PS4 Stealth Update Unlocks Extra CPU Core

4.4

A new stealth update by Sony for the PS4 has allowed developers to take advantage of a new CPU core. This follows Microsoft unlocking an extra CPU core for the Xbox One, thus allowing for improved performance.

Sony stated that, “Core 6 is now denoted as shared, and for new captures, Razor splits the activity on that core between user and system. Old captures still show core 6 as a system core, as was accurate at the time they were made.”

Both the PS4 and Xbox One are based off of AMD’s Jaguar chipset which features eight cores. It should be interesting to see which direction this goes in, especially with all the concern about both current gen consoles essentially being outdated at launch and being outmatched by PCs down the line.

What are your thoughts on the unlocked CPU core for PS4? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more updates on the effect of this in future games.

JTHM Seems like they're just biting off of Xbox at this point.. Lol

Let's be honest, PS4 pisses all over Xbox one

Not really. They're both equal in performance. Honestly neither of them is better than the other

PS4 started off strong and still is strong, xbox one started terrible and is building its way up to the ps4, maybe even past it at a point.

Nah man its about that PC master race

The xbox is still bad, they advertised the thing at 1080p and we are lucky if it pulls a ported 1080p half the time. And as for PC, the PSN players triple the amount of PC players --- therefore its not about the PC master race.

You're an idiot if you think theres more PSN players...
EXLUDING THE FAKE ACCOUNTS AND BANNED ONES.
Theres obviously more PC players. (Steam is not the only platform kiddos, theres origin, and many others)

PC is a lot more pricey therefore you aren't going to have as many people. You can argue all you feel, but I know many many people that don't own a gaming PC simply because of the g

The entire price argument is complete bs at this point. A $400 PC can destroy a console of the same price. As to the guy saying PS4 has more players, jesus where do I start with this?

Its going to be interesting to see where this leads to.

I really am tempted to get myself a PS4 even though I play on Xbox one.. I just think switching it up every now and then would be nice
