EA exec says that next-gen “are a generation ahead” of high end PC’s


Via a LinkedIn post, EA CTO Rajat Teneja has commented that the next gen consoles, Xbox One and PS4 are much ahead of current high-end PC’s.

To quote him, “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.”

He added, “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.”

I find that hard to believe. Let us know your thoughts below.
