Just played modded Crysis at a friends house. While it does look really good for it's age, it hasn't competed for many years as several people here already pointed out.

It was graphics king for a couple of years though.

Both consoles have a laptop zen 2 cpu. It's probably around 70% of a Ryzen 3700X. It's decent I guess and most likely wont be a bottleneck for 60 fps gaming, at least not for a year or two.

PC gaming can be cheaper in the long run when factoring in online fees . You could have bought a PC with a i7 3770K coupeld with a Radeon 7970 (at the time both were previous gen from Intel and AMD) back in 2013 when the ps4/xbone released.

Given such PC would probably have cost twice as much as getting a console back then but factoring in online fees over the years as I said it could even out to the PC's advantage. And that PC is way superior to the consoles in terms of performance which equals better gameplay and graphics.

Well by the time next gen releases we will probably have the geforce RTX 3000 series, amd's new GPUs and the next generation of intel and amd CPUs.

An i5 10600k coupled with an RTX 3060 might very well be enough to match the series X. And such a pc isn't out of reach for most people.

And the RTX 3070, 3080 and 3080ti will all very likely outperform it.

The 360 and the ps3 were pretty much evenly matched.

As for Halo 4 vs KZ2 i'd say they trade blows, better animations and particle effects in KZ2 but Halo 4 looked crisp and has more shit going on at once on screen. They are both fun games and very different so hard to compare.

10GB at 560GB/s and 6GB at 336GB/s. Is the latter lower latency memory for the CPU perhaps?

Anyway great specs, especially the bump in CPU power, it will be very interesting to see how multiplats turn out in the coming years.

• Final Fantasy 7
• Final Fantasy 6
• Final Fantasy 10
• Chrono Trigger
• Chrono Cross

The upcoming generation seems promising but there is still much we don't know about the specs. Hopefully it will be a close match for a decent/midrange PC at launch.

We will have newer hardware available by then. It'll be interesting to see how next gen compares to an i5 10600 (6C 12T) coupled with an RTX 3060 (essentially a mid-range system at launch)

I would bet on such a PC but I'm hoping the new consoles are close, more powerful consoles = better, more advanced multiplats.

Well, I said "if I remember correctly"

Did a quick search on multi core benchmarks.

With some rough calculations I would estimate that the ps4 CPU has about 34% the speed of the 4770K which was released the same year as the ps4.

What do we know about the CPU cores, any rumours? The ps4/xbone had about 45% CPU grunt of a modern i7 (4770K) at release, if I remember correctly.

Are there any speculations how the upcoming gen will fare against a modern i7 at release. If history repeats itself and we get about half the power of an i7 10700K (which is rumoured to be slightly faster than the 9900K) it's decent I guess but I'm hoping for a bit more. More powerful consoles = better/more advanced multiplats.
