Crytek engineer: PS5 better console, easier to reach peak performance

I know right. First the game you're playing has to save it's state on the drive then the next game loads. That's got to take some seconds.
It's too early IMO. I remember prior to PS3 launch a lot of conventional wisdom was that the PS3 would be more powerful and run games better and that sure didn't stand a year later. Granted, the 200$ price difference was what people were really talking about at the time anyways (and the younger average age of a forum user made that a lot more important back then).
As someone who isn't super tech savvy (despite having a minor in computer engineering, lol), I'll wait until the boxes are actually out. It feels like there's too much conflicting information going around right now.
If that turns out to be true this is one of the most brazen PR moves ever done for a console launch and total damage control.
yea, do we haven any Arabic readers who can translate all that? :P
Very interesting read, His comments on Windows and DirectX somewhat holding Xbox back compared to PS5 where Sony don't have to really retain old architecture/frameworks and that means things are built for next gen exclusively takes me back to Cerny's comments on Backwards compat and gives a perspective on their whole issues with making sure PS4 games run on next gen, compared to MS that take a very different approach to this, thinking more about providing a soft transition to next gen and letting them take all their porting to next gen very easily (at least compared to Sony)
HAHAH, that gif is hilarious. I think the translation means close to zero. Hopefully someone can translate it a little better.
How reliable is that source? Some of those quotes sound wrong even to a layman like myself (eg. Sony makes its own software therefore it's better)
Yeah... this interview is really weird, though maybe it did just get totally mangled by Google translate, but I don't see how that would result in errors like him being totally wrong about the RAM and other weird statements about the XSX.
Guy legit works for crytek as a graphics engineer/programmer.
They already started running the game in the background when you hover over an icon and before you click on it?
Goodness just when it begins to slow down someone stokes the flame, can we just get the damn machines then decide who does what better
I imagine this is a translation error and its meant to say something like "close to zero".
not only that but split ram? He must be a terrible engineer or blankly lying about XSX ram lol
Fine! I read a Youtube comment that said PS5 will have overheating issues and Series X will allow me to meet God.
Can I rejoin the club now?
I can actually read Farsi. It is not his experience, it is based on what he has heard and it is public.
He thinks playstation API is better than directx so it will be easier to work and extract performance.
More CUs will have trouble reaching peak performance because they migtht not have access to resources, they have to compete over resources. He compares them to older AMD cpus with high core count vs Intel's. (my note: this comparison is so wrong on many levels) Rest of it is just Cerny's presentation pretty much about higher clocks.
PS5 loading time could be sub second. (this is your negative time google fail).

Before people freak out the programmer seems to acknowledge that XSX will probably keep native 4K more often because of the higher CU/TF number but that the PS5 has other strengths than just pure resolution and that it's easier to code for for various reasons including single RAM pool and simpler software tools.
He also seems to like Sony's variable frequency approach so that kind of goes against speculation that it would be troublesome for devs.
How legit is this site though because this sounds like stuff a Crytek employee wouldn't be allowed to talk about.

He's talking about the differing speeds depending on which portion of the memory you're accessing.
Yes for all we know below zero might actually mean just under zero (imagine height and saying it's not quite reaching the mark, but close, as in not quite zero). Highly likely just a language issue.
So yea, quite the wonky translation. That said it reads like the preference for this programmer comes down to the OS & APIs. From what I understand, historically, Sony's offerings allow devs to get "closer to the metal" and so I suppose this makes sense.
I think he was just using a hyperbole to express how ridiculous fast it will be on Ps5.
I'm in before the lock.
Forget what he said about the Series X stuff for a min, I'm liking what he said about PS5. Keep hearing it's so easy to develop for. That's a good sign of that holds true.
he must be blantly be lying or not a informed dev to know there's no split ram in XSX. Pick one
More qualified than any of the other talking heads online (DF, NXgamer).
Is his comparison between the Xbox One and Xbox Series X RAM also totally wrong like it sounds in the google translation?
