So...
4-core AMD CPU
GPU around 1840 GFLOPS
2 GB RAM, could be 4 GB

Sounds reasonable. That would put Orbis more or less on par with Durango (less RAM but more powerful GPU) according to what some are saying.

THat article is pointing to a chip that isn't even in production yet. There is no way Sony will put a literally brand new design ($600+ APU) into the PS4. Its just not going to happen.

No APUs are priced at $600+. Even the best APU chips are designed for mainstream and the lower end of the performance sector. The design is also just an update of the existing Bulldozer architecture rather than a complete overhaul.

The article also states 3.2GHz which is very conservative for a current AMD chip. The soon to be released top of the line APU (A10 5800K) is clocked at 3.8GHz. If anything, it almost seems too conservative as they're going for a low clock speed quad core which is only capable of 1 thread per core when the rumours of the WiiU and NeXtBox suggest Power7 CPUs capable of 4 threads per core.
