People, thought increasing the RAM would create better looking games? lol...
But I do have a noob question concerning the CPUs. I'm a big amateur so please bear with me if the question is really stupid.
You state that:
"Xbox 360 has 3 symmetrical cores, PS4 will have 8 symmetrical cores, PS3 uses 8 asymmetrical cores, and Wii has a single core."
and
"The PS3 and 360 SPUs were both clocked at 3.2 GHz, while PS4 and 720 are rumored to clock at 1.6 GHz. Modern desktop PC processors clock anywhere from 2.5 to 4.2 Ghz."
Is it correct for me to then basically assume that the CPU in the PS3 is more powerful than the CPU in the PS4? I'm running off this information where you basically say that, PS3 has 8 cores, and those cores are clocked at 3.2, while the ones in PS4/720 are at 1.6 (so half the speed)?
I'm not quite understanding how the power of the processor can be qualitatively compared. How can I make a judgment on what is better or worse? or rather, how can I just make a laymen's comparison of the pros and cons and each?
I am interested in learning so a serious response would mean alot to me. I thank you in advance for answering my question.
Edit: If the answer is really really long, I would also appreciate directions to noob friendly, or well-written documentation so I can read up and learn about it on myself.
