Sony PlayStation Four PS4 Technical Information
Izvor: KiWi
The Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox 1 will be the principal contenders in the next generation games console battle. With both machines as a consequence of launch in late 2013, Sony has now unveiled the full technical specifications of its newest console. In this very first of a two-part series we take a complete appear at the PS4's technical facts.
Processor (Key and Graphics)
At the heart of any console is the processor. The PS4 will use a unit manufactured by AMD which is based on a not-yet-released Computer item, codenamed Jaguar. The CPU (quick for central processing unit) will function eight low-power cores and will operate in conjunction with the Radeon based graphics processing unit, or GPU. The GPU capabilities 18 computing units, every single operating at 800MHz which, combined with the CPU, offers the PS4 with 1.84 TFLOPS of computing energy.
RAM (Ramdom Access Memory)
One of several standout numbers around the PlayStation 4's specification sheet is its 8GB of GDDR5 RAM. This high-end memory is high priced and is hardly ever made use of in this quantity, even in higher end Computer graphics cards that on their very own can expense as a lot as the PS4 is probably to cost. This makes it all of the a lot more impressive that it really is incorporated within the PS4. The inclusion of this level of RAM as regular is probably to future proof the console to a specific extent.
It remains to become noticed just how much in the RAM is necessary by the PS4 operating program. Based on encounter of current generation consoles and high finish gaming PC's, we would count on a maximum of 1GB to become required for this purpose, therefore leaving a substantial amount cost-free for PS4 game playing duties.
Internal Storage
Internal storage comes inside the kind of a 500GB 2.5-inch SATA standard mechanical difficult drive, pretty a rise from that in the PlayStation 3 which only had a 20GB challenging drive on launch. It should be stated although that the PS3 has gone by means of several versions since it was initial introduced in 2006 and the latest super slim models come which challenging drives ranging from 250GB to 500GB.
A plus point for the PS4 is that the difficult drive is user removable and upgradeable, therefore allowing larger capacity mechanical difficult drives to be installed. The current largest 2.5" difficult drive offered is 2TB or 2000GB (four occasions the size in the common drive) so assuming the operating program from the console allows it, the storage capacity of your technique is usually greatly expanded. There is certainly also the possibility of installing an SSD or strong state drive inside the PS4. While capacities are reduce than typical tough drives, access and information transfer speeds are much faster.
Optical Drive
The Sony PS4 will use an integrated 6x CAV Blu-ray drive having a maximum read speed of 27 MB/s. This compares favourably with all the PS3's 2x speed Blu-ray unit that was capped at just 9MB/s. Set cost-free of the PS3's throughput restrictions, the PS4 are going to be noticeably more rapidly at disc to challenging drive data transfer and will make initial game set up a lot faster, even taking into account the expected larger files sizes from the new generation games.
The drive will read and play Blu-ray discs, DVD's and CD's, though it is unlikely to be capable of reading the new quad-layer 100 GB capacity Blu-ray discs that happen to be developed to support 4k resolutions. This can be unlikely to be a problem because it is doubtful that the PS4 will help 4k output.
This concludes the first element of our look at the PS4's technical specification. In the second element we deal with the video and sound output, connectivity, the new DualShock four controller and the accessories offered for the next generation console.
