Considering the 1 TB HDD in this thing is going to be super low end it's not really worth much. Get an RX 470 plus a 1 TB HDD for an easy $230. Add a pentium G3258 + mobo and ram for $100, another $20 for the case plus $30 for the PSU and you just made a system that's all around better for less money.

LMAO enjoy not being able to start half of your games with that dual core shill.

What you just configured would cost $450. Now add $80 for windows 10 for $530 total. Oh and it can't play 4K Blu Rays.

Look I 90% game on PC, but don't act like this is overpriced. You are just making PC gamers look dumb.

Why not update it to ZEN and HBM2 already. And make the CPU/GPU chips replaceable on socket just like regular cpu. I doubt it that jaguar will fix the CPU bottleneck just by 500 MHz bump. EDF4.1 and bloodbourne lags bad as it is.

_Flare · Sep 8, 2016

So in the best case it has a downclocked RX480 maybe 1750MHz GDDR5 the New Technologies GPU-side could easily bring doubled Game-Perf.
plus 2x Carizzo-L(puma+)-4Core maybe CPU-side of A8-7410 2.2-2.5 GHz (2x25W)
instead of the 1.6GHz Jaguar-Cores of the PS4

if it used Turbo-Core it´s puma-based, newer than jaguar
PS4 uses a modified GCN1 maybe GCN2 and its ISA
GCN4 is way better designed for APU-usage and easier software-development

Stop posting off topic non-sense and turning this into a PC v Console battle. Just a friendly reminder

People will try to nitpick even if the new PS4 was given free.

I wish i got my PS3 for free as i only found 4 games i actually liked. Always wanted to play though God Of War but the controls are umm too console HAHA. Seems stupidly over the top.

If referring to OP - this is TechPowerUp, not PCPowerUp, so it's perfectly fine to report on consoles. New tech, is new tech.

EDIT: Whoops! Didn't see the smiley one my phone... didn't realise it was a tongue-in-cheek post. Sorry! :oops:

Nope I could honestly care less... I have never owned a console in my life #PCGAMERMASTERRACE! but they could put in a 512GB for $100 or less at their cost and have a MUCH faster more reliable experience. I cant stand to even browse the internet on a PC with a HDD any more. maybe a 1TB drive is needed? those 1GB saved game files?

Even a Hybrid drive at 1TB would be better and those are cheap!

Not many laptops in that price range has SSDs.

Not too shabby tbh.

Reading comprehension, all he said was dont make it in a A vs B nonsense hater "debate".
Never was it said that A was not to be discussed.

Rowsol · Sep 8, 2016

Yea, because at 8 feet from your TV you can totally see the difference between 1080p and this upscaled 4k. What are they thinking? Your games need higher FPS!

NC37 · Sep 8, 2016

Clock speed is 2.1Ghz if this leak is accurate.

http://wccftech.com/playstation-4-neo-leaked-document-reveals-specs-developer-guidelines/

Upgrades to the graphics aside, still don't know all the details on Scorpio. I doubt M$ will lowball again. If their 6TBps info is accurate, then it'll suddenly be on top. However, whether or not M$ breaks even on each console could be in question. They lowballed and lost so they might just go all out and high ball to get back on top. Really depends what they do with the CPU. Jag cores are pretty crappy.

Either way, consumers win.

Xajel · Sep 8, 2016

I don't currently have a PS4, I'm considering one for playing in free time and also as Media player.. I thought the Pro will be a better choice as it will be able to handle 4K and HEVC videos nicely.. and also as BluRay Player ( which I don't see I'll use for this streaming and downloading age, but it's just a plus )... So I suspect it will able to play UHD BD later... how long it will take, I don't know but I don't care currently as I still don't have an UHD TV yet.. planning maybe after 2 years or so. and I plan to keep the PS4 Pro longer than that...

Agree with you RejZor...i don't understand paying to play online, I don't understand why pay for incomplete games that receive dlc's and you have to pay again, I don't understand why pay for customs, why pay for weapons I don't understand Pay to Win... I don't understand how people are capable of paying console/game/internet/psplus/dlc to play one single game... I don't understand how people feed this system...This should not be the path of consoles...And now these updated consoles too...this is like stabbing the fans in the back and they appreciate it...they are transforming the console industry into selling PC hardware every two/three years...but it's my point of view.

An excerpt

"PS4 Pro specs – How much more powerful will the console be than a PS4?
Initial reports suggested PS4 Neo, as it was known, would feature a superior clock speed to the PS4 (2.1GHz vs 1.6Ghz), as well as an improved GPU.

Specifically, the current PS4 features an AMD GCN with 18 compute units running at 800MHz, but the PS4 Pro is expected to have 36 compute units running at a faster 911MHz clock speed – we'll confirm this when Sony does.

In broad terms, Sony says the PS4 Pro's GPU is more than twice as fast the PS4's, but didn't use specific numbers in its launch address."

And "only" $100 more than a standard PS4.

Finners · Sep 8, 2016

Thought about getting this for a few games I have missed and it being a relatively cheap 4k blu Ray player but seems this won't actually have a 4k drive which is odd.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Sep 8, 2016

Ok so basically, the games on it won't be rendered in native 4k (possible maybe with ps2 quality graphics), but rather just a post processed "upscaled" 1080p? Weak af.

dj-electric · Sep 8, 2016

I dont know about you guys, but i'm happy that the PS4 Pro launched.

No, not becuase of the device itself. I couldn't give a rat's bottom about this hunk'o'junk.

It was a true freakshow of missleading and embarrassment. I loved watching it and laughing loudly. Better than a summer comedy

BirdyNV · Sep 8, 2016

This damn thing...advertising that its a 4K gaming machine is almost false advertising, I very much doubt this thing will actually perform the way sony says it will. And if it does, shit, you know it costs more to make than what they are selling it for.

MustSeeMelons · Sep 8, 2016

I assume on current PS4 games this Pro version will not make any difference, or maybe there will be patches for it? If it will draw the prices of the standard down I'd be happy, could snatch one for Uncharted

P.S. Why all the hate? It's a beefed up PS4, that is all. I'd rather read people hate on the new iPhone.

Is there a thread for the iphone? Go there. But yeah its just ugh, its not really what sony should be doing. But theyre doing it anyway because they held such a big lead for the longest time, and now I feel they are just gonna Microsoft this.
