Haven't we gone through this at least a hundred times (in your other thread).
The AMD A10 (rumoured in the PS4) has a non-gcn GPU. So in order to pseudo-crossfire it, you need another non-gcn separate GPU.
If they want to reach the promised 1080P 60Hz, the GPU in the A10 just won't get there so they need a separate (another word for separate it is distinct) GPU. If they add a more modern GPU to the PS4 to reach that goal (a.k. gcn architecture), they end up with content switching between two distinct gpus....
Oh my, I just wrote what the patent says... what an absolutely unexpected amazing surprise........ not
