Support NeoGAF

[sangreal]

wasn't that 176G/s bandwidth basically made up here on GAF a few days ago after someone suggested the 192G/s is an old figure or something? this article sounds fishy imo

someone on gaf (BruceLeeRoy?) said they got that number from their source, yes

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

read the hundred page threads that already assumed these exact specs, right down to memory bandwidth.



probably the best you can expect from a profitable console under $400 in 2013.

What makes you think it will be under $400 and profitable?

Extra:

Audio Processor (ACP)
Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
Zlib Decompression Hardware

?

Other than the DCE (I have no idea what that is) those other functions can be done by the PE.

 

[Chamber]

One SKU? Thank you.

Yeah, it is. Prepare for the explosion.

OT but who is this dude?

Well, this time they will have a proper scaler.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Perfect.

Sub-$400 is not happening.

 

[michaelius]

Peripherals:

Evolved Dualshock controller
Dual Camera
Move controller

Yuck. I guess they want some of that fitness market which Nintendo left on the table by making wiimotes optional in Wii U.

Noticed that myself. Everything coming full circle now. Price point will be interesting on this thing as well.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I will not believe that Sony isn't using BDXL. They're promoting 4K like it's the next big thing. Either that or it'll be using H.265 will help compress the video (which doesn't make sense when the whole idea of 4K and blu-ray is avoiding excessive compression?).

 

[McHuj]

8 ROPS? Am I reading that right? WTF?

 

[Pie and Beans]

Heaven help us all when Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica reveal what they're birthing for this beast. Eyes will be melted.

 

[Red Blaster]

One SKU? Thank you.



OT but who is this dude?

Pete Sampras

 

[Visualante2]

what? Who said that all comes with it.

Nobody but it's a pretty important question. If they don't go standard, why bother? Move hasn't set the world on fire like Kinect has.

 

[Wiz]

Sounds good and all, but I just want to see some legit next gen games run on these beasts.

 

[evangd007]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

Wii U: Yamcha
Orbis: Krillin
Durango: Chiaotzu

 

[iamshadowlark]

What makes you think it will be under $400 and profitable?

Thats about a $400 machine.

 

[LukasTaves]

8 ROPs sounds a little on the low side, specially with all that bandwidth...

Hardware balanced for 14 CUs also got me intrigued. Were they targeting 14 CU for graphics, tuned to whole system to that number and put another 4CUs for compute non graphic stuff?

Or 4CUs are reserved for whatever?

 

[ghst]

I'm pretty sure it's beastly. But let me guess, something something high end PCs something something years ago something something.

if the xbox 360 is the established barometer for a powerful console at launch, a 2013 equivalent would be packing a GPU edging on 3Tflops.

What makes you think it will be under $400 and profitable?

the CPU is a couple of underclocked netbook chips tied together, the GPU was distinctly midrange 18 months before the console is supposed to launch, single unified memory pool means no dealing with multiple buses.

i'm sure it'll punch above it's weight, but it's a very conservative and streamlined effort on the hardware front. the anti-PS3.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

One SKU? Thank you.



OT but who is this dude?

Serbian Tennis player Novak Djokovic.

 

[SolidSnakex]

GT should be their showpiece whenever this thing is unveiled. Just like with GT2000 on the PS2.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Nobody but it's a pretty important question. If they don't go standard, why bother? Move hasn't set the world on fire like Kinect has.

yeah kinect games are flying off the shelves...............

It's all about future proofing.

 

[JoeFenix]

Specs sound good but I REALLY want BC to happen.

They need to have a solution, I want one console that can run PS1 PS2 PS3 and PS4 games.

 

[Kun Aguero]

I don't believe for one minute that Sony is shipping with Dual Shock 4, Move and a Kinect style camera.

Neither do I. DS4 and that will be it, apart from bundle's.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Move? Do NOT want!

Then don't buy it?

 

[TheContact]

okay but are the developers going to have an easy time making games for it or will it be like last gen where the ps3 port was usually inferior to the 360 port

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Evolved Dualshock controller

Oh boy, so waggle as standard?

 

[TheMink]

Wii U = Kaioken

PS4 = SS2

Spoiler

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>_>

<_<

Ahem.

 

[phosphor112]

These aren't final.

 

[Somnid]

Seems in line with previous leaks, I guess it's pretty legit.

The main pitfalls I see are priced too high, poor BC scenario and third parties not taking Sony's new inputs into account while Sony first party devs aren't enough to make them worthwhile.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

So, what's new in those specs?

 

[Pistolero]

8 ROPS? Am I reading that right? WTF?

Same here...Don't know what to think of it...

 

[Maxrunner]

Yuck. I guess they want some of that fitness market which Nintendo left on the table by making wiimotes optional in Wii U.

Too bad that market target wont buy a 500€ console for fitness...

 

[Quazar]

Directx 11.1?

 

[stalker]

Pete Sampras

Joking?

 

[ThisWreckage]

I'm worried that both Kinect 2.0 and Move 2.0 are going to raise the prices of these consoles. Ugh.

 

[Verendus]

All I know is that people will question reality when GT6 is unveiled.

 

[curlycare]

And the sauce??

Secret.

 

[Boss Man]

Now that we have VGLeaks reveals for both consoles, the true shitfest may begin.

[acm2000]

so its basically identical to durango? only different being ram set up, of which both have advantages and disadvantages

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

GT should be their showpiece whenever this thing is unveiled. Just like with GT2000 on the PS2.

I hope we don't get something like the PS3 demo. That was underwhelming....

 

[gl0w]

Just read over the specs again. Damn, this thing sounds like a monster.

Sony first party will surely dominate next gen.

THIS

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Thats about a $400 machine.

Because that's how it works.

 

[Reiko]

:9

Yum.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

It will be mine. No matter the price.

 

[sangreal]

so its basically identical to durango? only different being ram set up, of which both have advantages and disadvantages

different GPUs

 

[Dance Inferno]

Joking?

Obviously.

It's Andre Agassi.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Kudos. 2TFLOP in a box achieved, even if barely. Sad to see the APU rumors didnt exactly pan out the way I hoped. I do hope that the fast bandwidth and context-switching between the GPU and CPU of the Liverpool SOC enable things not previously possible.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Specs sound good but I REALLY want BC to happen.

They need to have a solution, I want one console that can run PS1 PS2 PS3 and PS4 games.

I'm guessing they'd have the BC flash drive they patented. Pretty good solution though. I think the 1 SKU they'd sell won't have the BC and the BC Flash drive will be optional.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

so its basically identical to durango? only different being ram set up, of which both have advantages and disadvantages

the GPU is stronger

 

[Amagon]

I believe it when I see it.
