No it isn't. That stuff goes to people currently developing for PS4, it  changes nothing in our PS4s.


Yes it does. Our ps4 has a operating system that uses two cores and has code based on that hardware specs, and with the change in the sdk the PS4 OS has to be updated. Every time the OS reserved hardware is "changed" a firmware has to be instaled.

It depends on how Sony has reserved the 2 cores. For all we know the OS has always used one core and they left the other for the future if the need came up. It is possible that devs just need to use the 7th core and that no firmware would be needed.
