Playstation 4 – Codename Thebes
The codename for the next-gen console is rumoured be Thebes, not Orbis as was previously thought.
The only other information that really seems to be known about the PS4 is that it will be using an AMD CPU and GPU
Website SemiAccurate reported that: "It is said to be a 28nm part, likely fabbed at Global Foundries or IBM for the first run, and out after Oban. That would most likely be the spring of 2014, but it could be fall of that year too."
For those of you that were not aware, Oban is the codename given to the Next-Gen Xbox chipset.
It's also a bit of an upset that the report seems to date the PS4 for release in mid to late 2014. This may anger those who were hoping that the 2013 holiday season would mark the start of the next gen console war.
A speculated reason for this might be due to the fact that both Microsoft and Sony seem to be using AMD to create the chips for their next consoles.
Microsoft seems to have called dibs for first in the queue.

Activ8 That sounds SO stupid. Thebes? Orbis sounds way better. Well good thing it's not confirmed, so they can change it if they get bad feedback. I personally think PS4 would be the best name.
It's a CODE NAME, those aren't the actual names for the consoles -_-

PS4 and 720 almost seem so unreal now since the PS3 and 360 have been out for so long. It's sad to see them go :/

HeartwoodXxGA3MRxX But why AMD. Just why.?
Because AMD are better bang for buck. If it saves you money, and gives you equal, if not better, performance - why complain?
I've seen the specs of the new 720 and they look very disappointing. Don't hope to be maxing out games on it.

Implying any rumors about the 720 on the Internet are actually true.
