t will be a game changing system, and in word of Sony exec, Andrew House, the PS4 will be the “most powerful platform ever” and will allow “worlds to come alive with greater fidelity and intensity than ever before”.

With an impressive 8GB DDR5 memory, the PS4 has a highly enhanced PC GPU which contains a unified array of 18 compute units which will generate 1.84 teraflops of processing power that can be applyed to graphics, simulation tasks, or a mixture of the two. In other words, the processor is revolutionary for console gaming and will allocate its resources depending on system and user needs.
