      As we did with Durango, it's time for Playstation 4 (Orbis), Sony's next generation machine and its specs: cpu, memory, ram, etc



      LIVERPOOL SOC

      Custom implementation of AMD Fusion APU Arquitecture (Accelerated Processing Unit)
      Provides good performance with low power consumtion
      Integrated CPU and GPU
      Considerably bigger and more powerful than AMD’s other APUs

      PU:

      Orbis contains eight Jaguar cores at 1.6 Ghz, arranged as two “clusters”
      Each cluster contains 4 cores and a shared 2MB L2 cache
      256-bit SIMD operations, 128-bit SIMD ALU
      SSE up to SSE4, as well as Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
      One hardware thread per core
      Decodes, executes and retires at up to two intructions/cycle
      Out of order execution
      Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each)
      Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance
      102.4 GFlops for system



      GPU:

      GPU is based on AMD’s “R10XX” (Southern Islands) architecture
      DirectX 11.1+ feature set
      Liverpool is an enhanced version of the architecture
      18 Compute Units (CUs)
      Hardware balanced at 14 CUs
      Shared 512 KB of read/write L2 cache
      800 Mhz
      1.843 Tflops, 922 GigaOps/s
      Dual shader engines
      18 texture units
      8 Render backends

      UPDATE: some people is confused about the GPU, here you have more info about it:

      Each CU contains dedicated:

      - ALU (32 64-bit operations per cycle)

      - Texture Unit

      - L1 data cache

      - Local data share (LDS)

      About 14 + 4 balance:

      - 4 additional CUs (410 Gflops) “extra” ALU as resource for compute

      - Minor boost if used for rendering

      Dual Shader Engines:

      - 1.6 billion triangles/s, 1.6 billion vertices/s

      18 Texture units

      - 56 billion bilinear texture reads/s

      - Can utilize full memory bandwith

      8 Render backends:

      - 32 color ops/cycle

      - 128 depth ops/cycle

      - Can utilize full memory bandwith



      Memory:

      4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s
      3.5 available to games (estimate)



      Storage:

      - High speed Blu-ray drive

      single layer (25 GB) or dual layer (50 GB) discs
      Partial constant angular velocity (PCAV)
      Outer half of disc 6x (27 MB/s)
      Inner half varies, 3.3x to 6x



      - Internal mass storage

      One SKU at launch: 500 GB HDD
      There may also be a Flash drive SKU in the future



      Networking:

      1 Gb/s Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WIFI, and Bluetooth



      Peripherals:

      Evolved Dualshock controller
      Dual Camera
      Move controller



      Extra:

      Audio Processor (ACP)
      Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
      Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
      Zlib Decompression Hardware

      Each CU contains dedicated:

      - ALU (32 64-bit operations per cycle)

      - Texture Unit

      - L1 data cache

      - Local data share (LDS)

      About 14 + 4 balance:

      - Can utilize full memory bandwith

      8 Render backends:

      - 32 color ops/cycle

      - 128 depth ops/cycle

      - Can utilize full memory bandwith

          Excited to see what it can do. Sony always goes big with the technical specs.
          I want you to tell me who you are in your dreams. Who is there? And is it beautiful like music?

            Especially the first games on it or watch a technical demo.

              dead space 3 out in 2 days, anyone else picking this up? best buy and amazon have the $20 credits up so for $40 i'm in.

              always loved the dead space games and the multiplayer component the last time around was a blast. loved playing all those little aliens.

                i can't believe he is getting payed for this shit. is he even trying anymore?

                “They’ll be able to put a lot more characters on the screen and allow for hyperrealistic games,” Pachter said.

                Sony’s new console will feature graphics chips developed by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and processors capable of rendering games at 240 frames per second, Pachter said. Current-generation games typically render at 30 or 60 frames per second. As with past model changes, Sony will continue to produce and sell the almost 7-year-old PlayStation 3." - michael pachter

                technically, yes it could render @ 240 but not close to maxed out. what the hell is his point? it will come with a pair of artificial eyes? i would assume this is about sony's 240hz (which is actually to begin with 120hz per eye but x2 for 3d = bullshit) tv's refreshing @ 60fps @ 3d @ x2 (multiplayer) = 240fps but still wtf?

                or wait...playstation 4D!?! kutaragi finnaly got what he wanted ;)

                  Does anyone else here play Awesomenauts? (it's like a mix between dota and contra)
                  I'm a rank 2 if you wanna hit me up.

                    Main thing I'm looking forward to picking up is Metal Gear Rising.

                        A friend give me Devil May Cry 4 (PC). For an 2008 game, the visual is very nice. I'm not used to play beat'them all but I'm really enjoying this one.

                          DMC 5 was out not long ago! Much improved graphic and more reasonable story line! Probably the best in the series so far. However in terms of the style,the DMC3 was the best

                            Agree. DMC 3 was amazing and so fucking difficult at times. It seems as if previous DMC games had much faster gameplay. Attacks are slower in this new version. I haven´t played the whole game yet, I´m actually going to the post to pic it up tomorrow but I was satisfied with the demo. I don´t really care much that they changed dante´s looks, compared to most a big fanbase that´s going crazy because of that.

                              The younger Dante does look a bit award when you first start to play it, however it somehow helped the viewer to get a more holistic image of Dante as a person.
