PS4 8 Core CPU To Run At 2.75Ghz

[TechFan@ic]

The FCC certification for the PS4 revealed some interesting info regarding the game console, one being that the maximum operating frequency for the CPU will be at 2.75Ghz, which is significantly higher than the previously rumored 1.6Ghz.

 

Operating temperatures for the PS4 are between 5-35 degrees centigrade/Celsius which are quite a bit lower than the PS3, meaning users will need to make sure to run the PS4 in a relatively cool room to avoid damage.

The weight of the device has also been revealed to be at 2.8KG which is significantly lighter than the first PS3.

1.6GHz will be base clock, 2.75GHz will be the boost.

 

At least my theory.

 

Also, the PS4 will weigh 6lbs!? Holy Shit.

What will it be made of? Styrofoam?

EChondo beat you to posting this new info about the PS4.  Glad to see people are so fast to post news though.

35 degrees c? That's extremely low. I would hope they would be boosting up the clock speeds. 1.8 to 2.75 would be a pretty big difference in cpu power though. Was the 1.8 ever confirmed or people just assumed it would be running at that.

6kg so like 13-14lb

35 degrees is pretty good when the cpu is on load. Probably it down clocks to the base clock when all the cores are on load and boost clocks when only one or two cores are on load.

lol, max 35 degree room temp. I'm pretty sure someone's going to make a watercooling kit for sure. This thing is not going to work in South East Asia :/

Game consoles are historically extremely consistent in performance - that's why it's hard to do things like die shrinks without breaking game compatibility. I doubt it'll have a temperature/TDP based "dynamic" boost clock like what we see in PCs for this reason, since developers tend to target the hardware and a specific frame rate very exactly.

The document says 2.8kg.

Hopefully someone does, I'd like to try it out this time around.

Ah I was looking at the dev kit. That's pretty light than.
