http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/07/ps4-dev-kit-front-back.jpgSony proudly showed off its PlayStation 4 hardware (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/playstation-4-revealed/) for the first time at E3, and now we're getting a peek at what developers are working with this generation thanks to the FCC. The DUH-D1000AA prototype Development Kit for PS4 is listed in these documents, tested for its Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi radios. As one would expect, the diagrams show it eschews the sleek design of the consumer model for extra cooling, a shape made for rack mounts plus extra indicator lights and ports. Also of note is a "max clock frequency" listing of 2.75GHz, and although we don't know how fast the game system will run by default, it's interesting to hear what all that silicon (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/11/sonys-playstation-4-eye-is-a-59-add-on-ps4-packs-a-500gb-hdd/) may be capable of (as a commenter points out below, that may relate to the system's 8GB of GDDR5 RAM) while maintaining a temperature between 5 and 35 degrees celsius. Hit the link below to check out the documents for yourself, after seeing this and the system's controller (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/22/sony-playstation-4-dualshock-4-fcc/) become a part of the FCC's database all we're left waiting for isMark Cerny's baby (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/28/playstation-through-the-years-mark-cerny-on-the-ps4s-roots-and/).
