Xbox One and PS4 are a generation ahead of current high-end PCs, according to EA's CTO Rajat Teneja. The exec has discussed the leap in power between next-gen formats and current rigs in a new post.
In a LinkedIn post, Teneja said of next-gen formats, "These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market. Our benchmarks on just the video and audio performance are 8-10 times superior to the current gen.
"The compute capabilities of these platforms and the data transfer speeds we can now bank on, essentially removes any notion of rationing of systems resources for our game engines."
Cross-play is also of great interest to the exec, such as tethering third-party devices to next-gen consoles, a feature that was billed heavily at Microsoft's recent Xbox One reveal.
He continued, "We'll really start to see more examples of true cross-device play. Sony showed off the ability through their cloud gaming functionality to allow gamers to play high-end console titles on the handheld Vita product.
"The architecture of both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 present more opportunities to take your game from TV to smartphone to PC, with seamless ubiquity and experience gaming at any time, in any way on any device."
What do you think of the above? Can these machines deliver a generational leap over current, top-of-the-line PC hardware? Let us know below.
You seriously think a PS4 or Xbox can match the brute force of a system with a 3930K with 2 Titans in SLI overclocked and pushing over 1000W? Yeah right.
That's why they're going all out with the gimicky share and all-in-one thing since they know they can't compete against the PC in hardware alone.

I'll still be getting a Xbox one when it's released, didn't know a system with a 7790? Was better then a system with a 7870 or above.
But still this thread, needs to be closed. It'll just go on for a 100 pages about how EA is the worst company blah blah burn them to the ground.

You have to realize, a 3930k, a 1,000 PSU, and the term's SLI and CFX do not ring any bells in the general public. They don't know what that is. A high end PC for the general consumer is just whatever computer at Best Buy looks like it's expensive, Dell XPS and HP Elites. Those typically come with a decent processor but then are tied with a Nvidia 650 or a AMD 7770. In this sense, with the amount of support the consoles get, it's debatable that they could outperform your average "high" end pc.
But of course, 85% of the computers on OCN are quite beyond the capabilities of the consoles (spec wise) Some of you guys with tri-fire 7970's and Titans are probably already as strong as the next NEXT gen (PS5/Xbox 2)...it's just that every ounce of juice of your monster machines won't be squeezed out quite like a consoles.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if these consoles with optimization can deliver an experience on par with my sig rig, and even better later in the console life. But to say that they are a generation ahead of current high end rigs is ridiculous.
Cost for cost a next gen console is definitely going to be better than what you can build. They've always been efficiently priced, but to flat out say it's ahead of high end pc is a really bold statement, considering high end pcs are constantly changing every year while consoles remain the same throughout its life cycle.

First they say the WiiU is crap and have to correct later on, now that XOne and PS4 are a generation ahead the PC...
What the hell do they smoke over at EA?
