MC2 Post 1526 The Playstation 4 Conference in NY --



After The Show Details  from PC Perpectives.

(Update 2: Press conference was over a few hours ago, and we now have an official press release.)

The Playstation 4, as it will be titled, is very similar to a mid-range gaming PC. When discussing with developers, they requested for Sony to stick with a typical x86-based architecture.

Of course that does not stop Sony from describing it as a “Supercharged PC architecture”. Still, they do seem to have quite a decent amount of hardware in this box.

    8-core x86 CPU
    2 Teraflops GPU integrated on same die (update: chip).
    I did not hear AMD mentioned, but it totally is.
    8GB GDDR5 RAM (shared)
    Stereo Camera on the controller with a light bar, like the Wii, to judge distance to TV.
    Also touch sensor in the controller.
    (Update/correction: At least a ...) Spindle-based Hard Drive

PlayStation 4 console: Why the Box 
Doesn't Matter.

From:  http://www.slashgear.com


This week Sony unveiled the essence of the PlayStation 4 with glimpses of

both the controller you’ll be using and the new Eye camera that’ll come

with it, skipping the part where you actually see the final hardware. But we

know the specifications of the actual PlayStation 4 console unit, and we

know how we’re going to use it – so what’s the big deal? The big deal is

Sony’s complete dismissal of the modern eyes-on presentation that the

public expects here in 2013 – without something I can literally hold in my

hands, the PlayStation 4 may as well be vaporware.
