Retrogaming

“They’ll be able to put a lot more characters on the screen and allow for hyperrealistic games,” Pachter said.

Sony’s new console will feature graphics chips developed by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and processors capable of rendering games at 240 frames per second, Pachter said. Current-generation games typically render at 30 or 60 frames per second. As with past model changes, Sony will continue to produce and sell the almost 7-year-old PlayStation 3.

LIVERPOOL SOC

Custom implementation of AMD Fusion APU Arquitecture (Accelerated Processing Unit)
Provides good performance with low power consumtion
Integrated CPU and GPU
Considerably bigger and more powerful than AMD’s other APUs

CPU:

- Orbis contains eight Jaguar cores at 1.6 Ghz, arranged as two “clusters”
-Each cluster contains 4 cores and a shared 2MB L2 cache
-256-bit SIMD operations, 128-bit SIMD ALU
-SSE up to SSE4, as well as Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
-One hardware thread per core
-Decodes, executes and retires at up to two intructions/cycle
-Out of order execution
-Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each)
-Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance
-102.4 GFlops for system



GPU:

-GPU is based on AMD’s “R10XX” (Southern Islands) architecture
-DirectX 11.1+ feature set
-Liverpool is an enhanced version of the architecture
-18 Compute Units (CUs)
-Hardware balanced at 14 CUs
-Shared 512 KB of read/write L2 cache
-800 Mhz
-1.843 Tflops, 922 GigaOps/s
-Dual shader engines
-18 texture units
-8 Render backends



Memory:

-4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s
-3.5 available to games (estimate)



Storage:

- High speed Blu-ray drive
single layer (25 GB) or dual layer (50 GB) discs
Partial constant angular velocity (PCAV)
Outer half of disc 6x (27 MB/s)
Inner half varies, 3.3x to 6x

- Internal mass storage
One SKU at launch: 500 GB HDD
There may also be a Flash drive SKU in the future



Networking:

1 Gb/s Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WIFI, and Bluetooth



Peripherals:

Evolved Dualshock controller
Dual Camera
Move controller



Extra:

Audio Processor (ACP)
Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
Zlib Decompression Hardware



UPDATE: some people is confused about the GPU, here you have more info about it:

Each CU contains dedicated:

- ALU (32 64-bit operations per cycle)
- Texture Unit
- L1 data cache
- Local data share (LDS)

About 14 + 4 balance:

- 4 additional CUs (410 Gflops) “extra” ALU as resource for compute
- Minor boost if used for rendering

Dual Shader Engines:

- 1.6 billion triangles/s, 1.6 billion vertices/s
18 Texture units

- 56 billion bilinear texture reads/s
- Can utilize full memory bandwith

8 Render backends:

- 32 color ops/cycle
- 128 depth ops/cycle

- Can utilize full memory bandwith

New DualShock

New pad redesign, same size.
Touchpad in the center. Forget the Select, PS and Start buttons.
Touchpad created with the same technology that the rear Vita’s touchpad.
Save 15 min of your activity. System will save your last 15 min. No processing penalty according the source.
Share button: Allows the player to take screenshots or videos. Save them in your HDD or share online.

Un aparato de procesamiento de imágenes, una unidad de captación de imagen toma imágenes de un objeto, incluyendo la cara de una persona que lleve unas gafas por las que pueda observar una imagen estereoscópica compuesta por una imagen de paralaje primeria y una imagen secundaria de paralaje obtenida cuando el objeto en un espacio de tres dimensiones (3D) es observado desde diferentes puntos de vista. Una unidad de identificación de gafas detecta las gafas incluidas en la imagen del objeto tomado por la unidad de captación de imagen. Un detector de caras detecta una región facial de la cara de la persona incluida en la imagen del objeto tomado por la unidad de captación de imagen, basándose en la zona de gafas identificada por la unidad de identificación de las gafas. Una unidad de realidad aumentada de representación especial añade una característica virtual a la región facial de la cara de la persona detectada por el detector de caras.
