Edge: PS4 launch in Europe early 2014, US/JP 2013, more powerful than next Xbox

More powerful even if they use the Same Video GPU from AMD. 

[QUOTE="ReadingRainbow4"]

[QUOTE="walkingdream"] I was gonna say i have 16gb of DDR3 In my PC and it seems more than fast enough to run things :P So long as the GPU and CPU are reasonably close the RAM won't matter all that much if you have enough of it ;)walkingdream

It's less about the size and more about the speed.

applications rarely use over 2gb. why sony wants to stick 8gb to compare with MS honestly has me puzzled.

Microsoft must have some bloated Kinect embodied interface is all I can think of.

You do know that GDD5 ram is very expensive and also it's not yet support in Motherboards in PCs. 

Interesting, but power only goes so far. I'm more interested in seeing what games it will have. I skipped the PS3 entirely last gen, and quit the Xbox 360 about half way through. Sony's platform just didn't have games that interested me, or I tried them on a friend's system and found them to be disappointing.

I'm sure sony gets a killer deal for buying in bulk.

most likely around $15 per gb.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"]

[QUOTE="Desmonic"] GDDR5 ram is better for games but the sheer amount of DDR3 memory on MS's machine (4 GBvs 8GB) might be more than enough to counter it. Expect them to be more even than this gen though.Desmonic

No doubt GDD5 ram is faster than GDD3 ram but the less you have of it means you can't have higer textures. So if PS4 only has 4gb and next Xbox has 8gb. 

I doubt Sony could afford to put in 8gb of DDR5 Ram. Also I think the Next Xbox is going to use 8gb DDR3 Ram, plus 2gb of DDR5 Video Ram. 

No way in hell will it be 8GB of DDR5.:?

**** is way to expensive. They might use DDR3 tho

[QUOTE="DerekLoffin"] Remember, this is total memory, not just video memory. 8 gigs of video memory probably would be massive overkill, but 8 gigs of total memory is not that out of line, especially as it looks like they are going to be running memory heavy OSes.DerekLoffin

Only Kinect 2.0 will be be OS heavy. $80 Xbox Live fees incoming...

Sony will dedicate 1GB to the OS from I have read.

Except Microsoft will be dedicated 5GB of slow RAM to games while PS4 dedicates 3GB of much faster RAM. Microsoft will have a bloated OS.

This could be my second midnight launch that i go to.. im very excited for the next console and will be purchasing day 1 as long as $350 or less

- insider information - insider claims the console is more powerful without proof to back it up (only on paper and rumors )

- insider claims that xbox GPU is from unknown source,when is been known for long time that AMD has been developing the GPU.

- insider claims that Durango devkits offer 8GB of RAM when its well known fact that devkits pack double the amount of ram and there is durango kits with 16GB of ram

- insider is just another moron fanboy. Edge should feel bad for using clueless idiots as sources.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="Drasonak"] Because you're an edgy teenager who thinks he's cool for saying that. You know Germany is huge on censorship, right? Holocaust denial sites are banned, violent games like Dead Space are banned, Nazi propaganda videos are banned (Because **** history, right? Let's just pretend it never happened), etc. No freeze peach for you, sorry. Oh, and they're prime minister, Angela Merkel is a ****ing racist. "Multiculturalism has utterly failed." She says that as if these people are supposed to change over night. It takes a generation or two, just as it did when America started getting different ethnic groups from Europe and other places. How can she not realize this? Because she hates foreign brown people, that's why.Drasonak

Teaching evolution in schools isn't banned in any state. Any Board of Education that tries to hinder the teaching of it in any way (usually in the southern states) usually does not get reelected for the next term. But please tell me where we can't discuss evolution in the classroom instead of pulling bull**** you read from other members on here out your ass.

Abortion has been legal in all 50 states since 1973.

Gay marriage is legal in nine states, and civil unions are available in many more. Three states legalized it just last year, so it's obviously going to become much bigger by the end of the decade. The liberal bastion that is Sweden didn't even legalize it until 2009, and there many Western European countries, like Italy, that still have it banned. How far behind do you really think we are? Plus, America is a very religious country, which is why we have done so much (because we faith in God and he returns the favor). Gay marriage isn't necessarily a good thing.

512MB RAM for PS4's OS, 4GB for 720's OS.

8gb of RAM? PC games only use 1.5gb max.

Funny cos an "Insider" from Sony apparently said they are not trying to beat the Xbox on raw power. Yet here this says it's more powerful. So many conflicting stories.

I read an article that talked about how a lot of the leaks that are claimed to be true are actually false.

I will never need to buy another console again :oops:
