Rumor: Ps4k

[Xevross]

Also the only solution to this PS4k situation is obviously to stop buying all Sony first party games and to buy a NX, cause we sure as hell know that Nintendo is above mid-generation hardware upgrades....

That's a good point actually. If the PS4k turns out like the rumours then its not as bad for the fans and people who bought the original as the new 3DS was.

Sony will always be better than Nintendo at hardware.

Hell, all signs are pointing towards Nintendo currently being well on their way towards completely killing the Wii U and I mean actually killing not the way Sony is "killing" the PS4 by the end of the year and that system is only 1 year older than the PS4. Sure it's because the Wii U is a flop, but who's to say that the NX won't be and that Nintendo won't be pulling the plug equally fast in that situation? To be screaming for Nintendo as the saviour in this situation is just stupid.

Legit.

I like the name Neo.

Sony sure likes the matrix

PS4 -> Orbis  

PS4 + PSV = Circle of Life
PS4k + PSVR = The Matrix

That's actually something I've pointed out in forums and comment sections elsewhere. Nintendo is straight up replacing the Wii U within 4 years on the market. No one seems to care. Sony might be releasing an optional improved version of the PS4 over 3 years after the launch of PS4 and people are losing their minds?

So how much does this rumour line up with the Blackosiris one? In terms of specs?

This rumor says 4.2TF GPU with 30% increase clock of CPU.

The other was more than twice GPU power and Sony was looking to increase CPU performance.

Well 1.84TF to 4.2TF is more than twice GPU power.

I guess both said the same thing.

If Sony releases a 4tf machine, they might as well just make a PS5...

NeoGAF - View Single Post -  Digital Foundry: PS4K / Neo spec leak is genuine, dev kits on their way to devs

Sony is now openly sharing this specification with developers and while Giant Bomb beat us to the punch, we have access to the same documentation. There is no doubt - this is real. This is the new, more powerful PlayStation 4.

 

The release window is unclear, but the schedule for hardware roll-out to developers is black and white: development kits prototype are on their way to studios now. A test kit (debug station, if you like) housed within a non-final chassis - which Sony is asking developers not to show - follows shortly. A second-gen test kit, again not based on the actual retail shell, goes out in June. Sony gives more intensive Neo briefings at its DevCon event in in May, while code submission for Neo-compatible titles begins in August.

 

Well, according to Sony's own documents, there is a focus on delivering 4K gaming content, though upscaling to UHD resolution is likely. Owners of 1080p screens can expect benefits too, explicitly stated as: Higher frame-rates More stable frame-rates Improved graphics fidelity Additional graphics features

 

There's also no indication at all that any of the functionality found in PlayStation VR's external processing box will make its way into the Neo hardware, nor is there any mention at all that Neo will benefit PSVR, though we would expect that the same base/Neo spec differentiation will apply to those titles just as they would to any PS4 game. On top of that, while the documentation says that the hard drive will remain the same (Sony has several in circulation, so we assume it means 2.5-inch laptop drives generally) there are no indications of any changes to the Blu-ray drive. This is surprising, as we would have assumed that Sony would take this opportunity to support the new UHD 4K movie standard, supporting standard 50GB discs along with 66GB and 100GB variants. For now it seems that developers are set to stick with 50GB of storage.

 

Developers have the ability to add Neo support to their existing PlayStation 4 titles coming out in September via a day one patch, while dual base/Neo supported titles are expected to arrive from October onwards. Sony isn't telling developers when the unit will actually launch and states that it's perfectly OK with Neo-compatible titles shipping before the actual hardware. Either the platform holder is playing its cards close to its chest or else the firm itself simply isn't clear when it plans to launch the kit.

I'm feel it's almost time to remove the rumor tag. This is almost as worst than the psvr leaks.

I expect at least 10TF from a PS5 machine.

Eurogamer aren't in a position to confirm anything as true here though.
