PS4 and Xbox One 'a generation ahead' of high end PCs - EA CTO
Writing on LinkedIn, EA chief technology officer Rajat Teneja noted that the horsepower of current high-end PCs will be dwarved by Sony and Microsoft's next-gen consoles.
"Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have adopted electronics and an integrated systems-on-a-chip (soc) architecture that unleashes magnitudes more compute and graphics power than the current generation of consoles," Teneja wrote.
On the comparison between current and next-gen consoles, Teneja believes the new consoles will perform 8-10 times better than the PS3 and Xbox 360.
"These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market and their unique design of the hardware, the underlying operating system and the live service layer create one of the most compelling platforms to reimagine game mechanics."
Similarly, Avalanche Studios CTO Linus Blomberg said in March that the PlayStation 4's 8gb RAM will ensure it will "out-power most PCs for years to come."
Xbox One was this week unveiled at an event in Washington. Read all about it at our Xbox One information hub.

Yeah okay, have fun on 30FPS (60 if you play CoD, I'm not sure of any other games that go to 60FPS on console) while some PC gamers are on 100+

This was meant for beet.
I believe it is time for you to recive and edumaction. first off mods, NEWS BREAKER HERE! consoles have mods to yes pc has better ones but if you belive mods are what make games good sir you are sadly mistaken. next frame rate, yes its lower on xbox this prevents lots of frame rate dropps unlike what i tend to see on pcs. next free online. free online means you are not paying. paying for xbox is paying for security i see more security problems on computers than i do on consoles so you cant win there either. hmmm ultra ghrapics setting big woop prepare for fps drop, but you know who needs ultra when you have hdmi, ive seen ultra not that big of a diffrence. Design? there a rectangle just like consoles. Teamspeak? do i even have to start. Game chat and party chat and voip. more games? most games for pcs are on consoles, those that arnt are usually 3rd party but consoles make up for that with their own games that pc users cant get unless u mod. better games? i beg to differ its the same gameplay just not ultra ghrapics and amount of players, its the gameplay, engineering, and story telling that makes games fun. cheaper games!!!??!??! really. nah im kidding their not cheaper. battlefield 4 pc: 60$ consoles: 60$ Call of duty 4: PC 19$ consoles 9.99$ Fallout 3: pc: 9% consoles: 6$, i have hundreds more btw im basing this off of where you can really get pc games and console games since they usually dont sell the games in same places. ok next things next. it is harder to find physical copies of pc games in stores especially if there 3+ months old so goood try. Steam summer and winter sale ooooooo! XBOX WEEKLY SALE B*TCH! and ps3 also have lots of sales, so good try little boy. More realistic games depends how you consider that. You can get keyboards for consoles dumbA**. mouse why need a mouse on a console you have a controller and u can by a chat pad. 2560 x 1600. honestly so what its resolution. more customibility of hardware. ok lets get this straight. you can do that on xbox but its not legal same with ps3. but who cares its for playing games not dressing it up like a barbie doll. ssd and hdd honestly look more people still use hdd even with computers i even prefer an hdd computer. Steam, We have xbox live and xbox live marketplace so good try. steam workshop, like i said earlier its the game that is suppose to be fun not the stuff you add to it. but other than that i dont use steam workshop. Cool leds and leds on fans you can do that with an xbox and ps3 learn how to. theres mmos on consoles just no body likes them. i played some, but computer does have more but usually you have to pay for those. More realistic games. its the gameplay, storytelling, and engineering that make a game fun. do you really want realistic games that defeat the purpose of games like mortal kombat, call of duty, halo, brink, fallout, star wars, minecraft, castle crashers, i can go on forever, etc... Some times its better to be tied to one service. then you only have to rember one set of account info. badazz ghrapics card? how much do those cost, probably more than a console, where playing a game here not trying to waste money on a little peice of technology that we could do with out a high tech fancy one. Water cooling, please call me if your water cooling system messes up and water gets all in your computer, ill repair it on the house. Better community, i see more f*gs on pc than i do consoles and little kids who think they can ddos you. trust me computers communitys are more hacking and modding that competitive gaming. Thetechgame has more areas for console relative talk and discussion than pc good try. like i said earlier you can use a keyboard on consoles, especially for browsing. dont have crappy game ports: like minecraft and battlefield. last time i checked those were doing pretty good. you must of never played them. "and many more my friend" yes i also have many more my friend. Now u said that consoles battlefield runs on low to medium on computer. its funny if i play a game on computer on medium it looks nothing like 720p on consoles. Ive seen battlefield on high and ive seend it on hdmi they look basically the same. so basically i just gave you a lesson both have pros and cons but consoles have the best pro of all time. PRICING! so todays lesson was brought to you by fallout. when you need to be proven wrong call fallout

PCs will always be better if you have the money. I agree consoles are good for someone who just wants to game and doesn't want to be bothered with building it, etc. But when you have the money for a high end PC you can build, it is a lot better. My computer which I built in 2011 will still be better than the next gen consoles both performance and graphics wise without having to upgrade it. Also I like PC better because I find that it runs smoother and I like how the games are half of the time a little cheaper on PC than on console. Plus you can almost get any game on PC via download instead of going to the store while consoles only have a select list of games you can purchase via download.

-Fallout I find it funny how all pc users get mad when there so called computer specs are challenged. honestly with the specs of the xbox one may not be as good you never know because none of us have tested this hardware so no one should be saying which is better by looking at words. but at the moment the xbox one and ps4 are ahead of high end pc's how? Not only do people who work around this say this but your looking at good hardware in these consoles, and there prices arnt outrageous, so pc may have better specs but dont argue with me untill i see a high end gaming pc that can play battlefield on high+ ghrapics without fps drop, or any other issue, along with those other high dollar items for less than 500$ you shouldnt even argue. also unless someone shows me a side by side comparison between the next-gen consoles (u must have access to one) and a high-end pc you cant talk. but yea if you want to spend thousands of dollars getting a good gaming pc insteand of 500$ or less on a console that will give you the same exact game experince you sir are the dumbest son of a ***** i have ever seen. i use pc's for everyday things and a console for gaming and i still havent even spent 1000 $ on both my pc that can play my favorite games and my xbox. so in terms of money the consoles will always outdue pcs so give up the fight not everyone wants to waste thousands of dollars just to play a game. end of story.
I spent my money on a $1200 Gaming PC. I do not use it just for playing games, I make games. My cousin spent his money to build a $700 gaming PC. He has more Ghz than the PS4 or Xbox one. Also they are not going to throw in that much of an expensive GPU.
The experience of gaming on the PC is far superior to that of the console and here is why:
Mods
Frame Rate
Free Online (Sony got the memo that this should be standard anyways)
Ultra Graphic Settings
Design
Teamspeak/Ventrilo
More Games
Better Games
Cheaper Games
Steam Summer/Winter SALE
More Realistic Games
Keyboard
Mouse
2560 x 1600 Resolution
More Customibility of hardware
Easier internet access
SSD
Steam
Steam Workshop
Cool LED Lights
Cool LED Lights on Fans
MMOs
More Realistic Games
Not tied to one Online Service
Badazz Graphics Cards
Water Cooling
Console Commands
Better Community (Not a bunch of Ignorant Casual Gamers)
TheTechGame.com lol
Do not have to Browse with a controller or... Kinect lol
Do not have crappy ports of games (Ex. Minecraft and Battlefield)
And many many more my friend :)
Also Battlefield does not run on High on Xbox it runs somewhere between low and medium settings. Also console BF3 has 24 player online and PC has 64 player online with 1 extra objective point on conquest.
You obviously have not spent that much time playing a high end gaming PC because the second you start playing a game like BF3 or Skyrim you notice the MASSIVE framerate jump which you can only notice in person (Youtubes framerate does not go that high).

I find it funny because it says "According To Electronic Arts", PC's "Custom Built Ones" will always reign supreme and consoles will never be more powerful because pcs you can upgrade anytime you like consoles you can't.

danb95 Who cares if it's better than a pc or not it's cheaper than buying s high end pc.
Beet A high end pc has a GTX Titan. Neither consoles will have that.
No console is going to cost 800 plus.Whoever spends 800 plus on a graphics card is an idiot, end of.
But the topic isint about the money, they said high end pc's which include components such as that.
