Hi guys
Now lets look at the actual machine, as you may know the actually machine wasn't shown at the event but we did get some specs for it, I don't know very much about the insides of computers, but I will try to tell you a bit about each part and compare it to the PS3. First I will show you the video of the announcement and the specs that came with it. All copyright belongs to their respective owners.
Let me also show you a picture of the specs laid out in a nice format.
As you can see, there is a super charged PC architecture, then there is a X86 CPU, which from what I have heard is from a high end computer, also from a high end computer is the enhanced PC CPU, the combo of those 2 is what will be the driving force behind the PS4. Then you have 8 GB of unified memory, or RAM, while the PS3 only had 256 Mb of RAM, which means that the PS4 will have 3.2 times the RAM and therefore the power of the PS3. Then you have the usual local storage which just means that you will still have memory of your system, all your data won't be stored on a cloud. No figures were mentioned as to how much local storage, but I would guess at 500 Gb and 1 Tb options will be available. 1 Tb(Terabyte) is 1000GB. Although we were only given a release window for Holiday 2013, when Activision came on stage, they said that they wanted to have their biggest brands available for the launch of the PS4. By biggest brands they mean the likes of CoD, we all know that CoDs are launched in early November so, I would say it will be released from November 1st to November 15th. As I said earlier there was no physical PS4 shown of but we know what will be inside the box.
That's all we know about the machine for now but more will be announced at the GDC in late March, and loads of info at E3 this year which is in early-mid June, so watch out for those.
Thats all for now guys, as always thanks for reading.
