Lock if it ends up I'm a total plonker for posting this:
Someone has PMed me on N4G and he's far too technical for me to understand. It's something about the latest breakdown of the PS4 hardware. I'll post the gist of it to see if anyone can understand why he's saying the PS4 chip runs faster than 1.6ghz. He seems very confident:
I asked if he could explain more carefully:
At this point I asked him if it had been discussed anywhere else and he wrote this:
I'm seriously out of my depth with this information. Can someone make any sense out of it?

first there was the resolution reduction for single player in COD for Sony's PS4, AND NOW Again the same thing future update to increase to native 1080p after its shown side by side to the xboxone's and many site's seem to give Microsoft's xboxone the advantage in the CPU, but even that is proving wrong , but there still is sites saying that it does..but SOC product number's do not lie!
example
SCEI CXD90025G
see look at this: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l94/joeorc/jRTQFFF3VCXYA1ew.jpg
Notice the SOC's product Number
DG1000FGF84HT
Replace the T at the end with a letter S on google search!
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Jaguar/AMD-PlayStation 4 APU.html
notice that lists
DG1000FGF84HS is an OEM/tray SoC
1600 MHz
Now put the T back on the end and do a google search again...grin
yep that's right the PS4's SOC is higher clock than 1.6 GHz!
its a Stacked SOC when chipworks does its's X-ray of the SOC just like they did for the PSVita we will be able to see how many layer's it will have.
I asked if he could explain more carefully:
see that picture of the PS4's MOBO? well that outline is in red points to the person that is the PS4's system on a chip. on that chip is a part # you can look up those number's online under cpu review tech sites that know CPU package production number's. well remember when people keep saying the PS4's CPU is clocked @ 1.6 GHz per core, well the link shows that's the right series, but wrong chip production the one that the PS4 uses is a higher clock rate than the one that was seen from very early dev. kits. the one people keeps saying is the clock rate of the PS4 is this DG1000FGF84HS number when its this one DG1000FGF84HT that last letter is a later series of the chip..in other words a higher clock rate in the APU. Thus the PS4 is clocked higher than 1.6 GHz!
At this point I asked him if it had been discussed anywhere else and he wrote this:
nope as far as i know because , ifixit was the first to host such a public teardown other than sony themselves, this was decapped SOC Chip so you can see what the official package number was on the CPU..so this was just released last night..so you could not fake these because these number's are engraved on the chips they did not alter them..its straight up pictures from the teardown...grin
thats why i kept quiet until now, i looked up the chips and there it is, both the xboxone and the ps4's chip was shown by dev. kits and the official chips are going to be known because chipworks xrays the chips
I'm seriously out of my depth with this information. Can someone make any sense out of it?
