From the view of the mainboard seen in this video, one might have expected the eight DRAM die visible on the top of the board to be eight 1GB DRAM ICs. In fact there are eight DRAM ICs on the top of the board and eight on the bottom of the board. Given Sony’s <em><a href="http://us.playstation.com/corporate/about/press-release/playstation-4-ps4-launches-november-15-in-north-america-november-29-in-europe-and-latin-america.html">published specs</a></em> giving the amount of main memory at 8GB, we can conclude that each of the 16 DRAM die are 512MB.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-feature2.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-feature2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-top-metal.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-top-metal-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-top-metal-die-corner.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-top-metal-die-corner-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-XRay.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-XRay-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-Xray-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DRAM-Xray-2-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><strong>The Network Co-Processor</strong></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'">One of the convenient new features of this generation of console is the capability they have to download content while in standby mode. This is enabled by dedicating silicon to that specific task, such that the majority of sub-systems can be turned off while keeping that functionality alive. The PS4’s dedicated network processor appears to be a custom ASIC by Marvell, judging from the package markings.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-Co-Pro.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-Co-Pro.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/01.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/01-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-co-procss.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-co-procss-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-co-processor.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Network-co-processor-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/03.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/03-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/02.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/02-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><strong>The WiFi Module</strong></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'">The WiFi Module featuring a metal lid and Marvell package markings contains an interesting component. The WiFi engine behind the PS4 is a Marvell Avastar 88W8797. The Avastar features multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/gn/ + Bluetooth 4.0 with Low Energy Support (BLE) plus FM radio and an embedded PMIC block. Interestingly, this Avatar was designed for mobile applications like smart phones and tablets, but to date Chipworks has only ever observed this Marvell device inside one other product, The Microsoft Surface Tablet back in October of 2012. Do you think Sony got a deal on this? The WiFi module also contains two Skyworks/SiGe WiFi front end modules. The Avastar die measures 5.6 x 6.9 mm and was fabricated at TSMC and appears to be fabricated on a 65 nm mixed signal process technology.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WiFi-Module1.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WiFi-Module1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/B00594116AED.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/B00594116AED-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wifi-package.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wifi-package-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wifi-package-XRay.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wifi-package-XRay-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Marvell-top-metal.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Marvell-top-metal-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Marvell-top-metal-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.chipworks.com/components/com_wordpress/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Marvell-top-metal-2-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'"><strong>Other Devices of Interest</strong></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'sans-serif'">The remaining major components found tonight include Samsung 2G DDR 3 SDRAM used by the network co-processor, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

You’d think that in seven years, Sony would incorporate a fair bit of design innovation and that is in fact what we have here.

It’s very similar in size to Sony’s second generation PS3 and slightly more compact than its rival Xbox One. One of the first things we noticed was that Sony’s engineers managed to find a way to fold the power supply inside the box, leaving clumsy gamers with no peripheral power brick to trip over.

We also expected to find 8 GB GDDR5 RAM, 500 GB removable and upgradable hard drive storage, 802.11 b/g/n Wireless and Bluetooth 2.1 and USB 3.0 + Ethernet 10/100/1000.

We therefore expected to see a single die under the main processor package, with no separate DRAM die in package, and no embedded DRAM on the main die. This is indeed what we have found. A huge monolithic die of 20 x 20mm.

From the view of the mainboard seen in this video, one might have expected the eight DRAM die visible on the top of the board to be eight 1GB DRAM ICs. In fact there are eight DRAM ICs on the top of the board and eight on the bottom of the board. Given Sony’s [I][URL="http://us.playstation.com/corporate/about/press-release/playstation-4-ps4-launches-november-15-in-north-america-november-29-in-europe-and-latin-america.html"]published specs[/URL][/I] giving the amount of main memory at 8GB, we can conclude that each of the 16 DRAM die are 512MB.

This is enabled by dedicating silicon to that specific task, such that the majority of sub-systems can be turned off while keeping that functionality alive. The PS4’s dedicated network processor appears to be a custom ASIC by Marvell, judging from the package markings.

The WiFi engine behind the PS4 is a Marvell Avastar 88W8797. The Avastar features multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/gn/ + Bluetooth 4.0 with Low Energy Support (BLE) plus FM radio and an embedded PMIC block. Interestingly, this Avatar was designed for mobile applications like smart phones and tablets, but to date Chipworks has only ever observed this Marvell device inside one other product, The Microsoft Surface Tablet back in October of 2012. Do you think Sony got a deal on this? The WiFi module also contains two Skyworks/SiGe WiFi front end modules. The Avastar die measures 5.6 x 6.9 mm and was fabricated at TSMC and appears to be fabricated on a 65 nm mixed signal process technology.
