They did it with the CELL (hell they practically had it designed the entire architecture for the PS3) and more recently with the Vita which was the first SGX543MP4. Also Steamroller is due early 2013 so given a late 2013 or early 2014 release date it won't exactly be brand new. Aditionally 4 cores will be at the low end of the Steamroller APU line, plus even today you can get a quad core APU for $120US where are you getting $600 from?

XDR2 hasn't even been licenced for manufacturing yet you used a rumour that listed it.

There are plenty of reasons to doubt the rumour you don't have to make shit up...

Also why havn't you updated bassed on the latest Wii U rumours? 

I thought I did update it with the latest Wii U rumors? Which one did I miss?

As for PS4, I will update it with this rumor as well (just didn't have the time yesterday), however, I still don't see them going cutting edge again.

1) Initial rumors showed they were not.

2) It caused massive losses for PS3.

3) It has forced Vita to be too expensive and so far a failing device.

While I have always said I think they'd bump up from where the specs were originally at, I don't think it will be to 2013 tech.

I also don't think I made anything up. If you are referring to the $600 price... that's what a brand new APU or GPU costs (and I'm being low-end with that). So that's what a brand new 2013 APU would cost to put in a PS4.


In regard to the latest WiiU specs, I thought it was a 3-core PowerPC IBM processor and 1.5gb of total RAM (clock speeds were not given) and the GPU was listed as AMD r7xx which is likely a ~4770 based.
