The 1 GHZ base frequency has to be when the system is idling or something. If these are Zen+ or Zen2 cores then there's no way they'll be running at anything less than 2.5 GHZ during gaming.

Yeah I'm hyped about 8 cores @3.2Ghz.

GPU fears seem debunked. Would be strange if it was 1Ghz but it would still work out well. 8-10Tfs is still a good leap if a bit underwhelming

I'm expecting it to be 1.2Ghz tho.

100GB UHD discs, 4K everywhere (where applicable), 8 cores @3.2 and maybe 20ishGBs and 10TF+ sounds nice to this 1080p TV owner

Are we assuming the GPU will at least have 8GBs reserved for it more or less? Seems like it with the 8-11TF numbers.

If they put 8GB for GPU (in one large pool) than I doubt they do less than 8GB for system RAM, bringing total to 16GB before OS RAM, which would be at least 4GBs imo.

So 20GB pool of RAM minimum will be my estimate.

the 1GHZ is the gpu, not the cpu. the CPU speed is 3.2GHZ.

Ah. I mean, I'm really not concerned with the GPU in either of these consoles. Much more interested in the CPU and RAM, as those factors are really going to influence the nature of next-gen games, from AI complexity to world immersion and more.

So... Anyone mind taking the consoles below and filling in some gaps for a reasonable "minimum" expectation on next-gen consoles? I didn't try to estimate CPU speeds and won't be offended if you tell me that I messed something up! I'm also going on the assumption that Lockhart/Anaconda will come in above and below the $399 PS5 to justify their specs.

Lockhart
- Ryzen CPU
- 6TF NAVI GPU
- 12GB GDDR6 RAM
- 1TB HDD

PS5
- Ryzen CPU
- 8TF NAVI GPU
- 16GB GDDR6 RAM
- 1TB SSHD

Anaconda
- Ryzen CPU
- 10TF NAVI GPU
- 16-20GB GDDR6 RAM
- 1TB SSD

yup that seems aboyut right, could see Anaconda with a bit higher gpu, but otherwise yup.

I might stick with Nintendo for next gen if Sony/MS comes out with 8-10TF machines. X1X will have to do for traditional consoles.

I've been thinking 20GB with 16GB for games for awhile for realistic expectations.

Could be 16GB with 12GB for games too. I'm just trying to stay realistic and just be surprised by anything more.

The thing is with these specs, what's going to be point in adding more specs on anaconda?
The pro and the 1x had specific things which justified why they were more expensive.
But unless there is a specific thing, a more expensive console seems pointless.
If MS are going just for a small spec boost just to be the big dick, they would probably just have like an SSD and 2 more 2flops for $50 more.
If they are going to charge $100 more it has to be for something substantial.

image from page..nice

I found the CPU codes for ps4 and Xbox One

PS4: DG1000FGF84HT
PS4 Pro: DG1201SLF87HW

Xbox one: DG3001FEG84HR
Xbox one S: DG4001FYG87IA

Anubis SoC: 1G5211T8A87E9

Leak: 2G16002CE8JA2

So I'm not even sure this SoC is for console and even if it is the case it is very difficult to decode as each company code differently.

I don't see Lockhart having less RAM. RAM is one of those things that has a huge effect on game development, and would cause development issues for games if one of Microsoft's console has 12 GB while the PS5 and Microsoft's other console have more.

If Lockhart is the stripped down unit, I see CPU and RAM being the same as the PS5 and Anaconda. I'm guessing the cost savings will occur with the weaker GPU, smaller/slower hard drive, and possibly the absence of a disc drive.

There's literally nothing in the leak that says the GPU will be 8TF. Even if the clock speed is 1GHz, the CU count is unknown. We also don't have a lot of info on Navi in general, so it's really early to start making any sort of performance claims based on an unconfirmed clock speed.

No time for rational thinking here, mordecaii83.

It's probably Sony,semi custom design,see the tweets Anex and i posted earlier today.

Still hopeful for a 12TF GPU for a fall 2020 release.
The CPU jump is certainly better than I anticipated though.
I'm guessing we're also looking at 16GB GDDR6..

There are some weird reactions going around in this thread right now. I think expecting PS5 to be an 8TF machine is a good way to level expectations. If it comes in higher, that's great! It shouldn't come in lower, so that's also great! As always, the games are most important here and FLOP count isn't the only factor here.

Not quite following here. 8TF because of a 4.2TF Pro?

Also, Sony has been quite clear on the necessities of generational leaps and the concept of generations so I doubt that PS4 Pro with jaguar could be the base for next gen for them.


Thanks!

I mean its unlikely it will be 8tflop.
I think it will be min of 10tflops.

The patcher comment was in jest, because he gets so much wrong.

On a side note.

Has anyone considered MS might do

Lockhart
6tflop gpu
8 core zen
12gb gddr6
$299

PS5
10TFLOP gpu
8 core zen
16gb gddr6
$399

Anaconda
10tflop gpu
8core zen
16gddr6
$399?

I think scarlett will be 12TF, 1TB SSD, and possibly more RAM.

Honestly, this scenario is definitely worth considering. I think most (myself included) assume that Microsoft is pleased with the results of the One X at $499 and will do whatever is feasible with a box in that price range. As a result, we're estimating higher on specs. In theory though, you have a good point about Microsoft not necessarily getting more performance out of an extra $100 on MSRP at launch. The One X needed an extra year in the oven over PS4 Pro as well as some heavy customization to make that price worth it.

There's also the fact that next-gen is a chance for Microsoft to win back some marketshare. So it doesn't seem crazy that they'd try to hit a reasonable price on both models.

But what would be the point in adding more ram when it's only 2tflops more?
And what is the goal of adding more RAM and a SSD?
If its $50 more then I get it, but if its $100 its got to have some higher purpose.
higher profit. and they can make it look more premium console. the fact MS went for a multiple sku approach in the first place made it seem like they are not really interested in subsidizing a whole lot.
