PlayStation 4 - everything you need to k ...

If Microsoft is secretly readying a new Xbox to succeed the Xbox 360, then surely Sony must be working on a PlayStation 4? Speculation is rife that the next console battle will be fought around 2011-2012. This is when Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli and industry analyst Colin Sebastian believe that a potential Xbox 720 and PS4 could appear.Recycling PS3 for PS4To imagine what a PS4 might be capable of we should look at what the current PS3 doesn't have or doesn't do well. For starters, Sony will need to closely integrate the hardware and software development for its next console. According to SCEA's CEO Jack Tretton: ''The hardware guys developed the [PlayStation 3] fairly independently, then dumped it onto the software guy's lap, effectively saying 'do something with it.'''Considering that Sony spent around $3 billion developing the PS3, it seems likely that it will use an improved version of the Cell processor for a PS4. IBM has already released an improved version of the Cell for its blade servers. The PowerXCell 8i is a 65nm chip, with support for 32GB of DDR2 memory and eight fully-functional SPEs (compared to seven on the PS3).The advantage of recycling the Cell is that Sony could retain a familiar development environment and use existing code libraries. The modular design of the Cell architecture could also allow extra Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs) to be added to future chips. Twenty or more SPEs might be possible on a single 32nm Cell processor. And if increasing the on-chip SPEs isn't an option in the proposed 2011-2012 time frame, then a PS4 could incorporate multiple Cell chips. IBM's Cell roadmap includes a PowerXCell 32iv, which appears to feature four PPEs (Power Processor Elements) and 32 SPEs, ie four Cell chips running in parallel.More PlayStation 4 - everything you need to k ...
Are we going to have 4D graphics at 1080p with 120fps?!PlayStation 4 - everything you need to k ...
all i see is hardware that i dont understand, speak english dude
Maybe this one will be able to 4D, dual HDMI, and 1080p @ 120FPS.
Why more cells? It would make development even harder. Also, you can expect the launch price to be under $400. I think they've learned from the PS3.

NO! why does sony put blu ray in PS4(if they do) they are gonna fail again!
[QUOTE=''-Jiggles-'']Are we going to have 4D graphics at 1080p with 120fps?![/QUOTE] Hopefuly on 2 HDTVs too.
that truly is everything i ever need to know about ps4
There probably wont be a Playstation 4. PS3 is not selling as well as Sony expected and I don't think they care about games any more they will probably stick to movies and formats from now on. The Playstation name has fallen so even if Sony stays in the console race they will probably name their next console something new.
ps4 curing aids confirmed
Everyone knows it will have dual TEH CELL running so it can do 8D 240fps in 2160p!!!!
The larrabee will run circles around the cell not matter how many SPEs they put to that new chip,it will still have the same crippled architecture..
PS4 will have same power as PS3 but the dualshock will be changed to dualmote, it will be a motion sensitive controller which looks like a tv remote, PS4 console will be really small, it will not be a good gaming device because it will haz alot of shovelware, also it will have built in 2 gb Ram.
Makes sense. Sony isn't going to invest so much in the Cell just to drop it at the end of this gen, and they're not in a position to do anything particularly innovative (ie MS may do full installs/DD, Nintendo will need to build on the Wiimote etc.).

I'm not sure what would lead you to believe otherwise.

Cool, another p0waful cell which won't be properly used till 5 years into it's life!
