Sony PlayStation 4 specs leaked

Sony PlayStation 4 specs leaked

Despite Sony claimed that PlayStation 4 will only arrive after the release of the next Xbox, just a day after Xbox 720 specs leaked, PS4 details have spilled online.

Sony’s PS4 which is also known as Orbis will comes with an 8-core AMD64 Bulldozer CPU – comprising 4 dual-cores, and an AMD R10xx GPU. The powerhouse is rumored to feature a touchpad on the back much like the PS Vita. It also said to come with another interesting extra, multi-account sign in, means each new control pad activated will need to be signed in by whoever is using it. So if four co-op players beat a boss all their accounts would be awarded trophies.
