Sony's eighth-generation home console, powered by a custom AMD Jaguar APU with unified GDDR5 memory and a focus on developer-friendly architecture.
A key part of the design is the 8 GB of unified GDDR5 memory, shared between the CPU and GPU. Games draw from a single pool of fast memory, which simplifies development and helps with handling textures and complex scenes in modern titles.
As a home console, the PlayStation 4 has no built-in screen and connects to a TV or monitor through its HDMI 1.4 video output. For audio, S/PDIF and an AUX port are also available, which is handy for external sound systems.
The chassis measures 275 x 305 x 53 mm and weighs 2.8 kg, a flat form factor that sits comfortably under a TV. Storage comes from a 500 GB internal HDD, complemented by a Blu-ray Disc drive for games on physical media.
Connectivity includes 2x USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet for a stable wired network connection, Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 2.1 for wireless peripherals. It is a complete set for everyday use, even if the wireless standards are modest by today's measures.
The console runs the PlayStation 4 system software, also known as Orbis OS, which manages the game library, apps and online features. The x86-64 architecture and developer-focused design helped the platform build an extensive library of titles.
Ideal for: players who want an established living-room console with a Blu-ray Disc drive, 500 GB of internal storage and access to Sony's eighth-generation catalogue, hooked up easily to a TV via HDMI.
