FCC wireless chip filing makes me think Sony will announce new Vita hardware

You remove the Blu ray drive and also leave it with 32gb. Hell the ps4 probably can't run any games with less than 100gb.

How would you play games?

So where did OP get the idea that this would be a new Vita? Honestly. And why "Vita Trinity?" Did he find that name somewhere? All he is showing in the OP is a wireless chip filing, which could easily be for a PS4 revision or something.

What I'm asking is, was there any real evidence that this was what the OP was suggesting? Because what's there in the first post certainly isn't.

It is garbage the OP made up then people seemingly wondered how to back that idea, I guess out of desperation for some Vita news. There is no Trinity. It's just a wireless chip.
 
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say here, but DSSS and OFDM are mentioned in the filing because those are the types of modulation used by WiFi. These are not new proprietary protocols, it's regular WiFi/Bluetooth.

When you mention that it is the first to support IoT devices I assume you mean because it supports BLE? Is this really the first STB to support Low Energy?
You are correct, it has nothing to do with IoT or Sony buying Altair. These are the new WiFi standards LIKE 802.11ac-80

The design constraints and economics that kept 802.11n products at one, two, or three spatial streams haven’t changed much for 802.11ac, so we can expect the same kind of product availability, with first-wave 802.11ac products built around 80 MHz and delivering up to 433 Mbps (low end), 867 Mbps (mid-tier), or 1300 Mbps (high end) at the physical layer. Second-wave products may promise still more channel bonding and spatial streams, with plausible product configurations operating at up to 3.47 Gbps.

802.11ac is a 5-GHz-only technology, so dual-band APs and clients will continue to use 802.11n at 2.4 GHz. However, 802.11ac clients operate in the less crowded 5-GHz band.
Still applies that it is needed for 4K video.

I am so confused, how in any way does this make someone think there will be a new Vita!? Am I just totally missing something here or taking crazy pills?

5Ghz on PS4 Neo seems a lot more likely than Vita. I deal with networking on a daily basis at my job and am familiar with wireless networking but the only part I'm kind of caught up with is what exactly here makes people think this is for the Vita, or what is telling as to what system it's going to be for?

Does it match a similar model number or scheme used for the Vita, or what's the deal here? Is this just wishful thinking?

If PS4 Neo is going to support 5GHz wifi, doesn't it make some sort of sense to have a corresponding Vita update for remote play? And if they really want to push Remote Play, they could go ahead and make more improvements like extra triggers, a higher screen resolution, and maybe a bit more power to handle high-resolution streaming. If it's enough of a power boost then games could be enhanced as well, just like with the Neo.

I'm probably stretching a little here but it's pretty logical, even if it doesn't make that much business sense (but coming from Sony that put out the PSP Go, anything is possible)

I actually have a Wifi Vita slim sitting in my Amazon shopping cart right now. Then I see this crazy thread and it gives me this ridiculous false hope that I should wait before pulling the trigger to see the new Vita model that Sony will unveil based on this news. I just can't win with this product.
 
Watch'em pull a Nintendo and actually announce Sony NX before they do.

A hybrid machine. xD

FAKE EDIT: this is now officially a jeff rigby thread. xD

Trinity?????? So this proves that Sony is funding a new Matrix film right?
Ken Kutaragi said:
"You can communicate to a new cybercity. This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie 'The Matrix'? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into 'The Matrix'!"
The secret of Kutaragi lives on!
 
If they actually announce a new Vita my first reaction will be "really Sony?" basically leaving the first one to die wasn't enough? Man so much could have been done with that. But if they show a steady lineup of interesting games that really make it worth it, they will have my attention. I am still very much doubting this is a new handheld.
 
Question: How is this about PSVita? All I see with my innocent eyes are Sony adding a better wifi chip for PS4K.

Note that I haven't read the entire thread cause y'all a bunch of crazies here lol.

Yeah I mean it's a new wireless chip for Neo. It's not a Vita or new handheld. Thinking it is is a stretch of logic of the highest degree

Why in the world would anyone, ever, assume this is for the Vita and not a new 5ghz chip for the Neo? Exactly what kind of delusion comes into play that people entirely ignored the obvious in this thread?

It's Neo, not Vita. Let's pack it up boys.
 
Now that Sony and Playstation are trending and leading the market with the PS4 it would be the best time to release a new handheld device that rides on that wave. I think it wouldn't be that crazy, their best chance to take the market is now.

Why don't they release a Playststion phone while they are at it? Or PlayStation car? Ride that wave.
