Following its next-gen Xbox leak (all rumors, of course), video game leaks website VGLeaks has posted what it claims are the specs for PlayStation 4, all “subject to change in the future by Sony.” Find the details below.
Liverpool SOC
- Custom implementation of AMD Fusion APU Architecture (Accelerated Processing Unit)
- Provides good performance with low power consumption
- Integrated CPU and GPU
- Considerably bigger and more powerful than AMD’s other APUs
CPU
- 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 instructions/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
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
- Bluetooth
Peripherals
- Evolved DualShock controller
- Dual Camera
- Move controller
Extra
- Audio Processor (ACP)
- Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
