***** DO NOT START ANOTHER CONSOLE VS PC DEBATE AGAIN! THIS IS PURELY PS4 SPECULATION!! *****

It all started with this article http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-26-sony-is-working-on-playstation-4
Which was maybe put out to combat the rumours of the next consoles from MS and Nintendo.

Here are some utterly ridiculous concept pictures to start with:

There's no chance it'll look like that.

I want it to have a decent controller and cross game chat. Then i'll be happy.

Don't hotlink.

Can a moderator give him a warning please?

As for the concept - I can't see it being workable:
*no shoulder buttons on controller or place for the battery
*the actual console doesn't really have anywhere for the components to go.

It looks nice but that's it.
 
I would be interested in knowing what CPU and especially GPU is used in PS4 and also if it is backward compatible with PS3 games. But I guess that will mainly depends upon PS4 continuing to use cell or enhanced version of cell CPU.
 
I would think it'll use a modified version of the Cell. I can't see Sony spending as much as they did on it just to dump it now.
 
I think it will be the Cell processor but in an advanced and this time complete form. As the PS3's version of the Cell and emotion engine ended up crippled in the end.

So I can imagine they want to get it right this time
 
ahhh concept designs 1 or 2 machines built like that and thats that.

waits for the chip to hype about....

Emotion Engine....
Cell.....

Would Cell cpu clock speed be increased further from the current 3.2GHz?

I was reading that Sony initially intended to have Cell at 4Ghz but due to some constraints, they could only have [email protected].

As it currently stands and as we know that it has one PPE which acts as a general purpose core cpu and is mainly used for managing and controlling the 7 SPEs. If they do go ahead with enhanced Cell, is the microarchitecture going to significantly change perhaps having 2 PPEs and 14-16 SPEs?:cool:

Edit: I also hope that Ram is increased siginificantly to atleast 4GB from the current 512MB.

Will some people on this forum actually expect my name to change when it comes out - it does worry me thats the first impression formed - its not like leet speak is still cool anyway :eek:...

WTF does the PS4 have a golf visor? I presume those are unofficial mockups - too crap to be anything else...

EDIT: Wonder if theyll move away from XMB? I quite like it myself. Suits the target demographic.

ps3ud0 :cool:

According to reports the PS4 will receive less investment than the PS3 received.

This is blindingly obvious, they invested in a new architecture with the PS3 and their stated plan was to create a framework that they could merely scale up without large investment into R&D.

They also couldn't afford to spend similar amounts on R&D this time around anyway.
