Since the announcement of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, industry personnel have been throwing out statements and speculative words regarding the new consoles, and an EA exec has stacked them up against the modern state of PCs.

“These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest-end PC on the market,” said EA Chief Technology officer Rajat Teneja.

Teneja went on to describe the original features of the new consoles, and how they allow for new design and gameplay innovations.

“Their unique design of the hardware, the underlying operating system and the live service layer create one of the most compelling platforms to reimagine game mechanics.”

“Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have adopted electronics and an integrated systems-on-a-chip (soc) architecture that unleashes magnitudes more compute and graphics power than the current generation of consoles,” added Teneja.

Teneja also explained how the company’s benchmarks have shown that the video and audio performances are 8-10 times superior to that of the current-gen consoles.
