LIVERPOOL SOC

Custom implementation of AMD Fusion APU Arquitecture (Accelerated Processing Unit)
Provides good performance with low power consumtion
Integrated CPU and GPU
Considerably bigger and more powerful than AMD’s other APUs

PU:

Orbis contains eight Jaguar cores at 1.6 Ghz, arranged as two “clusters”
Each cluster contains 4 cores and a shared 2MB L2 cache
256-bit SIMD operations, 128-bit SIMD ALU
SSE up to SSE4, as well as Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
One hardware thread per core
Decodes, executes and retires at up to two intructions/cycle
Out of order execution
Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each)
Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance
102.4 GFlops for system



GPU:

GPU is based on AMD’s “R10XX” (Southern Islands) architecture
DirectX 11.1+ feature set
Liverpool is an enhanced version of the architecture
18 Compute Units (CUs)
Hardware balanced at 14 CUs
Shared 512 KB of read/write L2 cache
800 Mhz
1.843 Tflops, 922 GigaOps/s
Dual shader engines
18 texture units
8 Render backends

UPDATE: some people is confused about the GPU, here you have more info about it:

Each CU contains dedicated:

- ALU (32 64-bit operations per cycle)

- Texture Unit

- L1 data cache

- Local data share (LDS)

About 14 + 4 balance:

- 4 additional CUs (410 Gflops) “extra” ALU as resource for compute

- Minor boost if used for rendering

Dual Shader Engines:

- 1.6 billion triangles/s, 1.6 billion vertices/s

18 Texture units

- 56 billion bilinear texture reads/s

- Can utilize full memory bandwith

8 Render backends:

- 32 color ops/cycle

- 128 depth ops/cycle

- Can utilize full memory bandwith



Memory:

4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s
3.5 available to games (estimate)



Storage:

- High speed Blu-ray drive

single layer (25 GB) or dual layer (50 GB) discs
Partial constant angular velocity (PCAV)
Outer half of disc 6x (27 MB/s)
Inner half varies, 3.3x to 6x



- Internal mass storage

One SKU at launch: 500 GB HDD
There may also be a Flash drive SKU in the future



Networking:

1 Gb/s Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WIFI, and Bluetooth



Peripherals:

Evolved Dualshock controller
Dual Camera
Move controller



Extra:

Audio Processor (ACP)
Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
Zlib Decompression Hardware

Awesome! It's happening!

[shinobi602]

[confuziz]

holy crap

[richiek]

Orbis contains eight Jaguar cores at 1.6 Ghz, arranged as two “clusters”

Not exactly the best name to use.

[Verendus]

I am trying to make sense of everything.

IT IS NOT WORKING!!

[Eideka]

That's nice. Now where is my The Last Guardian Sony ?

Damn, I bought a PS3 for this game. >:

[shagg_187]

802.11b/g/n.

Thank you, based Sony.

[sangreal]

so no new info really

[Batman]

So is this really good?

[ghst]

I am trying to make sense of everything. IT IS NOT WORKING!!

read the hundred page threads that already assumed these exact specs, right down to memory bandwidth.

So is this really good?

probably the best you can expect from a profitable console under $400 in 2013.

[malikhaing_bayag]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

[nib95]

Hawt. Great to have a few of these confirmed. Was fearful of a downgrade!

[systemfehler]

so no new info really

Nope and not even a mention about additional computing units, BC, anything special - basicly it is what made rounds at NeoGAF the last couple of days/weeks.

[shagg_187]

So the blu-ray drive has the same speed as Durango's? I was expecting Sony to step the game up. 500GB HDD is nice though!

[Kagari]

One SKU? I'll believe it when I see it.

[alr1ght]

Move controller

[Verendus]

read the hundred page threads that already assumed these exact specs, right down to memory bandwidth. probably the best you can expect from a profitable console under $400 in 2013.

Tongue in cheek.

I've been aware of the specs for some time now.

[Seda]

So whats the equivalent DBZ power level?

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

dammit

[Yawnier]

"Evolved Dualshock Controller"

So basically a fourth revision of the Dualshock?

[cw_sasuke]

This doesn't sound cheap and the TF value is way more higher than the rumored Durango specs, didn't expect the Ps4 GPU to be more powerful.

[metareferential]

so no new info really

Yeah, what am I missing? Isn't this what we already knew?

[Nakazato]

.

[jello44]

Not exactly the best name to use.

DO THE MATH

[nofi]

Nope and not even a mention about additional computing units, BC, anything special - basicly it is what made rounds at NeoGAF the last couple of days/weeks.

Pretty much.

[Twilight Princess]

Is it real or still a rumor?

[amar212]

[Orayn]

So is this really good?

Looks nice, yeah. Many would say it's a more powerful, sensible design than Durango. Unlike the PS3, it doesn't seem to contain anything that's either crazy expensive (Blu-ray drive when PS3 was new) or exotic and hard to work with. (Cell, XDR DRAM to an extent)

[RyanReedyMusic]

Boom.........Cant wait

[LiquidMetal14]

So is this really good?

For a closed platform, yes, very good. That's not to say this is final HW.

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

I need a translation into layman. Maybe add in Durango/U comparisons as well.

[KageZero]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

Sure, SSJ Goku=WiiU
SSJ2 Goku=Orbis
Only hardcore players can notice the difference :)

[Tenrius]

"Evolved" DualShock? I was kinda hoping for something new, DualShock is way too old.

Is it supposed to ship with the dual camera and Move though?

[Verendus]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

Wii U is Krillin.

[M.D]

[Fine Ham Abounds]

DO THE MATH

clap.gif

[badcrumble]

Yeah, nothing new here.

[R dott B]

1.8 TF's...How many TF is a GTX 670?

[SparkTR]

Isn't this pretty much what we already knew? Or is this new info? Better not be linkbait.

[Katana_Strikes]

Move? Do NOT want!

[Binabik15]

Nope and not even a mention about additional computing units, BC, anything special - basicly it is what made rounds at NeoGAF the last couple of days/weeks.

*knocks over shelf*

[ilnadmy]

Can someone explain this in English? I can't really follow the specs in the OP since I'm not fluent in tech. How does it compare to current consoles/PCs?

[jbug617]

Don't know a lot about tech but doesn't Sony use OpenGL rather than Direct X?

[Morgan Freeman]

read the hundred page threads that already assumed these exact specs, right down to memory bandwidth.

Can you link me to the best one?

[Nestunt]

If this stays its course

my next home console

[ProtomanNeo]

Estimated Price?

[eXistor]

Wow that's amazing! I think. I don't actually know what those numbers mean...oh well, as long as it means cool new games.

[Josh7289]

One SKU sounds so nice.

[upJTboogie]

Boring, but at least the rumors spread about a downgrade in some threads seems false.

[Dr.Palutena]

One SKU? I'll believe it when I see it.

Same, That goes against many trends we see happening in consumer tech, and I'd think they'd make a "lesser" version for price conscious consumers.
