Although, on a more serious note, I expected a little more than 750 Ti levels of performance from the consoles. Do you know if they release those videos with uncompressed footage, as it's hard to check if the quality settings match up exactly when YouTube's compression is involved.

There was also that comment by a CDPR employee/manager saying something along the lines of he'd prefer to play TW3 on the worst PC that supported it than any console.
You can spend all day looking at a spec sheet, but what really matters is real world performance.

By your logic @naturalviolence, the G3528 Would be horrid because it looks bad on paper

I3 alpha benchmarks:

Two Haswell cores at 4.6 GHz with the stock cooler for £50 doesn't look bad at all, though. Very little can take much advantage of a third thread.

2 Cores without Hyperthreading does look pretty bad tbh. I think the standard should be 4C/8T But that's not happening anytime soon. Also not all g3258's can hit that high. Mine could only hit 4.2ghz and it didn't perform as well as my 3.7ghz I3

Digital Foundry has been doing this all year. You're pretty late

You cannot be serious. I should not even need to explain what's wrong with this method of benchmarking. You should know better at this point.
Oh and the alienware alpha is now 390$ on Amazon.
