Revision needs to include full TRIM support. SSD's need to be able to blaze.

so this isn't gonna be a major redesign. is it just internals changed about to maybe improve efficiency and bring the price of manufacturing down?
i don't think we'll see a redesigned (slim) model for another year or so.

"OS low power thing...?" Please have actual knowledge on the subject please..
Its 2GiB, which is 256MB, not 2GB
All PS3 models use standard laptop hard-drives, just swap in a bigger one, it'd be cheaper.
It is actually one 2 gbit chip, which is 256MB.

If you're correcting someone please do it correctly
2GiB is not 256MB, 2Gb however is.2GiB is 2147MB, 2GB is 2000MB and 2Gb is 256MB. Confusing as fuck, I know, but you can thank the storage manufacturers for that because they want a bigger number on the box for less.
1KiB = 1024 bytes, 1KB = 1000 bytes and 1Kb = 125 bytes.

I could see a new PS4 with an updated chipset that is cheaper to manufacture, allowing Sony to drop the price in the very near future.
The end user won't notice a difference in performance or look of the system, just in the price of it.

can we just get a ps4 that plays ps3/ps2/ps1 discs please?
I'd pay 600 for that.

Can we get a PS4 model that is backwards compatible with the PS3 please?
How will they sell you PS Now then?

I wouldnt mind this, I really want to retire my launch 60Gb
So apparently Pocketnews has a new CUH-1100 model PS4 and has compared it to the previous model.
According to Dutch site Tweakers (http://tweakers.net/nieuws/99236/revisie-ps4-heeft-gewijzigde-heatsink.html), the following was changed among other things. I don't understand many technicalities
- Changed heat sink and changed power supply towards the CPU and GPU
- Lower weight (2700g vs 2750g)
- Mainboard was type SAA-001, now SAB-001
- The 8-bit-mcu by STMicroelectronics was removed, perhaps now obsolete by the Marvell CXD90025G-asic sub processor (speculated by Tweakers, don't know)
- Memory changed from ddr3-1600 to ddr3l-1833 (lower power usage) (for the Marvell CXD90025G-asic sub processor, not main memory)
- AMD APU changed from CXD90026G to CXD90026AG
Yep it's the first internal revision to cut costs although this year Sony has kept the margin for themselves.
Still much of the costs revolve around the APU and the number of GDDR5 memory chips.
If they can shrink the APU to 20-22nm and cut the number of chips from 16 to 8, the PS4 will become VERY cheap to manufacture. Surely they have their internal roadmap for these things. I guess that 2015's revision will be more substantial and will allow for the first price drop.
About PS3...they definetly need to hit the 150$ price point with 32-64GB flash capacity if they want to keep sales of product rmeaningful next year and going on. There were rumors about a 22nm Cell...I don't know what they're doing on the matter or if they intend to follow a path similar to the PS2 integrating Cell and RSX on the same die.
If i can recall, Eurogamer said that Nvidia being tyrannical with the RSX not allowing them to switch to a lower process was why they went with AMD, of course getting screwed in the first place with a weaker GPU because of Nvidia's BS on the PS3 should have made it clear Nvidia wasn't going to play nice, same with the original Xbox and the debacle MS went through.
In combination with the fact that investing in CELL any longer probably isn't going to yield many returns going forward, i don't think Sony are in a viable position to get the PS3 any smaller without sacrificing everything but the hardware components.
Yes, i'm stupid. Thank you for correcting me on the subject.

Yeah, if this model came out and was confirmed quieter for some reason I'd buy it in a heartbeat and sell my old one.
