Because it uses the same AMD APU as the X1, but with a slightly better gpu supposedly...

If X1 is having yield issues with its APU, PS4 would be in the same boat.

They are not being produced by same vendor. AMD helped design the APU... not fabricating it.

I dont get it...are you saying AMD didny design the PS4 APU and that they are not manufacturing it using Global Foundries?

They're similar but have a different executions that are down to each companies own designers from what I've read AMD probably just provided the base component, I'll quote it below on the XBO design.


That is an interesting perspective. It certanly sounds possible that Microsoft may have some yield issues if this is true...

It does paint both AMD and Microsoft teams that worked on this as a bunch of fools compared to Sony which makes me doubt the whole story. But I dont have information to say yay or nay...
