You can see the entire conference, and GBAtemp's roundup of the event here.
not...quite. To put it simply, there's a difference between being able to discern frame-rates, and frame-rates influencing experience. Even if you can't distinguish between one frame the next, the increase of frames changes the "feel" of it in a way that you perceive in other ways other than "it ain't choppy".
TL;DR: It's faster.To be fair when it comes to the N3DS it is noticably faster loading some of the later games (Smash Bros, for example) and downloading from the eShop, the browser is better, and the stable 3D actually works. If you're getting any model of 3DS, the N3DS models are the definitive models. It is worth the upgrade, but don't make it top priority or anything.
As for the PS4 Pro, is it in any way faster, better, more stable, etc? Or is the only advantage the 4K resolution? 'cause if so, this announcement is actually a god-send for me. Because in my experience whenever a new version of a console is announced, the local trend-chasing muppets all sell their older models, making them dirt cheap for people like me who don't give a rodent's rectum about 4K resolution. So this might shave a few extra quid off my inevitable PS4 investment
Who actually cares about how many 'flops' something has? That's not representative of anything. If you're going to sell a console sell the features not some abstract number.
Are we having this argument again? Dear god.
I do, because I don't want to buy garbage hardware that's obsolete the day I buy it, gets very little support and ends up being a paperweight with a huge touchscreen controller that whole 2 games use effectively. "Features" are great, but they need some heat in the oven. Also I'm a hardware nut, so specs analysis is what interests and entertains me.
ok, but how does comparing flops give you any information about it? saying, "the ps4 pro will have higher clock speed for better framerates and support for 4k and VR" is one thing, saying "the ps4 pro has 4.5 Terraflops of processing power" is another. No PC parts are measured in number of flops, they're measured by clock speed or framerate benchmarks. Granted, benchmarks can be hit or miss but it's a more tangible value than the number of "flops" something can process.
sure, you upgrade it by replacing with the newer model!
Yes its far too powerful to run at such a low framerate!
Absolutely false, all GPU's and CPU's are measured by operations per second, be it Floating Point or Integer. Clock speed means nothing in terms of performance, it's just a measure of cycles the processor completes per second, it doesn't give you a faintest idea what the processor actually does per cycle. What this "tells me" is that the new PS4 is about 2.28 times beefier than the standard 1.84 TFLOP's model.
I don't think I've ever seen a flop comparison before this console generation, but I guess I'll take your word for it. To me it just seems more like a number for people to throw around at each other over an argument on who's console is better.
TFLOP's is a measurement we reached recently as we reached the 1 TFLOP milestone, prior to that we used GFLOP's for GPU's. It's a concise unit of processing power which admittedly doesn't translate directly to real-life performance, but it gives you a fair idea of what to expect. CPU's used to be compared with MIPS's (millions of instructions per second) since their Floating Point performance isn't particularly important, but since different architectures use different amounts of instructions to do the same task, the measurement is more rare and only demonstrates a precise difference in performance when comparing two chips in the same architecture. Clock speed is the true jerk-off metric as it doesn't really mean anything beyond the frequency, see MHz Myth. The more you know.
