Details on PS4 Audio Processor (ACP)

VGLeaks: Mark Cerny confirmed in an interview that PlayStation 4 uses hardware expressly dedicated to audio tasks. What are the capabilities of this hardware? What is Sony telling to developers about it?

Hmm so both MS and Sony are using custom hardware to offload the stress from the CPU. MS's hardware is more custom as most of it is used for kinect. Either way good to see both consoles wouldn't be wasting cpu resources on processing audio.

How does this compare to XBO. Tech reply not fanboy reply please!

I don't know the answer but unless you have a great surround sound system it will not really matter.

most people have the sound coming from the tv they will never know the difference.

this question will help people like me that has a stand alone amp and surround sound set up tho.

A man will be using his pulse elite headset so he is very unconcerned about this, just interested

pwnsause_returns3863d ago

it just means that CPU resources are not wasted.

where as the PS3, where the cell processor was used to decode audio, here with the PS4, it has its own dedicated audio processor. it wont have to use the APU to decode audio. I guess thats what that means. so developers have more room to make their games.

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
