Discussing PS4 hardware and manufacturing price

3rd Revision

Processor:

AMD Steamroller APU

The CELL processor will stay on board for BC. (Maybe for the first 2 or 3 years)

Ram:

2GB DDR3 1600MHz for the APU [1GB dedicated to OS and multimedia/multitasking applications] 1GB will be available for developers.

GPU

AMD Radeon HD7850 derived GPU with 2GB GDDR5
Integrated GPU in APU to be next gen?


Bluray drive

BD drive will stay but will be the latest (speed). Installations will be optional.


Storage

Sony should go flash. (16Gb?) This would bring down costs and since installations would be optional, it would be completely up to the consumer if he/she wants to purchase an HDD.


PS4 manufacturing to cost maybe $400. PS4 to retail at $400; break even or small loss.
It will also need to launch with Killzone "4" and Uncharted "4" as it would be a perfect way to market the PS"4".
Gran Turismo 6 would also be needed.

With the latest rumor, I may be right :D

Except the above GPU is starting to seem ridiculous to me. Sony will have to go for something else to make the machine affordable.

GPU

Custom embedded AMD Sea Islands GPU (crossfire possibility perhaps)

 

^Seems more likely.
