All considered ps4 wasn't that subpar console. Look at the Xbone base performance and again, how ps4 still can handle decent performance compared even the more "brute force" of the ps360 hardware in their last years. That's remarkable with such "dated" hardware.
That's essentially why we're getting these consoles in more than a year from now despite all the tech they'll use already being available now.
Not because it was a cube.
Actually with next gen, they should be able to do 4K@30fps and always give the option for 4K.cb@60fps.
I don' think he's wrong.
Like I said, the jump in CPU is enough that it could be feasible to emulate given that Sony have first hand knowledge of the intricacies of the cell. Also if they do want to build out their streaming portfolio, how much sense will it make to keep producing old hardware vs newer hardware that could serve games from all their previous consoles in one unit?
I see what your saying now. So could we still have a PS3-PS4 sized GPU jump with these factors counted?
Have you considered that late 2020 is the only way they can even hit these specs at a $499 price point?
Can you explain that pls? is that dollar/mm2? I mean that can't be right cause it would mean a 350mm2 7nm chip would cost around $1400!!!!
Or cents... I think cents makes much more sense. That brings it to like $140.
Yup. But this is also a snapshot in time. We know 7nm yields are on a very favorable trajectory.
It's like your desire for $399 is making you will them into making extremely gimpish choices.
The same few people who pushed ps5 will be November 2019 despite all the facts and people saying 2020 is now pushing 399 despite everyone hinting at 499.granted Sony might do 449 but 399 is gone big time .
Ok, so what your saying is that TFLOPS are a truly meaningless way of comparing power? And that the actual difference in power is much more difficult to calculate?
Smaller custom soldered SSD (128-256 GBs) acting as a user transparent cache and a scratch pad memory plus a replaceable 2-4 TB HDD would be my current bet. Games would copy the data needed for streaming to SSD at first launch and reuse this copy on consequtive launches. This data would be gradually overwritten by next games you'll launch. Most people don't play more than a couple of games at the same time and it would be a waste to use SSD just for data storage.
I feel if it was mixed they wouldn't focused so much or talk on it mthey would mention it but not to this degree . So speculate it's a pure custom SSD that works with external HDD to copy it on sdd
True but ps5 will be feature rich as Sony CEO mentioned hehe .both x and ps will be 450 pounds this time around .Sony might do a 400 pound shock and take a bit more loss but that's the max I feel.
The problem with that is that it will end up costing more than just going with a 1TB SSD soldered directly into the PCB. It's also an all-around more complicated system. Furthermore such a setup all but guarantees that whoever does it cannot run with a no loading times slogan. Cause all you have to do is trying playing a game from your HDD that's like number 5/6 on the last played queue and boom... loading times.
Not in every game you can traverse big city with spiderman web swing speed ;)
So say hypothetically the PS5 has an irreplaceable SSD capable of at least 4,000 MB/s, that would be a 200x increase in speed for Insomniac to work with. That would be insane.
