PS4 Pro Release Date, News & Update: 4.2 Teraflops Not Enough For True 4K, Says Microsoft; Windows 10 Nagware Removes from Windows 7,8

PS4 Pro's 4.2 teraflops is not adequate to do true 4K. This was according to Microsoft's Albert Penello, who generally stated that Sony's claims about its 4K feature comes with a number of doubts.

The PS4 Pro games are reported to be upgraded up to 4K contrary to being rendered natively at such mark. On the other hand, Microsoft's Xbox Scorpio games are going to be rendered at native 4K, as confirmed by the company's general manager Shannon Loftis.

According to Penello, Sony is going to take six teraflops of power to do what they believe is best for their game. However, he also believes that 4.2 teraflops will not be enough to do true 4K. This could suggest that Microsoft's product aspired a little higher, and that the company will likely have fewer doubts about the 4K experiences they deliver. As for the performance, Penello believes that the advantage of Xbox Scorpio against PS4 Pro will be very evident.

PS4 Pro is set to go on sale in November and will be priced at $400, while Xbox Scorpio is expected to come in holiday 2017. Although a price point for Xbox Scorpio is yet to be announced, Microsoft has already called it a premium product, which could mean it is unlikely to be offered cheap, GameSpot reported.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has reportedly excised quietly the free upgrade offers for Windows 10 from Windows 7 and 8 or the GWX.exe. Based on reports, PCs that run Windows 8.x or 7 and Windows Update will quietly remove the nagware with the help of the new update called KB3184143.

In an article posted by Microsoft, it stated that the update deletes the Get Windows 10 app, including other software connected to the Windows 10 free upgrade promo that already expired on July 29, 2016. Furthermore, the software company also recommends no action to be taken except for a restart, The Register reported.
