The specs have already been confirmed. Eat crow. I was right, leaks were right. Are you ready to apologize?

How much RAM does the PS4 have to access games, do you know? and what's a Bluray Drive 6xCAV? I know it's 6 speed, but what's CAV? They should have gone faster, don't bluray drives go like 12x and over in terms of read speed?

Rumors point to 7GB for games. Sony has yet to confirm it but it seems likely that's what it will be.
About the Blu-Ray drive.  http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/214141-DVD-Writer-vs-Recorder-CAV-vs-CLV

"CLV = speed of disc rotation is changed to maintain a constant transfer rate from the inner most to outer most edge of the disc.


CAV = Speed of disc rotation is constant, thus the transfer rate is slowest towards the inner edge, while it is the fastest at the outer edge.

P-CAV = a combination of CAV and CLV.

Z-CLV = the disc is divided into " CLV zones" each of which are written to at a constant speed. For example, a 12x write might be divided into 6x, 8x, 10x, and 12x zones.

Z-CLV can be slow, I have heard of instances where a 16X Z-CLV burn took longer than a 12x CAV."


Discs are read from the inside out, right? What does this mean for the PS4, that it's using a slow drive like the PS3? Well, depending on which part of the disc it's reading? I never really got this, lol.

PS4 disc drive is much faster than that of the PS3. That's all you really need to know. The specifics really aren't that important.
PS3 reads the disc at 2X, PS4 at 6X.
