Simply yes. Far better textures and maps will probably be a prime result. Of course caching to make loading faster and open worlds contain more details and be more seamless is also a good use. Even more memory for better sound is nice (no more excuses for racing games to sound like a vacuum cleaner imho)
Yeah, I still think that $430 price point is very doable. And the $30 bump is very palatable given the RAM bump.

Yeah, true - oh well, we'll have to see.
I'm not putting it past MS that they're not happy with Battle.net running on Durango, making Blizzard go exclusive with Sony (prob along with some other incentives).
Much like Valve with Steam on PS3.

Blizzard now on GT. Pretty much saying that Diablo III won't be PS exclusive.

dead hyperlink.
4350 doesnt have gddr5. Look at a 6850 or something with gddr5 at a reasonable speed.

Ya... probably just exclusive content or some kind of special treatment.

8 core jaguar, BD drive, 1.84 TF GPU
No idea what they text says other than that, 18 CUs mentioned I believe on page one, but we knew that.

The PS4 system architecture is distinguished by its high performance and ease of
development. PS4 is centered around a powerful custom chip that contains eight x86-64 cores
and a state of the art graphics processor.
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has been enhanced in a number of ways,
principally to allow for easier use of the GPU for general purpose computing (GPGPU) such as
physics simulation. The GPU contains a unified array of 18 compute units, which collectively
generate 1.84 Teraflops of processing power that can freely be applied to graphics, simulation
tasks, or some mixture of the two.
PS4 is equipped with 8 GB of unified system memory, easing game creation and
increasing the richness of content achievable on the platform. GDDR5 is used for this memory,
giving the system 176 GB/second of bandwidth and providing a further boost to graphics
performance.

Yeah, the Drive is much cheaper. I didn't even think about that or even include that.
The graphics chip is still powerful at 1.8 TF and the memory is the most expensive and it's not going to be PS3 $600, but it will probably be around $500 something or slightly higher. I can't see it being much lower than $500 and that is not going to be taking over the market in this economy.
So, while I think Killzone was sweet, I think the PS4 isjust too expensive for most people in this economy. So, they are still making the same mistake as the PS3.

So unified 18 CUs? Not split 14+4?
It's a good thing I didn't have anything in my mouth when I read this or my PC would have been covered with it. Well done sir, still chuckling.
搭載されている18個のコンピュートユニットは全体で1.84テラフロップスの演算能
力を有し、その性能をグラフィック機能やコンピューティング機能、またはその二つに自由に割り当てることが可能です。
Translate: 18 CUs free to dedicate to graphics or compute efforts as devs like.
14+4 seems to be out the window.
In the paper it also says that live streaming is not limited to Ustream.
Expected, twitch and ustream and other stuff all take FMLE/Xsplit/OBS so I wouldn't be surprised.

Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the controller in hand.
Woot headset with every console. Love the 3.5mm headphone jack! Man the really have gone all out.
