Could you even fathom what PS4 will be capable of? I mean really, we are talking about FF the movie quality graphics in real time no doubt.

With racing games you would not be able to tell the difference between the game and real life, I suppose this might even happen with ps3.. Or DANGEROUSLY close to it.

A metal gear solid game that mimics FFTM graphics.. Really I just could not imagine it at all.

PS4 specs?

50TFLOPS total performance

10+Ghz Cell2 processor

4GB fastest RD ram

300GB hdd

300 billion polygons per second

God damn..

The HDD could be more then a Terrabyte... Some company would launch something like it next year... not sure, but it's coming

and why exactly would u need a Terabyte (with one R) HDD on your ps3? just curious.... i mean, even a 300GB HDD.... we're talking about PS3-4 here, not something u use as a professional workstation.... and if it has BlueRay, then my argument is even stronger...

qwerty2000 · Jun 5, 2003

why are we talknig about the ps4 if the ps3 hasnt come out yet if that they never released the specifications yet so lets get back on the topic please

London Geezer · Jun 5, 2003

new info is far away and we covered everything MANY TIMES... so...

Deepak · Jun 5, 2003

Evil_Cloud · Jun 5, 2003

notAFanB · Jun 5, 2003

8) yup, everything that can be speculated from patents or otherwise has been done to death anyhow.

The DRAM in PS3 will come from Elpida.

Elpida Memory Venture Expects to Raise 81.5 Bln Yen (Update2)
June 5 (Bloomberg) -- NEC Corp. and Hitachi Ltd.'s memory- chip venture expects to raise 81.5 billion yen ($687 million) this year, helping it boost production in a bid to be competitive with rivals such as South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.

The money, which includes a planned 12 billion yen investment from Intel Corp., will be used to increase capacity fivefold at Elpida Memory Inc.'s plant in Hiroshima, Japan, the company said in a news release distributed to reporters in Tokyo.

Money-losing Elpida needs to update its factories to compete with bigger rivals such as Samsung Electronics and Boise, Idaho- based Micron Technology Inc. Intel's investment helps the Santa Clara, California-based company ensure a steady supply of computer- memory chips able to work with its latest processors.

Elpida, Japan's sole manufacturer of dynamic random-access memory chips, plans to use the additional financing to help raise monthly production capacity to 15,000 wafers, the company said.

In addition to the Intel investment, Elpida announced this week that NEC and Hitachi will each invest 9.5 billion yen. Elpida's fundraising efforts could reach as much as 112.8 billion yen, President Yukio Sakamoto told reporters in Tokyo.

The latest round of fundraising is a precursor to a sale of shares to the public Elpida expects to occur late next year, Sakamoto said.

Profitability

Elpida has failed to make a profit since its establishment in 1999. Taiwan's Nanya Technology Corp., the world's fastest-growing memory-chip maker, overtook Elpida to become the industry's fifth- largest producer, according to market researcher Gartner Inc.

Samsung Electronics dominates the $15.5 billion memory-chip market with a 32 percent share, followed by Micron, South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor Inc., Germany's Infineon Technologies AG, Nanya and Elpida, according to Gartner's rankings.

Aided by the additional investment in capacity, Elpida expects sales to almost double to 110 billion yen this fiscal year from 65 billion yen last year, Sakamoto said.

In the year ending March 2005, sales could rise to as high as 290 billion yen, Sakamoto said.

In addition attracting investment, Elpida has held talks to buy NEC's Hiroshima memory-chip plant, which is now supplying the devices to the joint venture.

Separately, Elpida will supply computer-memory chips to Sony Corp. for use in that company's successor to the PlayStation 2 video-game console, Elpida Chief Operating Officer Shuichi Otsuka said in an interview.

I thought they would use Rambusram...

zurich · Jun 5, 2003

They will. The RDRAM in PS2 comes from Samsung (hence the rivalry), but it doesn't mean it couldn't come from Epilda.

Gandalf · Jun 5, 2003

Ahh, I forgot that in the meantime many companies produce RDRAM under license.

Saem · Jun 5, 2003

JVD went on vacation to the old country, IIRC.

In any case maybe there needs to be an additional mod, wouldn't be a bad idea.

And now back to the PS3.

Evil_Cloud · Jun 5, 2003

So what parts WILL be 100% for sure in PS3 (confirmed)
A list anyone?

qwerty2000 · Jun 5, 2003

zurich · Jun 5, 2003

Heh that TTT screen looks better than anything I've seen in DoA3 (the arguable graphics king of fighters this gen). Think you might want to substitute it with an actual screen cap

Paul · Jun 5, 2003

It is an actuall screen cap. Just that it's smaller so it loses it kinda gains a little quailty.

DOA looks better than it, big time.

Real sized, notice all the jaggies and all.

DOA looks way better than this TTT shot.

notAFanB · Jun 6, 2003

any ideads on input devices for this or are we gonna be stuck with dualshock for another 5 yrs?

megadrive0088 · Jun 6, 2003

Paul, hey that's a pretty cool Tekken comparasion.

two things, is the middle shot (the PS2 one) from the PS2 Tekken technical demo, or the actual game, i forget.

and also, could you use a picture of PS1 Kazuya instead of Heihachi for, so that we have PS1 Kazuka - PS2 Jin - possible PS3 Jin
(who all look similar)

just a suggestion
