Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) Inc announced the overview of the "PlayStation 4 (PS4)," a next-generation stationary game console, in February 2013. We interviewed Mark Cerney, Lead System Architect on PlayStation 4, SCE, on the philosophy with which the machine was designed.
good read, had a lot of info about the PS4 I didn't know
"The Single Chip Custom Processor," which SCE employed for the PS4, is equipped with eight "Jaguar" 64-bit CPUs"
I want to say this is a typo, but can you imagine; Eight "Jaguar" 64-bit CPUs stacked onto one die inside of a console?...
Heck if there were 8 "jaguar" 64-bit cpus within the PS4, then I'd say its definitely made with "Supercharged" PC parts!
**I know, its meant to be "8 core Jaguar 64-bit cpu"**
Igamer, best known by itroller, even if ps4 had a zx spectrum proco, youd Still put it sky high!
Have you been in coma for the last 10 years? Ps4 is average hw, and so Will next box,
Pc crushes,
have to say i'm very happy with the way Mark talks and thinks, for him the rise and fall of the PS4 will be very personal.

"However, in that case, we will make developers solve a puzzle, 'To realize the fastest operation, what data should be stored in which of the memories, the low-capacity eDRAM or the high-capacity external memory?'" he said. "We wanted to avoid such a situation. We put the highest priority on allowing developers to spend their time creating values for their games."

"We are claiming that our company is leading innovations," "And we certainly employed our own distinguished technologies for the PS4."
a very intelligent guy talking about the what he found to be of importance.
great read
"The reason why SCE employed the GDDR5 interface instead of the DDR3 interface, which is commonly used for the main memories of personal computers, was to solve the problem of memory bandwidth, which had been the biggest bottleneck, he said."
"We received very positive responses to the concept of 'Supercharged PC Architecture' from developers because we made a drastic improvement to performance and made it easy to develop games at the same time," said Cerney, who developed many games. "It is hardware for which games can be developed really easily."
"(Though it is a challenge in terms of cost and procurement,) we decided to offer a memory capacity of 8 Gbytes because of strong demand from developers," Cerney said. "We put priority on making a configuration that makes it easy for developers to create games so that many games will be made."
With Dev friendly tools & the ps4 architecture I love it because this will lead to more games & more exclusives. I bet we will see 3rd party exclusives on the ps4 aswell.
