PS4 is AMD CPU+GPU. Charlie is completely certain on this but I guess it is still a rumour site.

I did wonder if one of the console manufacturers were going down the Fusion route (although it sounds like they'll keep them seperate at first). It just seems to make sense for a console. Should keep PC developers happy too as they'll have their X86 architecture and perhaps lead to better optimised PC games on Bulldozer/Piledriver based systems.

I'm also a bit surprised though. I thought X86 had certain bottlenecks which is why the console devs generally stayed away.



X86 is not a good choice also you get way more bang for your buck in a Power 7 . I am pretty sure they wont use x86 cant see the advantage here.
