In exclusive we have the detailed first specs (not final) for PS4, most likely first alpha kits sent to developers:

TLDR SPECS

CPU

•  4 core (2 core pairs) 3.2 GHz AMD x86 (Steamroller)
•  aggregate, 10x PS3 PPU performance
•  512 KByte L2 per core pair
•  64 bit pointers

GPU

• AMD R10x series GPU @ 800 MHz (Tahiti)

•  aggregate 10x RSX performance, 1.84 TFlops

• DX”11.5″
• cheap branching
• 18 compute units, focus on fine grained compute & tessellation

MEMORY:

• 2 GByte UMA, pushing for 4 GByte
• 192 GByte/ sec non-coherent access for e.g. GPU
• 12 GByte/ sec coherent access for CPU
• >50% longer memory latency for CPU/ GPU compared to PC!!!
• DXT is lowest bpp texture compression format

MEDIA:

• 50 GByte BD drive
• PCAV, between 3.3 and 8x BD, most likely clamped to 6x
• automatic background caching to HDD
• HDD SKU with at least 380 GByte
• downloadable games

EXTRA HARDWARE:

• video encoder/ decoder
• audio processing unit, ~200 concurrent MP3 streams
• HW zlib decompressor

Our source claims that the final specs should be 10x powerful than PS3, due to this info has got 10 months.

That sucks.

And that is exactly why we need to wait until HOLIDAY 2014, and no sooner, so that we have a chance to get a 3 Teraflop GPU......something along the lines of an ATI 7950 or 7970.

 

The best things come to those who wait.
