Sony undercover employee tweeting controlled leaks?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love him to be right (comprehensive PS1/2/3/4/PSP/Vita BC).
Sony has a massive ecosystem to monetize, so why not? More (digital) game sales, more royalties, more $$$, more funding for PS5 exclusives! Win-win.
I wholeheartedly agree:
Sadly, the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta came to an end earlier today, racking up over 1.53 MILLION unique players participating! This makes UNCHARTED 3 the LARGEST online beta to appear on the PS3. I cannot describe how awesome everyone in the Naughty Dog studio feels about hitting this...

Never understood this "leave MP to 3rd parties" logic, especially coming from SP-only gamers. What if someone enjoys playing unique, exclusive, 1st party MP games (like the above)?
No offense, but it's like a vegan telling me where to buy meat from. I respect your (food/gaming) habits, but please don't patronize people who have different habits. We can all co-exist peacefully under the same, vast, rich PS ecosystem.
It means 32MB L3 is necessary to counteract DRAM latency.
What about idle mode (sitting in the OS menu, no game running)?
Even OG PS4 should be able to have multiple clock profiles (i.e. 0.8 GHz for OS, 1.6 GHz for games). Could be something similar.
Forget it:
Besides, Cell/Xenon PPE is a dual-issue, in-order uarch (translation: horrible IPC), Jaguar is dual-issue OoO uarch (translation: 5x IPC vs PS360 CPUs), Zen 2 is a six-issue OoO uarch with a 256-bit vector unit on all 8 cores (Cell SPUs have 128-bit SIMD).
If RPCS3 is anything to come by, Zen 2 @ 3.2 GHz might be able to emulate PS3's Cell 6 SPUs (GameOS) in real time:
Sony (and MS) engineers have way more resources than hobbyists.
