i shouldve worded it better. i was trying to make the point that its by no means a mid range CPU.
They were happy to ditched the PS3 and welcomed good development tools.
They can change resistance and apply force to simulate various types of feedback.
The guy is so pissed Sony wired had the exclusivity, what a spoiled child behavior.
The hell does Sony need to go big. It's just hyping up the enthusiasts and letting word of mouth do the rest. Marketing for the casuals will come later.
Someone confirmed PS5 devkit design and was wiped from the internet, it is not really encouraging to speak (and with 0 benefit whatsoever).
I'm looking for a bit more technical answer, just a little bit not a lot. So how does it apply that force? Is it like a rubber band that gets tighter or looser situation?
The first batch of games, probably. Ray traced shadow is already a good news, it is a big problem on console ATM.
lol, reading replies it looks like he just misses the cell chip.
What would HBM3 cost? And why would anyone need that much bandwidth with SSD also in play?
Yeah, and he's a huge cell chip fanboy.
Ahhh ok,. Thank you for explaining it to me.
Cost: What do guys think HBM3 will cost? It will be new tech. New tech tends to be priced higher as OEM's look to recoup development fees before passing benefits to consumers. Traditionally, consoles have never gone with the best RAM setup available, nor targeted the highest speed chips. Costs matter. This is why I was of the opinion that even Microsoft will not go bat shit crazy ages ago........you want to build a mass market product at a cost that you can sell it at.
Sony did not confirm CPU cores until yesterday. They did not confirm hardware ray tracing until yesterday. So there really is nothing strange just the same way that Microsoft has not confirmed some stuff too?
One of the key things about HBM3 is that it's supposed to be cheaper than HBM2. There is also the fact that more companies other than Samsung are starting up HBMmanufacturing which also means it gets cheaper to make. Then there was that whole interposer less patent thing or whatever that was that would further bring the price down
HBM3 that you are talking about is not even in production, unless I have missed something. If this console was to come out this year and got delayed because of BC, why on earth would they be building it around a RAM type that is not yet even out?
Digital Foundry has said that due to the makeup of these new consoles the tflops count is not going to be as relevant as it used to be. It's worth pointing out that neither Microsoft or Sony has gone on record with a number, and the reason for that is likely that the number itself may not be all that high (let's say 10ish), but in reality it may perform better than the number would indicate on paper. At least that's the way the Digital Foundry guys described it in a video I recall watching a while back.
To both of you...
