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/

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?

If I wanted to do non-gaming stuff I would buy an XB1.

edit: actually I wouldnt, I would use my PC instead.

You do broach the subject of a definite problem, the fact that this gen, unlike last gen, both consoles released with specs substantially below that of the best PC's, meaning that if this generation is long, PC graphics will be even further ahead by the end of the generation than they were last time (and now that Steam is battling for people's living rooms with the Steam Machine, that's a definite problem). There's also the fact that mobile graphics are evolving faster and faster, upcoming mobile chips are already as powerful as the 360 and PS3, mobile could catch the Xbox One and PS4 as early as 2017. That leaves Microsoft and Sony with a tough choice to make, make this generation as short as console generations used to be (5 years tops), meaning less total sales over the course of the generation and many dissapointed customers annoyed that they bought an expensive console which now can't play the latest games, or trying to come up with a method to extend the life of the consoles. Microsoft seems to be heavily focusing on the cloud to enhance the longevity of the Xbox One, they're gambling that internet connections will improve enough in the coming years for most consumers to be able to experience cloud enhanced graphics. Sony on the other hand hasn't revealed much about their approach, will they attempt to extend longevity with the cloud, will they introduce small hardware upgrades like you're suggesting, or will they introduce the PS5 by 2017-2018?

It's not that the secondary chip is used for the game, but that the chip is used for absolutely everything but the game. Basically 100% of the CPU, GPU, and RAM are given for the game to use.
