The latest report on the next PlayStation console (courtesy of Kotaku), allegedly codenamed " Orbis, " puts AMD at the heart of both CPU and GPU: an eight core AMD64 CPU and an AMD R10XX GPU are said to drive the system.
It's one of Sammy's higher-end ultraportable, available in Core i5 and i7 configurations and a choice of 128GB or 256GB SSDs, not to mention a 1GB AMD HD8570M GPU. That definitely smacks of heavy-duty performance -- compared to many Ultrabooks on the market, at least.
Additionally, it packs a 512MB AMD Radeon 6750M GPU, whereas most of its competitors come standard with integrated graphics (or don't even offer a discrete option).
