They did not say exactly how fast but that is was running at a higher clock speed while being much smaller than the original.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition user <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neogaf.com\/forum\/member.php?u=416651\" target=\"_blank\">OsirisBlack <\/a>stated that the new console would continue to retail at the RRP of\u00a0$399.99 but that unconfirmed CPU upgrades could see the new console rise to as high as\u00a0 $499.99.<\/p>\n<p>The system will allegedly also ship with a 4K Bluray player and a suite of VR media options to take advantage of the upcoming Playstation VR.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most interesting (and controversial) is the rumour that developers already have access to PS4K dev units and will be specifically targeting the new hardware with upcoming games. These newer games will continue to work on the current PS4 system but with &#8220;considerable sacrifices made to performance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This is all purely conjecture at the moment with Sony not having confirmed the existence of the PS4K console at all. Given the amount of leaks over the last few days however, it is clear that new console hardware is definitely being considered by Sony.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PlayStation-VR-Promo.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-87722\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87722\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PlayStation-VR-Promo.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation-VR-Promo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PlayStation-VR-Promo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PlayStation-VR-Promo-230x130.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to The Division to receive massive update in April \u2013 details\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/87826-the-division-to-receive-massive-update-in-april-details.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Division to receive massive update in April \u2013 details<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to MyGaming under new management\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/87810-mygaming-under-new-management.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">MyGaming under new management<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to ShowMax makes it possible to watch TV shows 42% faster\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/87788-showmax-makes-it-possible-to-watch-tv-shows-42-faster.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">ShowMax makes it possible to watch TV shows 42% faster<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NeoGaf insider has leaked that the new &#8220;PS4K&#8221; could boast twice the graphical power of the current system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234,"featured_media":87714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[11489,7702,429,1427,1853,773],"class_list":["post-87706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-playstation","tag-4k","tag-graphics","tag-leak","tag-neogaf","tag-playstation4","tag-rumour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87706"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87860,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87706\/revisions\/87860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
