Specifications of next-gen gaming consoles, like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One PC arguably similar to "high-end". Both of these game machines equipped 8GB of RAM and 8-core processors.
But are they really able to "equivalent" to the PCs, especially in matters of graphics capability?
According to Nvidia senior vice president Tony Tamási, the answer is "no". "There might be another console could match grais PC capabilities," Tamási said in an interview with PC PowerPlay cited by BGR.
Tamási reasoned that the two companies development company graphics chip used in gaming consoles-the-past AMD and Nvidia continue to innovate every year.
As a result, both companies made the graphics chip that is used on any PC faster growing and more powerful over time.
"(At the time) PlayStation 2 is more powerful than the PC ... but when the new 3D graphics really get into the PC industry," Tamási said .
According to him, the situation is different now. Even before the PS4 and Xbox One officially go on sale though, their technology has lagged behind Nvidia and AMD graphics offerings for the PC.
Another reason relates to the amount of power available for the PC and consoles. After pressing the power consumption and noise cooling fan, game console just to be fed power supply 200 to 300 watts. "There's no way to match the Xbox 200 watt 1000 watt PC," said Tamási.
Nevertheless, Tamási not dismiss the fact that gaming consoles can be optimized on hardware and software configurations thanks to the uniform.
In this regard, he said that the chip architecture of next-gen consoles that use x86 (with AMD processor) will also benefit the development of the game on PC. You see, the architecture is similar to that used in desktop computers.
"That is, most of the optimization for the console also applies to similar games on the PC platform ... First, there are many obstacles to make porting games from console to PC. Later, it can be done much more easily," Tamás said.
