Does it really have 8gb GDDR5? Wouldn't that be obscenely expensive? |
Yes and unneccessary. Although it sounds really nice and it is an enthusiast's dream, the price will be unnecessarily inflated with not that big of a jump in performance since the GPU and CPU are frankly just average.

how do you know this, i doubt sony is stupid, they wouldn't be throwing moiney away like that unless there was a huge benefit.

Well based on their early decisions with the ps3, the ps vita, their poor marketing I would consider Sony to be somewhat "stupid." If Sony wants to launch at $400-$500 and have 8gb GDDR5 and not lose $200-$300 on each unit sold then it will have an average CPU/GPU. They will probably go with the rumored 8 core amd and a 7850 equivalent.

Make that a 7850m equivalent. No way they gonna put a 130 watt GPU in there. The 7800 GTX on which the RSX was based had a TDP of 81 Watts.
