Wild Rift proof that WoW mobile/ console is possible

I was going to do a huge comparison thing but lets talk strictly about CPU here.

Starting at the minimum…

  • for FF14, you have an Intel Core I5 2.4 GHZ (So possibly an i5-520M, with it’s 2 cores and 4 threads)
  • for ESO, you have Intel® Core i3 540 (2 cores and 4 threads, 3.06 GHZ) or AMD A6-3620 (4 Cores and threads, 2.2 GHZ)
  • and for WoW, we got Intel® Core™ i5-3450 (4 cores and threads, 3.10 GHZ) and AMD FX™ 8300 (8 cores and threads, and 3.3ghz).

For Recommended…

  • FF14, Intel® Core™i7 3GHz (i7-9700F with 8 cores and threads possibly, Squenix didn’t specify here)
  • ESO, Intel® Core i5 2300 (4 Cores/Threads, 2.8GHZ) or AMD FX4350 (4 cores and threads, 4.2GHZ)
  • WoW, Intel® Core™ i7-6700K (4 cores, 8 threads, 4GHZ) and AMD Ryzen™ 7 2700X (8 cores 16 threads, 3.7GHZ)

And just to make sure i have my sources correct, i check all three of them on Can You Run It. CPU wise, WoW’s recommended was close to my Ryzen 7 3800XT OC to 4.1GHZ.

This is the little snippet i got from this article here, so again, focusing solely on the CPU here of the PS5 and XSX.

Category PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X
CPU architecture custom AMD Zen 2 custom AMD Zen 2
CPU 8 cores / 16 threads @ up to 3.5 GHz with SMT 8 cores @ 3.8 GHz (16 threads @ 3.6 GHz with SMT)

In terms of CPU here, WoW has a higher requirement then the other two, and that’s not getting into the other specs here.

But i digress for now. ESO and FF14 will be perfectly fine, if not a little rough for 4K Native 60fps on the consoles, considering they use lower system requirements. And that makes sense because they were made for consoles as well. WoW, despite being years older then the other two MMO’s won’t be translated well enough on consoles without a lot of graphical sacrifices if your trying to hit 4K native 60fps, or upscaled 4K 60fps or 1440p 60fps or higher even.

How would this even work for phones without sacrificing everything and building from scratch?? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
