In today's world where console gaming has become more and more advance each and every day, Sony Entertainment will soon launch the new high-end version of the Playstation 4, called the "Playstation 4 Neo," or simply "Playstation 4 Neo." With facts and rumors revealed about the new Sony console, here is what we know so far.
According to Sony Entertainment CEO, Andrew House, in an interview with the Financial Times, the "PS4 Neo" will support 4K resolution for better gaming graphics, and the cost of the high-end "Neo" will cost a tad bit more than the average $350 price tag of the Playstation 4.
A report from Giant Bomb reveals that the new "Playstation 4 Neo" will be a more powerful console than current ones on the market like the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. While the current Playstation 4 has a clock-speed of 1.6 GHz, the "Neo" boasts 2.1 GHz for a faster performance. For the "Neo's" graphics processor, it has an improved AMD GCN at 36 CU's at 911 MHz, a big upgrade from the current PS4's 18 CU's at 800 Mhz, and lastly, in terms of memory "Playstation 4 Neo" will have an 8GB RAM at 216 GB per second, better than the current Playstation's 8GB RAM and 176 GB per second.
The "Playstation 4 Neo" will still let players use older games from the older Playstation 4, albeit some major high-resolution difference, so this shouldn't be a worry for people who want to get the new "Neo" and not have enough money left for games, considering the hefty price tag that comes along with it.
IBT also notes that the "Playstation 4 Neo" will undoubtedly be paired with Sony's virtual reality hardware, and that it will be able to provide the best gaming experience ever. With that in mind, many are concerned that this will be the only reason for grabbing a "Playstation 4 Neo," and it will lose it's otherwise great value.
The "Playstation 4 Neo" will be unveiled for the public on September 7.
