It's a typo, PS4 is 176GB/s.I would have liked the Jaguars to be clocked at 3.2 GHz and the GPU frequency clocked at 1200MHz. That additional RAM, does it suggest EDRAM? The bandwidth difference definitely suggests that, or perhaps they anticipate a further reduction to the OS footprint at the time of the NEO's release.
17 GB/sec for PS4 RAM? That doesn't sound right.
Sony seems committed to keeping the NEO and the original PS4 player bases connected. As such, there will be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not let developers separate NEO users from original PS4 players while playing on PSN. Likewise, Sony explicitly and repeatedly states that developers cannot offer exclusive gameplay options or special unlockables for NEO playersso dont expect NEO owners to get a level editor or a special Rocket League car that you wont have access to on your original PS4.
actually it says they want to keep the 2 CONNECTED and prevent devs from separating the online communities... Doesn't mean that they'll prevent 3rd party from going ps4 neo only, but who knows

That said, so long as both systems have the same feature, the NEO can run an improved version. A local co-op game that features four players on the base PS4 could offer an eight player co-op mode on the NEO, for instance. But again, don't expect those differences to transfer to online modes.
So if the Neo will improve performance, won't that put PS4 users at a disadvantage in competitive online games?
This may be significant ignorance on my behalf, but why is Sony making this console?
It makes little sense to think that publishers aren't going to prioritize on the standard PS4 version considering the massive install base. They're not idiots.
The end of "buy it and you're set" consoles as we know it.
I hate this. If I wanted to join the technological power rat race I'd just get into PC gaming.

"Neo Mode" better mean 1080p/60fps for every fucking game! No more bullshit. this should have been the standard for the reg PS4.
IF this happens then day fucking 0.
Same for Dark Souls 3.
Then I just need a Demons/DK1 remaster and I can die happy.
So developers "must" support NEO mode? They can't just make a base PS4 game with no modifications and have it run on NEO?
3.7So if the PS4 is 1.84 TFlops, how many TFlops is NEO?
PS4 Base and NEO versions of a game will also need to have parity with regard to peripheral support. So dont expect NEO Games to have exclusive VR modes. Sony makes no mention of PlayStation VR in the docs we've seen, so it's hard to know what that means for the persistent rumors that this upgraded PS4 will be able to support PSVR without the "breakout box" that the headset ships with. That said, so long as the NEO's upgrades apply to PSVR games, developers should be able to get even more performance out of Sony's VR headset.
But Sony will incentivise good OG PS4 optimisation so that people can still get a good experience and won't feel the need to upgrade!There was 10x more last gen systems out when we got hit with all the cross-gen games when the PS4/Bone gen began. Take a look at how garbage the last gen versions were optimized.
Am I missing something or is that one tame-ass "upgrade"? Like, 30 FPS instead of 25FPS not 60 FPS instead of 30 FPS.I don't even see the point, should be media-only if it's going to be so minor.

So Sony is prohibiting anyone from releasing "neo" exclusive stuff. Ppl can calm down now lol
This is terrible though. I hope incremental upgrade doesn't become a thing with consoles but who am I kidding, it will be because if you want the best of the best when it comes to consoles, you're going with the best. I do have a PC as well but I'm talking about when you want to play the best looking version of a exclusive console game.
Pretty much. This gen is JUST getting started and we're seeing some really nice, well optimised titles for PS4/XB1. I really think this will impact PS4 momentum.
1. Would the NEO version only really have resolution and framerate improvements. Can't imagine there would be new textures or assets on the same disc.
