The GPU itself is an order of magnitude faster than RSX, and that’s not even touching on the bus bandwidth. An order of magnitude is a significant jump, however you slice it. Feel free to shift the goalposts to “oh but the games aren’t any better amirite?!??!” if you must, but PS3 -> PS4 was both a majorly significant architecture change (that desperately needed to happen in order to harmonise the dev pipeline so that PS didn’t get left out in the cold with ports of mainlined PC and Xbox dev) and a significant performance jump.Yossarian wrote:More shinies, yeah, beyond that?
