What would be the point?  

How big of an improvement would this be? 

Were you a psp guy?

PSP had a similar thing happen. It was done by different means, but it was still a mid-gen graphics upgrade. Here's the results from that: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/11/god-of-war-222mhz-versus-333mhz/

What about the diminishing returns, though? Haven't read the article yet, but it sounds too much like misterxmedia to me.

Didn't PS3 had a mid gen improvements to hardware as well, like smaller OS RAM footprint and one SPU unlocked?

It's nothing like misterxmedia at all.  

 

The PS3 did have improvements.  Uncharted 2 was made with less than 400 MB of RAM, because that is all they had available.  While TLoU was probably made with at least 70 MB more RAM.  

I don't believe the SPU was ever unlocked no.  

ahh so it's simply the secondary ARM chip, the title had me suspicious, but it's no discovery since it was announced and of course the Gb instead of GB which I never pay attention to.

Yeah so I have no idea what Joe is talking about, at best the PS4.0 in the "full game mode" has an additional power of 256MB of DDR3 RAM and a small, most probably low clocked ARM chip. Where is the gain in that? Or what I am missing?
