Today, Microsoft will finally unveil the Xbox 720. Not only will we find out its real name (the money seems to be on Xbox Infinity), but more importantly we will find out how the Xbox 720's hardware stacks up against the PS4 and gaming PCs. Merely comparing hardware specs is incredibly naive, though -- to find out why, read on.
- For the first time in the history of video game consoles, its actually possible to do an almost direct comparison of the hardware inside the PS4 and Xbox One.
- The PS4 and Xbox One, however, are very similar consoles. With an x86 AMD APU at the heart of each, the Sony and Microsoft consoles are essentially PCs and their hardware specs, and thus relative performance, can be compared in the same way that you would compare two x86 laptops or ARM Android tablets.
