Is my CPU more powerful than a PS4s one???

You pc is much more powerful than a ps4.

The game performance you get will also be determined by the graphics card you have

PS4 has 8 cores clocked at only 1.6GHz , so the current processor is faster than PS4 CPU . PS4 has iGPU like HD 7850 .

Your rig is faster than PS4

Edit: R9 280X is 64% faster than HD 7850

It doesn't matter that your cpu is more powerful than a gaming console. The gaming console has virtually no overhead that a regular pc has to deal with. Also the games are coded specifically for gaming consoles. PC's get poorly ported, buggy versions of the console games. This makes things even worse.

You should take the effort to spell and punctuate. Not doing so shows a lack of respect for the people who are "trying" to read your post and answer your initial question.

Bmacsys was trying to help. There is no point comparing consoles to pc's it's not the same. It's worse than trying to compare gaming on a laptop with mobile versions of cpu's and gpu's to desktop pc's. If you want a console, buy a console. Saying well a playstation only has this speed and this many cores and my pc has the same but faster cores so it's definitely this many times better is a flawed comparison. Software versions and programming make all the difference in the world, and if you don't think it does then why does a pc game play so much better after just a patch? They don't sneak into your pc and upgrade the parts.

It's easier for gaming consoles since the game developer can write a specific piece of code for a platform which doesn't change. It's highly optimized. They know what processor it has, what memory, what graphics etc. They have no idea what your pc has in it, it could be any one of 15 different amd cpu's or one of 10-15 intel cpu's, in any combination with whatever graphics card. So they have to code it more of a 'one size fits most' and at the same time, none of those will suit any one particular pc the best. It may take more processing and graphics power from a pc to play the same game title in pc format than it takes a console to play the console ported version.

It would make more sense if you've already decided you're going to play a specific game on your pc to find out what pc specs are required for smooth gameplay and at what detail level (mid, high, ultra) and at what resolution. Don't worry about how a console plays a game unless you plan on getting a console since it has no bearing on playing the game on your pc.

The overhead mentioned by bmacsys is an accurate comment. There's no telling how your pc will play the game from one session to another. Do you have a lot of browser windows open in the background one time and not another time? Are you playing itunes in the background one gaming session and not another? Pc's are so variable when it comes to conditions that your gameplay may be affected from one session to another. Consoles don't suffer from this, they're extremely consistent. In the end, whether your pc is faster than a ps4 isn't relevant. Does the game play at good visual quality and at smooth playable frame rates on your pc? That's all that matters. Whether it plays well or poorly on your pc, how it compares to a ps4 or xbox doesn't change a thing about how it plays for you on the pc platform.

In terms of CPU horsepower, the PS4's CPU can push about 110 GFLOPS, or about the level of a C2Q from 7-8 years ago. By contrast, the Cell CPU in the PS3 can realistically push about 170 GFLOPS, and has a theoretical maximum of 240 GFLOPS.

Just to put in perspective how crippled consoles are these days.

You could punctuate and spell. You aren't dumb. Just lazy.
