http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/ps4-napkin_620x340.jpgAfter all the press events (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-ps4-announcement/), TV cameos (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/jimmy-fallon-gets-his-hands-on-the-ps4-for-some-killzone-shadow/) and probing interviews (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/21/dualshock-4-near-final-remote-play/), what do we really know about the PS4? The announcement of the next-gen console is a prime example of having an abundance of specs and a lack of knowledge. Although Sony put out a sheet of stats (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-details-playstation-4-specs-8-core-amd-jaguar-cpu-8x-bl/) about the console's processor and memory, many of the words it used -- Jaguar cores, compute units, unified memory -- are more ambiguous than they may sound.
Nevertheless, even with all these foggy bits, there are some things -- five, in fact -- that we probably can predict about the PS4's hardware. They're listed after the break in order of decreasing certainty. All the way from confident logic down to... well, not quite flailing around with a butter knife during a power cut, but you get the picture.
