I wouldn't read too much into that. The current gen consoles are AMD based. They would of had to get the code right for both.
Intel do the same thing with their compiler, it cripples performance when run on AMD CPU's...Duke wrote:It's nothing new, many game developers have a tie-in with one brand or the other, hence why they work better for that brand... it goes back many years, Microsoft Flight Sim X is well known to work much better with nvidia cards for exactly this reason.
Saying that, once a game is released the other brand can & usually do try to optimise their drivers but in most cases they never quite get the same level of performance.
