They won't make it in time man ^_^; AMD hasn't even shown similar designs in anyway. Maybe the next one, analysts that predict the 8th gen being the last gen are retarded because they have no idea how far ahead tech will be past the 2015 point.


as Kasz216 said I am talking about a slim redesign maybe in 5 years time

 

 

 


I see, I think they won't do it just based on design principles, if you look at the PS3 super slim, even though they have tidied it up quiet a lot, it's more of a shrunk than a redesign and I'm not expecting them to introduce actual new tech for the PS4 once it's finalized hardware.


Its not actually something new, just a rearangement of components. Seeing as Sony used 2.5D stacking in the Vita its not that far fetched.

And I have to emphasize how much money could be saved, its Billions over years. And  it ensures pricecuts for all consumers.

 

Smaller and less complex motherboard smaller power supply smaller  boxes cheaper and less DDR3 modules.

Sony took out CPU GPU RAM in the PS3 within 12 months and changed the motherboard massively, they will take every possible way to cut production costs and the Ram is the most expensive part.

Sony will use it and probably planned that years ago. It makes no sense not to do it its probably part of the whole PS4 design philosophy from the start. GDDR5 seems like a temporary solution until 3D stacked Ram becomes a proven technology. Stacking Ram will replace all of Ram everywhere not just Graphicards but all devices, its the superior way to use ram. Its not a question of If but when Ram stacking becomes standard.

If they can make it cheap enough in time PS4 will have it and ofcourse everything else too. Not stacking Ram has no advantage (Unless your cooling sucks). 

It'd actually be AMD's part to redesign the silicon to work in that way and come up with new cooling, they might do it for their newer videos cards but I don't think the APU configuration will change drastically in the next 5 years once the "fixed" hardware factor is in, that's just how consoles are and there is nothing wrong with that.
