That list is nonsensical in some ways and completely safe in others, like, BC and new VR capabilities are totally expected if you've been paying attention to patents, but when he says "4K/60fps" it puts major doubt on whether he actually knows anything. It's not that 4K/60fps won't be possible, it will be. The Zen-based CPU will be much, much more capable than Jaguar, but Sony doesn't normally tell developers they're building a 4K/60fps next-gen machine because it's always up to developers on what they want to target. Let's be clear here, Sony will NOT mandate 60fps for non-VR titles, so I can't take this Chieze guy seriously. You could make up that list after googling PS5 and regurgitating many other fake articles anyway.
BC will definitely be in, so I hope this guy doesn't suddenly become "credible" for stating such an obvious thing.

Yes, don't see how that is contradictory. One is a dev instruction, the other is a consumer expectation.
In a hypothetical closed box PS5 with a brand new spankin CPU and RAM combo, the GTX 1080 would do a hell of a lot more than it does in your current PC, let me assure you Jason
Not necessarily. The i7 that's likely in Jason's machine will still smoke Zen, and we have to consider thermals as well.
Yeah... Not gonna really buy into these "leaks" after Jason's article basically said the opposite. That said, this isn't the first time I've seen someone mention the possibility of a Spring 2020 launch for PS5. I've just assumed that Sony would stick to their holiday plans, but the more I think about it the more a Spring launch makes sense. Especially with their recent strategy of releasing first party games around that time.
Yes. The sooner developers can move to Zen-based CPUs the better for me.
PS1 and PS2 were 6 years and PS3 was 7 but the recession added a year.
That is why people say 2019 we will see a PS5 if it follows the trend.
The bit about backwards compatibility doesn't make sense. They don't have backwards compatibility on a game by game basis, they don't have it at all just now.
This doesn't appear to have any information beyond what we already know, and all the other stuff on that list seem like safe assumptions. Will close this for now
