Assuming there is one (which I believe is likely), then there are two scenarios

Upgraded PS3 scenario
Processor: They'll probably keep the Cell, most likely ramped up slightly, 3.5 Ghz, faster BUS and better bandwidth and all those numers.

RAM: The only significant improvement. Quite probably 2 GB

Disc Drive - Sony have upped the disk drive every generation. This time I don't think they will. Perhaps an 8x Blu Ray Player that is actually capable of reading the high capacity Blu Ray disks

Harddrive - will probably start at about 320 gb, maybe even more if conventional harddrives keep going the way they are going. Hopefully 7200 rpm as opposed to the 5400 rpm, which is fast becoming outdated

Graphics card - if they have 1 gb ram, it'll mostly likely be a 512 mb card. If it has 2 gb ram, it might even take a leaf out of the 360's book and share this with the graphics card


Reinventing the wheel scenario
Processsor - cell thrown out for something that gives more bang for your buck
RAM 2 gb
Disc Drive - that Blu Ray killer that was mentioned a few days ago - single layer is 25 gb, and is as cheap as dvd drives
harddrive - One model has a 320 gb harddrive, one has a 64 gb flash drive. Both allow swapping harddrives with laptops
