If it's as powerful as they say it will be then it could be a APU that will use AMD's Zen cores and the Artic Islands GPU that will use HBM2 in 2016. Maybe this is it: http://wccftech.com/amd-all...
If this is true then it definitely will be a beast that could hold its own against powerful gaming PC's.

I can tell no one here programs games for Android. Games are made using the JAVA programming language, geez people. JAVA does not go through API's because it is a language that is executed by a "virtual machine" that you install, which is the Java plugin. The beauty of this programming language is that I can just code once, and it will run on ANY device that has the Java plugin instead of going through the pain of having to recompile code to work on certain processors and video ...
Guys, cloud gaming DOES NOT EQUAL digital. Cloud gaming means no game software will be on the system AT ALL. All game data will be streamed to your device, much like a cable box that receives all the channels to send to the tv. Digital would mean that it executes on the hardware itself.
The bad part about this is that a server crash makes your "PS5 receiver" worthless pretty much. Now those hackers that hate Sony will just crash the servers to ruin everybody's ...
The irony is that if its cloud based then it is a PC. Servers are PC's. So technically you are no longer playing a console, but are playing a PC that is just streaming the game to you over the internet.
Steam games are not a rental, idiot. They are yours forever. I can play my games I purchased on any PC for the rest of my life. A rental means you cannot own it for the rest of your life.
This proves you are an idiot that knows nothing about PCs. The Latest Intel i7 gets well over 25,000 PPD on Folding at Home client where as the most you could get on the PS3's cell was 1000 to 1200 PPD. Therefore, the CELL processor is easily destroyed in performance by our modern day X86 processors in our PC's.
Sony would have screwed up if they went with the Cell processor this time. It is 2014, not 2006. Cell is weak now and even IBM stopped fooling around with it...
Now you consolers understand how we PC guys feel about receiving a console port of a game. About damn time.
Guess what?? Graphics quality is SUBJECTIVE. There is no scientific way to prove that the Uncharted games have better graphics. Sorry pal, but science is the truth, and no method has been established to define what is the best graphics. No cigar for you.........
ANNNNDDDDD that's why you are a one bubble peep because if you had bothered to research, then you would have realized that a WOMAN did this.................Fail is fail, and you definitely fit the definition.
Tell how does this comment of yours has ANYTHING to do with Battlefield 4? Are you an idiot?
Optimizations will still will not beat an HD7970. Even at poor optimization of say 75% usage, the HD7970 still pulls ahead of what is inside the consoles used at 100%. Raw power is raw power. You can afford to be wasteful and still come out on top. Take 75% of $1000 dollars and take 100% of $500 dollars. Even though you get 100% usage of $500 that still does not beat getting $750 out of $1000 dollars, even though you cannot get all the $1000.
Do you get what I am saying to ho...
An HD7970 still beats both consoles, even though no optimizations are used. The raw power is so high that even at 75% power level for the HD7970, that is still more than what the GPU can do inside these consoles at 100%. Remember that benchmarks show the FULL capability of the GPU's Look at those graphs again and then calculate the graph of the HD7970 at 75%. You will see that it will still be more powerful than the consoles.
PC gaming benchmarks push the video to the MAX. Ie what is it fully capable of. There is no need to account for the abstraction layer. In real world terms, the HD7970 can used up to 90% of its full ability with DirectX, which still puts in way above the power level of what the PS4 can do at 100% level with its GPU. Physics is physics. NO amount of optimization is going to fix that.
Are people really so stupid to think that these effects are not possible on pc???? Is that what everyone is arguing about on here? WOW! Serious lack of intelligence if people truly believe that.
I just wanted to say that programmers already get the most out of PC cpu's. X86 has been in use since the 1970's and it is taught at university computer programming classes. There is no more efficiency to be had for other types of software, only gaming will see the benefit because of the overhead from DirectX.
All API's do is allow programmers to take the lazy way out. If they bothered to use Intel's compiler or AMD's compiler then they would easily max o...

Hence, the reason I said above 1080P.
This demo shows how weak processors struggle and will need Mantle. If it was an i7 then it would not struggle with the DirectX version.
http://www.techspot.com/rev...
Also, keep in mind that once you start to go above 1080P, then the GPU will start to become the bottleneck instead of the CPU. So Mantle will have no benefit at higher resolutions sin...
Correction: Benefits PC's that have weak processors. You can look up the DirectX vs Mantle benchmarks and see that i7 processors gain very little performance with Mantle. All Mantle will do is give boost to weak processors to those who could not afford a $500 CPU. This will help gain them abilities to play games at better settings without needing a $500 CPU. So it will save on money mainly.
WRONG! Any i7 series from Intel will not have any issues with poorly optimized DirectX. This slowdown only affects weak processors like i5's or all of AMD's processors. Raw power is raw power. In fact with Mantle enabled, barely any performance gain is noticed on high end CPU's. That is because of the law of diminishing returns. This law cannot be violated or then science will be turned on its head. The more powerful something is, the less it is affected by optimizations or affect...
Instead of console versus PC arguments, it should be Intel vs AMD. Intel was the one that made PC gaming so expensive because they charged $1000 for a 6 core, 12 thread processor, until AMD came along with their Zen 2, 3000 series 8 core (16 thread) processors that DESTROY Intel's 10 core processors in performance at 1/4 the price!! And what is even crazier is that AMD has released a 12 core (3900X) series and 16 core MONSTER (3950X) that both cost less than $1000 and totally CRUSH Intel...
