We don’t know squat about what the PS4 will look like since it didn’t make an appearance at Sony’s two-hour long press event last night, but we’ve learned a lot about what it’ll be like when it finally shows up. And now, we know it’s going to have AMD innards.
As expected, the PS4 will be running on an APU—a combo CPU and graphics processor rolled into one. And that APU, an AMD joint, is a mash-up of an 8-core x86-64 AMD “Jaguar,” and a 1.84 teraflop AMD Radeon-based graphics engine. Paired with the PS4′s 8 GB of RAM, you can look forward to some pretty serious horsepower but the downside, of course, is that that x86 architecture is responsible for the lack of “native” backward compatibility for PS3 games.
The APU is described as “semi-custom,” so it may not be entirely exclusive to the PS4. We’ll have to wait and see what the next Xbox is reppin’. But in the meantime, it looks like the PS4 has taken some pretty good first-shots in this new theatre of console-war. Now let’s just see that box.

I haven’t seen that film, but yes a much more appropriate clip, especially the response!

Are you from the future?
He couldn’t reply as he had to return to the future and a world of sad Sony execs mourning their sucky games. Poor guy.

the reason i am more excited about what xbox 720 has to offer was because of the success of them this gen, their online experience was a lot better than psn

They haven’t announced any games.
Looks pretty nippy.
Should make emulation easier then i won’t need to buy one.
as much as itd be nice if that were true its not, i dont think there are even any xbox 1 emulators yet and that was just a pentium 3 733mhz and a geforce 3, a pc in a plastic box basically.
Quite funny we had one Gizmodo article predicting the PS4′s internals to be cr*p and basically slagging the console to the ground based on internet rumours and now it’s been detailed we have one on how blazing fast it is.. .
