Connectivity
Console connectivity
Computers, Gaming devices and mobile phones require different conenctions to create a effective user experience whether its including internet access connections, headphones jacks, high resolution outputs, usb ports and other wireless connectivity.

Sound
Sound
Computer technology can output information through speakers to make sound, gaming devices use sound cards to controll the information being sent to the speakers.
Sound Cards
Sound cards not only processor the output of sound but the input aswell, these Sound cards can support a number of different speaker set ups such as 2.0 (stereo), 2.1 (stereo and subwoofer) and 5.1 (surround sound). Both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 offer up to 5.1 surround sound support whereas portable mobile devecies such as the PS Vita only offer an audio jack ouput.
Just like Graphics cards Sound cards have there own dedicated ram allowing them to have fast reactions, processor data quickly and wont slow the main general processing unit power because it doesnt effect the computers ram.
Sampling rate
The sampling rate defines the number of samples per unit of time when taken from a continues signal, the standard of samplin rate is 48,000 HZ and can rage up to 5.7 million HZ.
Display
Displays
Games consoles, computers, mobiles and hand held consoles all ouput information on to displays, these displays can be built in or external however external displays usually have higher graphical capability because built in displays have to take power consumption into consideration.

Memory
Memory
Computer devices and techmology all use memory for to store information on for files, programs and processes so they can be accessed quickly and effectiently, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 also use memory to speed up processing, performing task and generating graphics.
Random Acess Memory
RAM is used within devices to temporarily store data and within application processing, it allows the games console to store information such as a save game or processig information is fast accessing place. RAM is a volatile piece of technology therefore when the computer is turned off or looses power the memory held within this RAM is lost/forgotten the usual capacity of RAM found is from 3gb - gb.
Dynamic Ramdom Acess Memory
Dynamic Random Acess Memory is besically the same as RAM however is offers faster reaction speeds because it stores one bit of data in seperate capacitor wheareas the usually 4-6 capacitors needed.

Graphic Processor
Graphic Processor
A GPU is a graphical processing unit which is dedicated to the graphics, it is used to enhance and accelerate the building and manipulation of images to buffer in frame. GPU are found is hundreds of different technology systems such as mobiles, tablets, games consoles, hand-held’s, computers and laptops. Recently new computers and laptops have dedicated graphics built in so there isn’t a dedicated CPU and GPU but they are built together therefore they are far less powerful.
