The current source I am inclined to believe based on track record says PS4 is Spring 2014, AMD CPU+GPU.


Except that America is the largest market for video game HOME consoles, and Home consoles only launch during the holidays in America (Sept - December).

 

They never launch during the spring.

So it's either HOliday 2013.....or HOliday 2014.

We will see. He was by far the first to say that all 3 next-gen consoles will be AMD.

1.  Who's he?

2.  The GPUs of all 3 manufacterers are going to be from AMD.....but Not the CPUs...IBM's still doing the CPU's of Nintendo and Microsoft's upcoming consoles.

 

3.  We've known this for a long time.....so again, Who's he?

Here is where he said every console GPU will be AMD, in 2009:

Here is where he said one of the PS4 and XB3 will be all-AMD, March 2011:

(he had said at the same time Nintendo would be a slightly improved Wii, upclocked IBM CPU core and new AMD GPU, which turned out to be true as we know)

Here's where he says XB3 will be all-AMD. In May 2011 he said MS was deciding between an IBM Power CPU and an AMD one, hence also confirming that he knew PS4 was all-AMD in at least March 2011.
