About the memory I found something interesting...

Form the 4.6GB at least 600MB is not to use from memory... it is supposed the be streaming directly from HDD (like dialogs) but Guerrilha is using a pool in memory... than can change in final build.

And about the CPU the guys in B3D are saying that the devkit was running at 1.6Ghz and Killzone using 6 threads... that information was analysing the profile output.


All streaming engines I know of use a pool in memory for streamed content, it's basically a cache for the in use files. You can manually tweak the pool sizes in ini files for Unreal engine games on PC.

I wonder if the PS4 has 2 cores locked for OS and background tasks. They used one SPE in the PS3 but the PS4 is doing a lot more demanding stuff in the background. 

A lot of that demanding stuff is actually being done by a separate CPU (The video processor).  A single jaguar core will do more than an SPU, unless it's calculations, so one should be more than enough (Though I'm talking out of my ass here).
