The Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox A single will be the primary contenders in the next generation games console battle. With each machines on account of launch in late 2013, Sony has now unveiled the full technical specifications of its newest console. Within this initial of a two-part series we take a complete look at the PS4's technical facts.

Processor (Principal and Graphics)

At the heart of any console may be the processor. The PS4 will use a unit manufactured by AMD that is primarily based on a not-yet-released Computer solution, codenamed Jaguar. The CPU (short for central processing unit) will function eight low-power cores and will operate in conjunction using the Radeon based graphics processing unit, or GPU. The GPU capabilities 18 computing units, each running at 800MHz which, combined with the CPU, gives the PS4 with 1.84 TFLOPS of computing power.

RAM (Ramdom Access Memory)

One of the standout numbers on the PlayStation 4's specification sheet is its 8GB of GDDR5 RAM. This high-end memory is highly-priced and is rarely made use of in this quantity, even in high end Computer graphics cards that on their very own can price as a lot because the PS4 is likely to cost. This tends to make it all the more impressive that it can be incorporated within the PS4. The inclusion of this degree of RAM as normal is most likely to future proof the console to a specific extent.

It remains to become noticed how much on the RAM is needed by the PS4 operating program. Based on practical experience of current generation consoles and high finish gaming PC's, we would anticipate a maximum of 1GB to be necessary for this objective, hence leaving a substantial quantity free for PS4 game playing duties.

Internal Storage

Internal storage comes within the form of a 500GB 2.5-inch SATA traditional mechanical difficult drive, fairly an increase from that of your PlayStation three which only had a 20GB difficult drive on launch. It has to be stated although that the PS3 has gone by means of a number of versions given that it was first 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 really hard drive is user removable and upgradeable, therefore permitting bigger capacity mechanical challenging drives to be installed. The existing largest two.5" hard drive accessible is 2TB or 2000GB (4 occasions the size of your normal drive) so assuming the operating program with the console allows it, the storage capacity with the method might be drastically expanded. There is certainly also the possibility of installing an SSD or solid state drive within the PS4. While capacities are lower than regular challenging drives, access and data transfer speeds are considerably more quickly.

Optical Drive

The Sony PS4 will use an integrated 6x CAV Blu-ray drive using a maximum study 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 absolutely free with the PS3's throughput restrictions, the PS4 will probably be noticeably more quickly at disc to challenging drive data transfer and can make initial game set up much quicker, even taking into account the anticipated bigger files sizes with the new generation games.

The drive will study and play Blu-ray discs, DVD's and CD's, while it really is unlikely to be capable of reading the new quad-layer 100 GB capacity Blu-ray discs which are made to support 4k resolutions. This really is unlikely to become an issue since it is doubtful that the PS4 will assistance 4k output.

This concludes the initial element of our look in the PS4's technical specification. Inside the second aspect we take care of the video and sound output, connectivity, the new DualShock 4 controller plus the accessories out there for the following generation console.
