The Playstation 4.5 looks to be a reality, according to sources.

Multiple sources are putting it out that Sony is really making a more powerful Playstation 4.  Digital Foundry has revealed it’s aware of the mid-generation refresh, that PlayStation R&D labs already have access to the hardware and that multiple sources are referring to it as PlayStation 4K. Here are three possibility’s for it:
 

More powerful PlayStation:

What we could expect from it:

  • An APU with a higher-end Polaris would push graphics on – a 2x performance boost in GPU power compared to PS4 is achievable in a console form-factor. Possibly more – we really need to see the desktop PC equivalent parts first.
  • By default, Polaris has support for 4K, HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 and HDR.
  • Console would not be cheap owing to the size of the processor – conceivably on par with PS4’s £359/$399 launch price.
  • Possibly higher depending on how much Sony pushes the boat out in terms of processor size and memory allocation.
  • This PS4K could co-exist with a cheaper ‘PS4 Slim’ based on the older APU, again using 14nm/16nm technology.

‘PlayStation 4 evolved’

One thing about this is that it will be compatible with all 4K televisions. Is making it compatible with 4K televisions a good idea?  There are so many possibilities to what can happen with this future powerful Playstation. I don’t want to push out ideas or get anything wrong, so i’ll leave it up to the company to officially reveal the information for this hardware.
