The PS4 features a custom 8-core AMD Jaguar APU running at 1.6 GHz, designed specifically for Sony's eighth-generation gaming console. This semi-custom processor combines low-power x86 cores with integrated Radeon graphics, optimized for gaming workloads and console efficiency. Built on 28nm process, it enabled PlayStation 4's 1080p gaming capabilities and multimedia features. Despite modest specifications by modern standards, the tight hardware-software integration and console optimization allowed impressive gaming performance. The Jaguar architecture provided significant improvements over PS3's Cell processor, bringing familiar x86 development to PlayStation. Represents an important milestone in console gaming, shipping in over 117 million units and defining console gaming for a generation.
