A document managed to leak: it describes the PlayStation 4 NEO‘s capabilities, and specifications… and there’s also a possible release date on the table as well!

On the NeoGAF forums, the following PDF has surfaced, and we’d mention a few elements of the document here. The PDF doesn’t look like something fake, because when Eurogamer/DigitalFoundry had a detailed article on the NEO (which wasn’t even announced officially then!), we mentioned similar things.

Let’s start with the most important point: „All PlayStation 4 titles released October 2016 or later should support both the original PlayStation 4 system and the NEO system.” The CPU would remain the Jaguar one, but with a higher clock speed (2.1 GHz instead of 1.6), the GPU would receive a tune-up as well (36 CUs on 911 MHz each – the original PS4 has 18 on 800 MHz – 2.3 times more FLOPs), and the RAM would remain 8 gigabytes of GDDR5, but on a higher bandwidth (218 GB/s, a 24% improvement from the 176 GB/s in the base model). According to Sony, the 1440p resolution wouldn’t be significant from the full HD (1080p) resolution, and they are trying to move as close to 4K (2160P) as possible.

This information doesn’t seem that fake to us, and if Sony indeed launches the NEO in October, we’ll be curious to see what Microsoft will do. Will the „green team” have a stronger console? The future awaits us…
