Anyone else get a free game as a thank you from M$?

Find me a $400 PC that outperforms a PS4.  I'll buy it.

 

not EXACTLY 400 but:

The Xbone and PS4 has an eight core Bulldozer CPU not a 6 core Piledriver CPU.  It is nowhere near the capability.  Also that 6 core runs a tad hot.

no, actually, it's a Jaguar core custom made for Sony. It's not based on any existing architecture (that anybody knows of) it's also 1.6 ghz, not 3.5 ghz

heat production ratings at this point are moot.

I stand corrected your 6 core pisses all over the Jaguar.

Fwiw, I just ordered parts to build a new PC.   

Intel I7-4770k
16 gig ddr3 ram
Gtx 760 2gb video card

I'm ready to rock the next generation, but a new pc is pretty sweet too.

I am sourcing something similar for my bare metal ESXi w/o video.  I might go for 32gb if the price is right.
