256GB storage sounds like SSD because HDD aren't sold in that size. That would be awesome.
So Orbis is at least five times stronger than PC? Or are we talking post-King Kai training?
Yummy.
Did nobody tell Sony that only 0.000002% of the world use Ethernet?!
I'll happily pay for the right kit.
You meant 4-8 in the final,right?
- modified PC doesn't mean that A10 is the final CPU/APU in the PS4
- Based on A10 means the potential for lots of customisation therefore don't read too much into that specifically
- 256GB suggests SSD but thats a bit SSD and would be too expensive.
APU probably wouldn't have enough oomph for next gen graphics. So you want a dedicated GPU still (hopefully).
The GPU part of the APU can be used for other things, much like CELL did this gen. Either physx style stuff, or possibly post processing/AA etc. Basically offloading stuff from the CPU
If it ain't PS3 compatible, I ain't buying.
If its backward compatible with PS3 games , thats a bigger win for me.
I´m pretty sure he isn´t talking about current gen graphics in 1080p/60fps.

A mid range pc plays current gen games at 1080 p and 60 fps =)

yeah, neither am I. Played on a PC lately?
The dev kits have either 8Gb or 16Gb of RAM. Deduce from that what you will.
My "mid range" PC from 3 years ago plays Dishonored (a game that just came out) at 1080p 60FPS with 4xAA and 8x AF
(Phenom 2 3 core unlocked to 4 core, AMD HD5770 graphics card).
So I'd be content with a current mid-level PC as far as graphics capabilities are concerned.
Yeah and 99% of the games are basically 360/PS3 ports with better iq.

x86 cpu
16GB ram in devkits
YES!
Devs know x86, no more weird (but powerful) POWERPC stuff. Awesome.
Look at how powerful the xbox 1 was compared to the competition.
Better IQ, better textures, better effects yep.
I don't even care about 30/60 fps, it's the shit 720p resolution that's the problem. Low-res textures, poor image quality, blurriness, this is all part of the res. 1080p standard is so important for these next-gen consoles, I really hope they come through in that regard. I want to get back into consoles, haven't since PS2, but I can't imagine playing 720p again after glorious 1080p on my monitor.
While it's not near 99% (he was exaggerating to make a point), the majority of the best and AAA games are indeed console up-ports. There are some great exclusives like D3, the entire moba genre, MMOs like GW2, but the majority of the AAA games are ports. I love my PC but this is a fact, and it's also exactly why we should all be hoping PS4 and the next Xbox are very powerful.So that's a no then.
Dev kits tend to have more RAM than the retail versions. I doubt we'll see more than 4GB of RAM on the PS4
A bit yeah, but nothing groundbreaking, and definitely nothing that i would call next gen.
Yeah because that´s the important part of new hardware, playing old games.
so maybe I'm misunderstanding, but basically we are talking a "super" integrated chip here, with built in GPU? Sounds to me like it might be more affordable right?
1080p60 in 3D is not happening on an A10 by itself. An A10 by itself will struggle in 1080p period.
If there's another GPU involved it will make a ton more sense.
Edit: And yes, I know it's not final specs.
8Gb = 1GB
There are 8 bits in one byte.
If these specs are true, this is around WiiU level.
1080p is no good without suitable textures. I'd rather have 720p with high res textures, than 1080p with low res ones.

Well Im part of that percentage, and I think alot of people who play online prefer a wired connection over wifi if at all possible.Did nobody tell Sony that only 0.000002% of the world use Ethernet?!
It is to me. Are you telling me I'm wrong?
I'm just not as into games as I once was and don't want to have to start all over again.
