PS4 Specs Surface. But Are They Real? |
Listed in: Rumors Tags: ps4 cpu, ps4 hardware, ps4 media, ps4 rumors
According to a website by the name of VGleaks.com, they have got their hands on what they say are the hardware specs for the upcoming PS4 or at least an early version that was sent to developers. As usual without a statement from Sony we have to take this with a grain of salt as it could just be nothing at all, but that wouldn't make for a good story so let’s take a look at these details so you can decide for yourself if it’s the real thing.
In exclusive we have the detailed first specs (not final) for PS4, most likely first alpha kits sent to developers:
TLDR SPECS
CPU
- 4 core (2 core pairs) 3.2 GHz AMD x86 (Steamroller)
- aggregate, 10x PS3 PPU performance
- 512 KByte L2 per core pair
- 64 bit pointers
GPU
- AMD R10x series GPU @ 800 MHz (Tahiti)
- aggregate 10x RSX performance, 1.84 TFlops
- DX”11.5″
- cheap branching
- 18 compute units, focus on fine grained compute & tessellation
MEMORY:
- 2 GByte UMA, pushing for 4 GByte
- 192 GByte/ sec non-coherent access for e.g. GPU
- 12 GByte/ sec coherent access for CPU
- >50% longer memory latency for CPU/ GPU compared to PC!!!
- DXT is lowest bpp texture compression format
MEDIA:
- 50 GByte BD drive
- PCAV, between 3.3 and 8x BD, most likely clamped to 6x
- automatic background caching to HDD
- HDD SKU with at least 380 GByte
- downloadable games
EXTRA HARDWARE:
- video encoder/ decoder
- audio processing unit, ~200 concurrent MP3 streams
- HW zlib decompressor
Our source claims that the final specs should be 10x powerful than PS3, due to this info has got 10 months.
What do you think? Real, partially real or totally fake?

Well
More Memory
Another CPU
Another GPU
Will be an good idea, i will like so much if this be an another Fake.
That other old Rumor was more good, or if.
Their Use one IBM CPU ou INTEL Ivy can turn more costumers to buy PS3.

Say goodbye to backward compatibility on PS4 then.

I'm all for it - anything that is easier for developers means that they spend more time on the story / graphics / fun stuff in games, instead of figuring out how to make the hardware do what they want it to.

Imagine the problems the Xbox720 would have with overheating, the Xbox360's were bad enough, if it wasn't overheating, the disc drives always stopped reading the sodding disc's.
I never bothered getting another machine after the 3rd one broke down on me.

All I had to do was a Whois on the website and it's some scrub kid in Barcelona with fake news. There was another guy like this ass who was a "editor" (pah!) at N4G.
Seriously, how can you take these folks seriously when all they do is register a cheap .com and don't even hide their credentials? The only source is themselves and they don't even establish where the info came from!!
Okay here's the whois info. It's freely available so Im not breaking any rules sharing it:

Won't be buying any newer consoles if the only thing that they'll improve is graphics and whatnot.

FYI, people, this has come from some random Spanish kid who purchased a cheap 1 year .com address and only has himself as a source with no credible footing in the gaming industry. This is simply up on this website to create traffic and it's likely the person that published this story knows this but wants hits anyway.

Oh, and no more backwards compatibility, since there's no way anyone, even sony, could write an interpreter or recompiler for ps3 emulation, with those specs!

Its probobly like this. The developers get a compiler, and sony say to them to use this specific computer to simulate a PS4.
This say, it rather seen as a lower bit, rather than a total specification.
50GB BD, very unlikly, but its the lowers possible specification.
The choice of a APU might be strange. But think about a APU is a CPU & a GPU. The CPU is very simular to what the PPE is on the PS3, and the GPU is very similar to what the SPE is on the PS3.
Sharing L2 cache the architecture is extreamly simular to that of cell. Using OpenCL it can be used exactly the same.
The SPE is 128 but the APU-GPU is only 32 bit. But there clustered in ha 4 by 4 pipe emulating 128bit. The SPE is 3.2Ghz of speed, the APU-GPU is only about 700-1000Mhz. But where the PS3 have only 7 (6 usable) the APU-GPU in PS4 will probobly have around 400. Making the total power around 5 times faster.
Thats not a lot but its probably more than needed for most applications.
