Forums - Sony - PlayStation 4 & AMD Desktop Kaveri APU both feature the Onion + HSA memory Bus

AMD new Kaveri APU features the same Onion+ Bus found in the PlayStation 4. So it's pretty safe to say PlayStation 4 APU is Heterogeneous System Architecture.

Kaveri HSA Architecture

It is odd that people so easily forget that AMD specifically cited the advances Sony had made and that it would inform their future technology.

AMD will use the same tech to design the PS4 APU on PCs. Devs will code for both in equal way.

Nothing new because Sony helped to develop the HSA.

Wasn't the PS4 confirmed to have HSA, even if it wasn't specifically called a vegetable? I thought I read somewhere that the CPU and GPU wouldn't have to wait on data being used by the other. Or was that just speculation?



So PS4 has the Garlic and onions secret sauce, was this the info that was the cause of AMD's recent NDA expiration?



Onion and garlic, got it.

Still, it's cool Sony is using the newest tech available, it's just not high end like it used to in the past generations.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
