V-Tech Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sony proudly showed off its PlayStation 4 hardware for the first time at E3, and now we're getting a peek at what developers are working with this generation thanks to the FCC. A DUH-D1000AA Development Kit for PS4 prototype is listed in these documents, thanks to its support for Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi. As one would expect, the diagrams show it eschews the sleekness of the consumer model for extra cooling, a shape made for rack mounts plus extra indicator lights and ports (USB and Ethernet.) Also of note is a "max clock speed" listing of 2.75GHz, and although we don't know what the game system will normally run it's interesting to hear what that 8-core AMD Jaguar silicon may be capable of, all while maintaining a temperature between 5 and 35 degrees celsius. Hit the link below to check out the documents for yourself, after this and the system's controller all we're left waiting for is Mark Cerny's baby. http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/16/sony-ps4-development-kit-fcc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Cool stuff. Regarding the clock speed stuff, it makes me wonder if those amd cpus use a form of turbo boost to ramp up clock speed on some cores when others are idle. Since the X1 also uses this cpu, it should be interesting to see if they are both used in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
