Like freaking awesome bro.
Ive heard they will be 2 and 3 generations newer than what we have now. For real!

2020 is likely to be the point where the first Graphene-based Game Consoles are considered as they're specific enough to be considered for Graphene rather than Silicon.
Anything larger and more complex would be a challenge at that point.

100x the power of the PS4 at room temperature. That's the kind of power increase that could occur.

As long as they achieve a band-gap in Graphene (where Electrons can be turned on and off (and they can pass back and forth through that band-gap - which currently doesn't fully exist yet).

In 2021, the PS5, based on Graphene fabrication would likely be a "25"Ghz SoC (with no cooling required) on a "50"w design.
A 25Ghz Graphene SoC would do ray-tracing like nVidia and AMD currently do triangle-polygons+texture fillrate.

100x power is probably the least of what it could achieve of whatever you are expecting to get from a PS4 in 2013.

There's a good chance that could happen in the next 10-15 years.

ps4 is going to be a revaloution like all ps technology is there not just put millions of proudects to make us buy them they are make them for the entertainment of the (and s@#t loads of money)

It wouldn't be a significant jump if they released it toward the end of 2012 to compete with Nintendo's Wii-U (which will be no slouch; and don't listen to anyone telling you different; Wii-U will be much more powerful than the current gen).

A PS4 in Q3/Q4 of 2014. Well that's a completely diffierent situation. Sony need breathing space.

I don't think Sony should try and quickly bounce with Microsoft, because they're going to lose trying. Microsoft if pushed by Sony, will get pushed back twice as hard.
Sony should relax, sit with the PS3, and believe in their investment to it.

What they did all those years back with Cell and Blu-ray - I don't know any company in the world right now that does something like that and manages to be successful with it.
It got close to falling into a black hole, but Sony pulled through.

As long as Sony doesn't fall for the bate that Microsoft is doing with their next Xbox, they'll be fine.
Let Nintendo and Microsoft duke it out instead of Sony having to pull the punches all the time.

OK, I'm sorry but where exactly did you hear that the PS4 wouldn't be much better than the PS3?! Didn't you see that video of the polygons enhancement? No it's not on this page but if you find it you'll realize. without a doubt, that the PS4's graphics are going to be unbeatable. Think real life graphics!

If the PS4 arrives toward the end of 2012, then it should be approximately 5 times more powerful than the PS3 - or equivalent to a VERY HIGH-END PC gaming rig. That would be the maximum extent of it until PS4 developers started hitting "the metal" in the early stages of 2014 (where, as expected, the PC will start to break away from it).

Any next next-gen gaming console is going to have to kneel before TDP green policies set by Government energy target requirements. Less than 200W; though don't doubt for a moment that Microsoft and Sony will try very hard to meet 150W.

If the PS4 arrives in 2014, it would likely be around 15 times the power of the PS3.
That would crush any high-end PC you can dream up, until 2016, when Intel takes x86-64bit to levels that simply cannot be conceived of right now

On another note, discarding HDD and SSD altogether would assist strongly in this TDP target gain. And that a new form of "Optical Srteaming" will take place. That's where the Cell's SPEs come into focus - they are absolutely monsters at streaming data from Optical linear devices.

Giving every ounce of "power per watt per transistor", where it's actually required, CPU and GPU, is how the expectations of these consoles can be achieved.

4D iswhen you can smeel what happens on the screen

Microsoft give the peopel what they want: Graphics. Sony's graphics compared to microsoft's are horrible man, so shut up!

PS3? I have some ps3 demos, quite old now lol lol ... ass biscuits

if they DO stick with the transparent design its probably a hell of alot more likely to be acrylic plastic, its much stronger and much cheaper than glass. they wont use glass.

God of ass biscuits maybe

I have a sony radio and cd player its crap and only played once and the laser stoped working !!

not only that sony why are you sooo stindgy with the lead lengths i have a psp and the av cable to the tv is so short.

Also why do you not give Uk gamers the full online games for the ps3 liek the usa gets and why dont alot of games come out in the uk but the usa so peopel have to import them ??

ive had a ps1 & ps2 & psp but sony xbox 360 treats there customers better with many more games on xbox store and we get the same games as the usa gets.

Sort the ps4 out so the world gets games not just rich countrys like the usa.

so what the ps4 coming out in 2011 spetember ??

no! stupid the glass won't brake it's like some specil altra resestent shatter glass like thing

obviously Sony will make it out of high quality glass, what do u think they are so stupid to make it out of a desk table glass??
