this would fit with MS talking about their SSD as virtual ram while cerny is talking about the SSD as a means of eliminating loading and streaming assets as fast as possible.
I still think it is pretty funny how things instantly settled down the moment he said that lol.
Which brings us back to the need to copy game data between storage devices which means that a big SSD won't be a good solution.
why not? with a big SSD you can just have the OS swap out the games that were not used for the longest time, just save the startup date of all game applications within the SSD.
This is essentially what I was suggesting a couple of pages back. But people here seem to think that a 1TB+ ultrafast SSD would be cheaper than a smaller one and an upgradeable HDD.
i do think they will go with a singular SSD though, just have an external spot to insert external drive and then apply my suggestion in the case that the SSD is full.
i agree on that, having high reads seem more important, and if we are really getting ~5GB/s read speed, the loadingless future sony wants might be a reality with only 4 seconds needed to fill the memory, all sounds really exciting.
I think PS3 will be a E3 megaton announcement but I definitely don't think they will have the entire PS library on PS5. I'm definitely just dreaming with that.
Nah, but I can respect your interpretation. 🙏🏾
The outcome would be the same as some wouldn't able to resist to console warring in the "other" thread. It is us members that make threads bad, not the topic of a thread!
sony wont do it like MS, they will just use an emulator and say that it may or may not work, the games they got verified as working and fully licensed will be sold on the store.

funny thing is... talk like this is exactly what makes things like console waring a thing... and in fairness the post you replied to. Points that contribute in no way whatsoever to the topic of next-gen consoles. Be it their tech, their strategies or their features... instead a post dedicated to the whole us vs them nonsense.
that wont happen, there will probably be around 1TB of SSD internally, and you could add the additional storage externally, but for every game that is not on the SSD you will need to wait for the system to copy the game to the SSD and replaced it with the last game you didnt play on the SSD.
I meant something similar to NVIDIA's solution in the RTX series, a small part of the CU is designed to handle RT and most of the CU is the usual rasterization machine that we are used to seeing. Every CU has some part which is dedicated to RT, just like NVIDIA's SM:
I do think Microsoft is using this solution. Sony? Less likely.
HDD might be 35$, but if you have a 256GB SSD instead of a 1TB one? It will probably compensate for that 35$ difference. A 2.5" 2TB HDD is ~70$ for the consumer today, I'm guessing that Sony and Microsoft can buy it for a lot less than that.
Nothing is factual other than the things we got from Sony and MS. All stuff from Andrew Reiner or Matt is still unconfirmed and due to it not a fact.
Becareful vx1 doesn't see 499 lol

that is why you were too late ;p
Speaking of PS5 :)
Haha I have him on block so I don't see him when he posts .I knew it XD
I think the main reason why Phil didnt reveal the tflops number is because he knows he can always increase the clocks to gain massive gains in performance or at least in tflops numbers. i dont know if they can go from 1.55 ghz to 1.8 ghz without making major changes to the SOC, but we will see. i think they will be able to get 1.7 ghz and 12 tflops.
We have different opinion which leads to nonsense discussion .I m 100% sure he has also put me on ignore list anyways .he doesn't see what I post and I don't see what he posts and we don't need to argue for pages lol
