I heard it connects to the internet faster. Not sure if true though. Apparently some guy's download speed was 3x faster with his pro than his original PS4.

>playstation 4 PRO

>PRO

>implying you can be an professional game-

wait, I forgot it's 2016 and people make a living streaming their gaming sessions.

>Korean caps

Garbage.

why is ps4's board so much less cluttered than xbone's?

>Use AyyMD
>Have console that draws 300w of power

lmao

they didn't do any better back when they used their own chips

>shitty APOO
>4k
AYYY LMAO

>using wireless for downloading large amounts of data
>thinking hardware in an end user device will somehow increase your connection speeds

It's nice to see the Intel Defense Force in action, like always ;^)

It's not like their chips are any better than AMD's, to begin with.
>MIPS R3000A
>EmotionEngine (MIPS R4000)/ Graphics Synthesizer
>CELL BE/ Reality Synthesizer (nVidia-made GPU)

hes an nvidia cocksucker, they literally can do no wrong to him and AMD is super evil.

>shitty APOO will run games at 4k@60fps high while i7+1080 still stuggle
sure thing amdrone

a few trivial observations:
> xbone uses 16*16b DDR parts instead of 8*32b GDDR5
> ps4 board has at least the RAM on the backside of the PCB
> ps4 board has more clustered voltage regulation, xbone has it more distributed
> xbone has a more substantial southbridge/coprocessor directing secondary and tertiary ASICs, ps4 looks much more centralized

well looks cool, thank god you can clean the fan with voiding warranty.

Because i lost my original PS3 (Fat 60GB) due the YLOD, bought at launch.
;_;

You forgot the PSP (a tweaked MIPS R4000) and the Vita (Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9 + PowerVR).

all the wasted space on pcb. why ?
cant wait to see ps4pro super slim

>Implying Sup Forums knows anything about PCB design

Ps4 pro using hgst drive?
Should I buy one just for hgst?

ps4pss confirmed

Not true at all. They have identical maximum network speeds.

upvoted

>PRO
Where is the fucking displayport output?

The PS4 Pro has 5GHz wifi support, the original does not. I think they added 5 GHz on the PS4 Slim too but I'm not sure. Anyway I connect via wire whenever I can.

Superior Japanese Silicon

Folded 44 times

>Superior Japanese Silicon
LMAO, the SoC literally says "Diffused in Taiwan" and "Made in Malaysia".

>you have to teardown the entire console to get to the CMOS battery

Why the fuck do they do that? I though they realized it was a retarded idea with the PS2 Slim.

>green PCB
>the year of the Lord 2016

>He hates classic look'n'fell on PCBs
apply yourself

All Asians are the same my Nigga

ya maybe minecraft u retard. More like 4K@30fps, which is still bretty darn impressive.

HDMI is what the cool kids use, user.

>original PS3
Man, I feel you, those were the days. The original PS3 was glorious with its 4 USB ports and Memory Card reader, back then when Sony wanted to sold the PS3 as a PC replacement and a true multimedia machine, instead of a mere console.

chuckled

>getting autistic over the color of a component you should never see

>220 lol
Cheap board indeed

love those Sony teardowns.

why american companies can't do the same shit?

Because american products are usually hard to disassemble and some of them are just straight impossible to repair, like iPhones.

What do you mean?

People are dumb enough to pay 400 bucks for that board with some cheap plastic wrapped around it while for the same amount of money you could get a new good GPU + SSD and make your PC outperform the GayStation 4 pro by a whole lot.

PC has no games tho. They get unoptimized sloppy second ports and they arrive late.

>PC has no games tho
I know this is Sup Forums tier bait, but gonna reply anyway.
PC has more games than all consoles put together. What has PS4 got to offer? Bloodborne? *crickets chirping*
>They get unoptimized sloppy second ports and they arrive late
Because these games are optimized for the cheap shitty consoles. Games that are actually well optimized for PC would run in high resolution with everything on max at +60fps on a toaster.
You get what you pay for and with the PS4 pro you get "hardware" that's worth 200$ at best while sony makes at least 200$ profit from ripping people off with their 90% china plastic console.
4 da gaymers.

>consoles

Xbone has SSD right on the board to use as cache.

I'm guessing the PS4 also has a ton more stuff on the back?

only if sony put a priority to pro consoles on the server?

PS4 has persona 5, nioh, final fantasy xv, uncharted 4, yakuza 6, kingdom hearts 2.8 and 3, horizon, ace combat 7, and a whole host of other exclusive JRPGs

All PC has is MOBAs and second rate ports handled by Nvidia Goyworks.

yeah, guessed it right, PS4 is less cluttered on the top because it is way more cluttered on the back of the board.

I wish the few weebshit games I play get pc ports.

>way more cluttered on the back of the board
>8 ram chips
>1 nand
>3 ASICs
lol

that's just the rated.
it pulls 150W, the same as old ps4.

It's got a better wireless adapter but the regular PS4's download speeds were limited by PSN sucking, not the actual network hardware.

Yeah its the spec of the power supply.

Why would you do that?

>dat wasted space
Jesus fucking christ. WTF sony

>all that wasted pcb

>No 4K bluray player

Mine is still running. Had the GPU resoldered with non lead-free solder, did the trick. Hardware PS2 emulation FTW.

>falling for the 4K meme

Falling for the physical meme

Do you own a tv that uses DP?

>falling for the meme meme

just got my pro today. on wifi the pro seems to be faster although it is hard to do a real comparison desu. i use wired though and they both max out my connection.

>muh online distribution
Enjoy your bit-starved content.
Physical content does not have that.

>buying physical content
>not torrenting 4K blu-ray rips saved in a USB or streaming directly from your FTP/media server
user, please.

that qt hairy sony engineer, tho
:3

iPhones are far easier to repair than Samsung Galaxy phones.

>Check out the old PS4 specs
>AC
>Wait, what--when?

Now I have to decide whether to cut the cord or not....

>consoles

That still doesn't explain a gorillion of discrete caps/resistors and small chips on the xbone board.

>pc """""exclusives"""""
>sc2
>literally everything else is pay2win or cheap indie crap

cmon user, are you that desperate for (you)'s?

>pay2win
>cheap indie crap
Football Manager 2016
Rome II
Grim Dawn
CIV VI (Not on there but applicable)
Offworld Trading Company (Indie but not crap)
Europa Universalis
Stardew "So Comfy" Valley
Stellaris (Indie - Not crap)

I mean this is just a few but your point is null and void. Good day sir.
