PS4 dev kits use AMD A10 derivative

Good for AMD if it is true:

It could probably have a better GPU though. There was noise of it being close to HD7850 level,although I am not sure if it will turn out true TBH!

Even if they threw a conventional GPU/CPU set up, I'd never expect it to be 7850 level, so I doubt that's true, if it were, I'm pretty sure AMD would be suiting Trinity with it now.

To be honest, I'd be surprised if its raw power was any better than current A10 stuff, because it wouldn't make much sense.
Can't help but feel we're going to have another 7 years of poor console ports.

The other rumour was that there were two GPUs. So a custom A10, with the GPU section of an HD7750, together with another HD7750 on the motherboard,would probably be closer to HD7850 level too.

When the xbox 360 came out in 2005 it had a something like a 3.2ghz 3 core 6 thread processor.

8 years later and the best they can do is an A10 seems poor effort.

IBM Xenon uses in-order cores.
