So the big reveal last night of PS4 happened. While over all I was underwhelmed and the presentation as a whole was bad, we did receive some official specs of the PS4. Surely enough, they were mostly on par with the leaks we've seen previously.
[TD="width: 213"]Playstation 4[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]CPU Architecture[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]x64[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]x86[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]CPU[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]AMD “Jaguar”, 8 cores[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]GPU[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]1.2 TFLOPS, Custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]1.84 TFLOPS, AMD next-generation Radeon based graphics engine[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Memory[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]GDDR5 8GB[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Hard Disk Drive[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Built-in[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Built-in[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Optical Drive[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Blu-ray Disc drive 6xCAV[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Network[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Gigabit Ethernet
Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct[/TD]
[TD="width: 213"]Communication Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T)
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth? 2.1 (EDR)[/TD]
Also if we go by leaks, the NextBox would also have:
- 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s)
- from the GPU’s perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec
So over all, the PS4 looks to be more capable and with the new DDR5 of memory, would have more bandwidth and perhaps a better GPU. However, someone points out that the ESRAM being parallel to GPU, this could provide a bump for the NextBox to be nearly as capable as the PS4.
So at this point, I hope the leaked specs of the nextbox are legit or wrong in the sense that the real specs give it a slight edge.
