yes they are nearly identical, what isn’t is the sdk, the api and the other hardware built around them. The AI takes cycles away from the cpu so do physics and any other number crunching process, in turn this can starve the gpu as it still needs direction from the cpu, usually resulting in unstable frame rates, hence why some games on pc that have a large number of AI, physics calcs or have an engine like id tech 5 require a fairly decent cpu and a mid to high end gpu compared to other games with less AI or physics might only require a i3 and mid to high end gpu to run well, consoles are another story for the cpu as they can have the workload made to run mostly in parallel across all cores but the same limitations still apply once you hit peak perf. With more work on the cpu less frame rates result, then you’ll need to lower how much work the gpu can do to try and bring those frame rates inline with a reasonable goal. The cpu in the xbox can talk faster with the gpu than the ps4 can,

AI (generally handled by the CPU) has what to do with GPU performance? PS4 and Xbox CPUs are nearly identical.

Every console or gaming device has a power budget that can be put towards resolution, framerate, or visual effects. PS4 has a higher total budget than Xbox, and good PCs have an even higher budget.

Parity won’t happen if PS4’s hardware is being pushed.

Close is a matter of opinion. PS4’s hardware being more powerful for gaming graphics is a fact.

No. People are saying it won’t bring parity, which is true.

Aside from the forza title most would have a hard time picking real or game

Here it is

The ps4 can barely put 15 AI on screen. How is forza 5 graphically weak check out those.
