Sony would work on a more powerful version of the PS4 – 01net.com

More graphics power for the hypothetical new PlayStation 4? This is certainly what some sources of specialized site Kotaku have entrusted to it.
No way SP5 but a doped version of the steroid from the current model to run video games in 4K. A “ PlayStation 4.5 ” or even “ PS4K ‘names entirely imaginary and yet …

A hardware development (required) for the needs of the VR and 4K

Today, the Sony console is quite capable, technically, broadcast video content and / or 4K picture a screen, it is almost impossible for her and, specifically, its central chip Jaguar Custom developed by AMD and Sony, to run the games in such a resolution … without leaving some transistors. And as 4K seems to take more and more rooted in the gaming world, it is imperative for Sony and Microsoft to react or, failing that, to start urgently predict the future. Without waiting for the next generation of home consoles.

First raised by some of the developers, the opportunity for this new version of the console to run -aussi- games optimized for the PlayStation VR at a level superior. Both in terms of graphics quality that fluidity. A way for Sony to try to reduce the performance gap between its NextGen console and PC gaming that normally would, using the next generation of NVIDIA and AMD, able to run games without too 4K effort.

a change purely hardware therefore not just software , as it is wont to do in the very rigid world of console. And this rumor is reminiscent of the recent announcements from Microsoft about the possible developments of the Xbox One.

Second, what would the price of this new version, knowing that the console’s price has dropped recently (about 350 euros)? Third, will we be -in time- first two versions of the same game: a 4K, the other “standard” format?
not provide a specific answer in the state, especially the Sony spokesmen are not at all talkative on the subject, refusing to comment on such information.
