Rumor: PlayStation 4 Has Unlocked Seventh Core

We may be looking forward to greater-powered games in the future on the PlayStation 4. Apparently, Sony has recently unlocked a seventh core for developers, according to NeoGAF. Originally, during the PlayStation 4's release, only six cores were made available out of eight total, with the last two being reserved just for OS duties. 

On NeoGAF, patch notes for the Firelight Technologies FMOD audio API appeared, stating that it enabled access to the PS4's "newly unlocked seventh core."

Talk about a bit stealthy, but hey the news will be spreading somehow. This isn't anything new for the company though, as it overclocked the PlayStation Portable without anyone's knowledge before. So what does the future of the PlayStation 4 have in store for us? Who knows?

I mean, in the future maybe there would be higher graphics, better frame rates, or probably content that couldn't be achieved earlier.

It's just a matter of time! Then again, the move is probably made in order to compete with Microsoft, which unlocked the Xbox One's seventh core back in January of this year. 

Either way, there is no absolute confirmation for this seventh core quite yet, so for now, we should just hold our breaths.
