Playstation 4 neo is announced on September 7

New rumors suggest that the PlayStation 4 Neo will be announced very soon, specifically on September 7 at an event in New York.

PlayStation 4 Neo will be official in just a month with great improvements

The rumors arise after knowing that Sony will have a special event in New York to announce "a great thing", supposedly the new game console that will arrive to compete with the Xbox One S and of course the mysterious Nintendo NX although according to the latest rumors the new Great Nintendo's creation would play in a completely different league.

The PlayStation 4 Neo is expected to follow in Microsoft's footsteps and use a new AMD APU manufactured in TSMC's 16nm process, the new superchip will maintain a design very similar to that of the original PS4 although powered by its clock speeds. They will be superior in offering better performance while reducing power consumption. The chip will continue to have 8 Jaguar cores although its frequencies will rise 30% to 2.1 GHz, a substantial improvement compared to the 1.6 GHz that the PS4 presents.

In terms of the GPU, it will be the one that undergoes major changes with a new Polaris 10 architecture with 36 CU at a frequency of 911 MHz, it is essentially the same chip used in the Radeon RX 480 although at a lower operating frequency so its Performance would be more or less on par with the Radeon RX 470.

These improvements mean that the new PlayStation 4 Neo will have a graphics power 130% higher than the original model, so it should be able to move games with ease at 1080p resolution and 60 stable FPS for a great feeling of fluidity in movements.. The console will continue to have 8 GB of GDDR5 memory although this will increase its bandwidth to 218 GB / s to be able to power its powerful GPU.
