serversurfer said:The dev kit that went out in January 2013 had four, dual-core Bulldozer CPUs, 8GB RAM, 2.2GB VRAM, and an A10 GPU. That was the final of three pre-release dev kits they sent out, ~ten months before launch, and the hardware was entirely unlike the real PS4. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Dev...ita,20660.html
I don't believe that article was completely correct about that: http://vgleaks.com/orbis-devkits-roadmaptypes/
Toms Hardware describe the "Initial 1" dev kit (don't know what they mean about A10?) which according to VGLeaks went out July 2012.
The SoC based dev kit went out in January 2013 and we even got a picture of it here at GAF in January 2013:
I'd imagine the confusion stems from devs with launch window games getting the SoC based dev kit first while devs developing games for later release still getting the earlier kit.
