It was an oft repeated but misguided narrative just because those chips were also used in mobile devices/laptops. But that didn’t make them weak and outdated. They were literally the new technology the year they came out.

Check this list right now
Best Processors - May 2020

Series X CPU supposed to be close to a Ryzen 7 3700

Not even top 20 on the list. Will be even further down the list by the time the consoles release.

Like I said. Y’all just run with these forum narratives and don’t really know what the hell you are talking about.
Smh.

CPUS aren't only made for gaming. Showing me a $1000 CPU with 24 cores made for engineers and comparing it a CPU like the 3700X is a bad comparison. Developers aren't going to ever target a spec like that when hardly anyone will actually own it hence why consoles are the target platform at times because the install base is there. They're not on a frigging $1500 CPU.

Same held true when X1 and PS4 released.

They were mid level CPUs with a concentration on low power consumption and heat.

Again if the devs wanted them there they would be.

Witcher 3 and Doom are on switch. Two games that look phenomenal and take higher end hardware to its knees can still be ported down to switch which is barely a step above 360.



PC install base is not smaller than console. Certain games have different sales trends



Cause they don’t feel it’s worth it.

Y’all said the current gen CPUs were just outdated mobile chips anyway right?

I'll just end off with this.
“Do you want the honest truth? This machine, [the PS4], is not so strong as you think,” Fares says. “This is like a five-year-old PC. If consoles were as powerful as PCs are today, you would see all different games. Most of the work developers put out there is to make them work on consoles.”

He seems to suggest that optimisation efforts for consoles slows game development down, while the specs themselves bottleneck developers, stopping them from doing everything they want.

While consoles have similar architecture to PC these days, it’s clear there’s still a huge gap in terms of power, even with these mid-generation upgrades. In fact, rather than jumping to a proper new generation, developers need to make sure games run on the vanilla PS4 and Xbox One. While he’s aiming specifically at the PS4 here, the Xbox One is even more underpowered and that’s what developers will need to aim for, despite the existence of the Xbox One X.
The PS4 is “like a five-year-old PC” and is holding games back, says developer


"Buh... Buh... Buh... Stop spreading forum lies. The PS4 CPU was not outdated."

"Buh... Buh... Buh... Games are created on PC and then ported to consoles."

:heh:

Edit:
Yea lets take this to the other thread.

:dahell: he said that 5 years after the consoles came out.

Of course they were “ like 5 years old” by then. :mjlol:

and he said nothing about holding games back. The writer of that story said that.
