Very interesting, would definitely be affordable for a $400 launch of the NEO.

Can't wait to pick one up!

PS4neo will probably be close to scorpio in features and capabilities.

2306*2*0.911 = 4.2 Tflops. (PS4 neo)
2306*2*1.2 = 5.5 Tflops. (normal RX 480 for pc) (which could be what the scorpio has)

^ this is most likely the differnce.

It should be more than twice the GPU power so most likely a [usually] stable 1080p60fps on PS4 Neo for all new PS4 games. Possibly also upscaled to UHD (thus still native 1080p) internally on the PS4 Neo. That's all it is about after all, the OS will be identical.

Thats quite the jump then really for the GPU if true. The only issue is, the small bump rumoured for PS4K CPU is going to be an even bigger bottleneck this time round no?

Not really. The CPU bottleneck depends on the resolution. The higher the resolution, the more GPU power is used, hence the lower bottleneck the CPU can produce. So in 1080p the difference may not be big against the current PS4, but in 4K the difference will be outrageous.

So Neo will run a low clocked version of the RX 480 :)
Thats still pretty good news.

Very low clocked. By the specs, the 480 is going to have around 5.5TFlops and it's performance should be a little over the 390.

If rumors are to be considered, the PS4Neo has 4.something TFlops, but that's the whole system, not only the GPU. So basically the GPU is cut down in half. Talk about a low clocked version!

The PS4 CPU is around 100 Jigaflopz so the GPU is still around 4TF.

AMD announced a 199$ GPU that can compete with a GTX 980 witch cost around 500$+

Its low price could very well mean that they will be in the new consoles. This is great news.

This also means they re useing a cheap chip with high power effeciency.

At 14nm FinFET this chip clocked at 911mhz probably wont generate all that much heat.
The 1200mhz+ version of the RX 480 is probably around 135watts (with a 150w limit)
At 911mhz clock speed, it ll be under 100watts for the GPU.

The chasis for the PS4 might not have to change too much.
Basically the new PS4 neo could end up looking much like the older model (same small form factor).

Was there any speculation about Sony utilizing a semi custom version of the 480? Because while the OG Ps4 architecture was structured after AMD Pitcairn, there were features not available in the retail version found on PC. Wondering if Sony applied the same practice here

Yeah, that's correct, less power consumption as well. A more silent PS4, then. And cheaper electricity bills.

Didn't AMD also say something about working with Sony to include some of the changes in their own chips?

The PS5 Exists.
