Sony is working on a brand new PS4 that could incorporate new Intel processors, says a source. The device, which will be cheaper to manufacture than current model PS3s, will also get new Intel graphic processors (GPU) and Gigabit wireless technology if it goes ahead.
Currently Sony uses the Cell processor manufactured by Toshiba.
A Sony source said that Intel technology was being used in development models; however, no final decision has been made because of concerns over heating and the potential of the processors crashing when used in a gaming environment.
