PlayStation 4 Neo Leaked Document Reveals Specs & Developer Guidelines

A leaked document on the PlayStation iv Neo is now bachelor on the Web. Let's take a expect at its content.

The outset of import information is that all PlayStation iv games set up to release in Oct 2022 or afterward are required by Sony to support the new panel also as the bones i. Games optimized for the PlayStation 4 Neo are besides expected to have higher and more stable frame rate, but we'll become back to that subsequently.

Of grade, with a new organization the specifications are what everyone's eager to read about. According to this certificate (which also explains the budget split up between the game and the PS4 system), the PlayStation 4 Neo volition have a Jaguar CPU with viii cores running at ii.1 GHz. The GPU volition feature 36 Compute Units running at 911 MHz for a two.3X comeback in Teraflops, while the memory will nevertheless be 8GB GDDR5 though the bandwidth will exist higher at 218 GB/s.

Of course, there's no telling if these are the final specs or not.

The document as well explains how developers should gear up their games for both consoles.

However, the near interesting slides are the post-obit ones. We mentioned before that apparently Sony is pushing developers to run their games at a faster and more stable frame rate with the PlayStation 4 Neo.

Of form, this is a challenge when combined with the increased resolution. As such, Sony discussed some strategies like reducing the resolution of the brandish buffer. This is something that PlayStation 4 and peculiarly Xbox One games practice often - while the hardware outputs the image at 1080P, the brandish buffer is frequently lower.

However, Sony doesn't want developers to run the games at 1440P on 4K displays considering there wouldn't be plenty differentiation from the standard 1080P game on a regular HDTV. They're encouraging game creators to experiment with checkerboard rendering technique; if yous're a regular Wccftech reader, you lot might remember that we covered this topic when reporting Ubisoft's success with this technique in Rainbow Six Siege.

Of class, we don't have any way to know for sure if this document is legitimate. However, it certainly looks like it, though it seems to be about three months old. We'll update on this rumor in case we become more proof of its legitimacy or otherwise.
