I think it would be a good idea because with all that raw power if they add vegas pro and photoshop preloaded it would be able to go against Mac pro and through using same hardware as PS4 they would be able to save money and sell it with big margin. |

When ridiculous gets ridiculouser.
Anyway, add this to the rumours: a 4:3 Sony tab in 2014. Most likely IFA. |

I wouldn't go that far though, Mac pro have a lot more horsepower, 3 or 4 times more, PS4 is only good because of it optimisation and low level access to the hardware. It would be good for small workloads, definitely not vegas pro or after effects ... for more info : http://www.anandtech.com/show/6974/amd-kabini-review (the gpu part of the review is irrelevant, only the cpu part is the same as ps4, for info about the gpu, check AMD 7850 review )
and btw, i wouldn't expect the possibility to install an os from sony, but from a hacker. remember, they actually removed linux from the ps3 after it was sold... |

Are we not going a bit to much out of "Xperia rumours" topic?

Is this possible to make a PS4 based Windows 8 PC? If it's possible then Sony should go for it.
What are you smokin'? pass me here! 
Windows 8 on a PS4? I think it would be the last place where it would land... but most importantly where I would want it 
Actually it is not impossible at all, unlike the PS3, it uses x86 cores, which are compatible with Windows 8. (PS3 used POWER from IBM and PS2 and 1 used MIPS if i'm not mistaken). Sony and Microsoft decided to use x86 on their consoles to ease development as it is the same architecture as PC, in fact the APU used is pretty much the same APU you found in laptops powered by AMD, only with more GPU units. I definitely would want a computer OS on a PS4 too, not necessarily Windows, even Linux would do. (the only drawbacks Linux currently have over Windows IMHO is gaming, and PS4 already have it covered so in that case i don't care at all) That would make PS4 the cheapest gaming computer on the market.
I already know the hardware and the possibility of the PS4.. I'mn not talking about capabilities to hold Windows 8 or else... I'm just talking about the the fact that it is the direct enemy of the Xbox One, which is microsoft console, first of all if Windows 8 should arrive on a console it would be the Xbox... after and only after it could maybe come to the PS4.. but I mean how could or would want Sony to have Windows 8 running on PS4? so that people could install steam and stop buying games for the PS4?... It's completely wrong!!!!
by the way hihihans is right! back on topic  |

I agree with you completely, i only expect win8 (or any other desktop os) from a hacker. (i just wanna add that even if it happens, you won't be able to run pc games on the ps4, jaguar cores are too weak for gaming without ps4 optimisations) |

XM50 is probably rumored 6-inch MediaTek octa-core phone.

Is the supposed z ultra wifi only also supposed to be debuting at CES? I only wish Sony would just extend it's screen to make it 7 inches, or even 8.
Also accessories, perhaps more better bluetooth headsets, especially with built in noise cancellation as well. |

Okay, give me a Sony tab with the tegra k1 denver. Now. Or any tab even...
After 3 hideous generations, Nvidia are back. And they mean business...
1H release date for a15, 2h for denver.
I was wondering what my dream mobile chip setup would be before before this announcement, and I thought 2.5gHz duals with good power and efficiency, well, it seems we got the power at least...
