PS4 and Turbo Duo

[Black Tiger]

The original PS3 was designed like a Duo. Otherwise the Sega consoles are the closest thing to PCE.

So, I'm not suggesting the PC-Engine and PS4 consoles look anything alike, that wasn't the point.

It's just that the idea of the PS4 Pro, what it is, reminds me of what the SuperGrafx was, to some extent -- a beefed up version of the original console, with twice the graphics processing power and the same CPU.

The TurboDuo series, the PC Engine Shuttle, PC Engine GT and PC Engine LT, are not analogous to Sony's PS Vita, PlayStation TV, PSVR, or PS3.

PC-Engine LT and PS4

To me, the PS4'2 is just another SG1000/Mark III/Mega Drive or PSX/PS2/PS3 console, but instead of changing the name to PS5 they added Super Pro to the title.

[SGX Engine]

Well PS4 Pro is fundamentally not a new generation, it's definitely not even remotely close to what a PS5 should be.  The CPU is only 30% faster, same AMD Jaguar x86 cores. The amount of GDDR5 RAM is the same, 8GB. The memory bandwidth is only about 25% higher.  The GPU is 2.3X more powerful (double the # of Compute Units, from 18 to 36 combined with higher clock, from 800 MHz to 911 MHz) so the biggest gain is going from 1.84 TeraFlops to 4.2 TF.

The original PS4 in 2013 was about ten times more powerful than PS3 and had 16 times the amount of RAM (512 MB to 8 GB = 16X).

Do we really need two threads for this bullshit?

I bought a PS4 Pro and have it hooked up to my 4k TV and can't really tell a difference...

Apparently HDR is where the games are going to shine, but OG PS4 is getting HDR capabilities so the Pro doesn't matter much.  My 4k is a Vizio M65 from last year and HDR wasn't a thing at that point.

There is one game icon on the main menu for RIGS where on my normal PS4 you can't read the text on the guy's pants and on my Pro you can...  I guess that is proof it has MORE POWER.
