Rumor: PlayStation 4 “essentially a PC”

To abandon the cell processor.

The PlayStation 4 is “essentially a PC,” in terms of its “technological make-up,” according to a Digital Foundry source.

It will move away from the Cell processor in favor of “an AMD collaboration on the CPU,” which could mean the console utilizes an x86 processor.

A Kotaku rumor published yesterday falls directly in line with Digital Foundry’s claim, which also said Sony would abandon the Cell processor for PlayStation 4.
