Sony PS4 dev kit FCC filing shows off extra ports, 275GHz max clock speed

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 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 become a part of the FCC’s database all we’re left waiting for is Mark Cerny’s baby.
