You don't get it. Insiders aren't official sources, we never knew for sure that next gen would use SSD until Cerny's interview. Sony framed the discussion here about nextgen, sorry you don't like that.
Like i said, they confirmed the rumour.
It seems u r upset and trying anything u can to get over Sony going officially first .insiders are not confirmation .otherwise ps5 is confirmed to be 14.6 TF since an insider confirmed it . That doesn't make sense .Sony confirmed SSD and raytracing first yesterday officially and MS will confirm it second in e3 .simple as that .why does it matter who is first or second ?
Brad sams already debunked this rumor. I have posted it here many times.
In response to someone saying that Sony undercut any MS announcement about next gen hardware having SSDs with the Cerny interview you posted this:
If u wanna go down that route , epsilon leak for ps5 mentioned 1tb SSD ,mid 2018. So again as for leaks are concerned ps5 SSD was leaked first . But non of what we r talking about matters or even makes sense .rumors are not official announcements.and it doesn't matter who does it first
I'm confused. didn't digital foundry just recently say it could be true?
Yup :)I've been thinking back one this heat sink patent from Sony:

And then I think about that HBM rumor from the last few days... having the HBM stacks directly under the APU, and using this heat sink design for better cooling. Could be something there...
There seems to be a lot of conflicting info going around.
What part i'm upset?
Indeed. I feel like all three major gaming companies are firing on all cylinders, and their level of engagement with their communities is at an all-time high. It's a good time to be a fan of games.
Who determines what is and what is not acceptable in a consumer targeted, market driven product? That maybe should have been a better way for me to frame the question.
So the HBM rumor might be true.I've been thinking back one this heat sink patent from Sony:

Yeah, personally its looking like a great strategy. It feels like it will follow what we have today in the XB1 S and X. If the rumors hold true. Lockhart and Anaconda would be the same. If you want a cheaper budget box to get into next gen gaming and don't care for the highest bells and whistles. Lockhart is for you. If you are a power enthusiast gamer who wants the best of the best, beast console, Anaconda has your number. Both of them will have the same core assets that will change next gen gaming more than anything else: The same cpu, same special ssd/nvme storage solution.
I'm saying what will the reactions will be since Phil said they will have the power.
Nothing?
God i hope this Rumor ist true it Sounds Like a really good solution
I doubt it too.but 8 Navi tf's could be like 10 Polaris tf's. Also the X was a 500$ machine in late 2017. What does 400$ get you 2 1/2-3 years later?
Anandtech disclosed that AMD stated they would need to redesign the front-end to get rid of the soft 64 CU limit. Navi is a new architecture, with "scalability" as its design goal, so I'd guess they would have overcome it if they felt they needed to.
it was at the end of e3 conference in 2017 i think...
We still don't know anything about the GPU and amount of Ram!
It was said at least years e3. Something about being the benchmark for next gen. It was said pretty definitively so got lots of people speculating. Plus rumors of two sku launch further this rumor. And it sound pretty likely.
