Honestly, I'm really digging the Series X design. I would want that in my living room.

and my bedroom

It really looks like an Alexa speaker or Homepod, which evokes an AI feature controlled by the voice. Kind of funny how things come full circle.

I think the naming is on point for a change. Better than 360 and One, those were terrible names.

It actually sounds like a dedicated gaming device now.

We've had consoles this generation that brought forward features from the next iteration of GCN without adopting every feature. So it's clear that some aspects of the next RDNA (2? 1.1?) made it in, but not whether it is literally based on the complete new design. I'd suspect more the former than the latter but if they did pick up literally everything then that could explain why the Series X dev kit timeline is a little different from the PS5.

That way of reading the tea leaves suggests that the two designs would have diverged at some point, so Sony could have different ray tracing and power optimization work. It will be fascinating to see how this all shakes out! I can't wait for February to arrive.

Good points, I think the delay has something to do with rdna2, the CES is in a month, we will leave doubts.

Hmm not sure. The rebirth video had the most realistic lighting, but I think it at least matches those two.

Oh wow, new thread!

When OT7 was created not so long ago, I thought for sure it would be the last one of 2019.

Then yesterday the Monolith was revealed.

Something wonderful will happen.

Clearly the design is centered around performance first, thermals and acoustics being front and center.

Makes me wonder what form factor Sony will adopt if it's has similar performance.

7nm+ is 7nm EUV.

Next year's console is probably 7nm performance / n7p, which should be 7-10% additional clock speed over the 7nm in the 5700XT.

I've read that 7nm+ has a density but not a perf advantage over n7p, as in you're not getting TDP savings for some # of transistors.
techpowerup says its probably 7nm EUV.

that said, given the massive massive console, and the ps5 prototype design it seems both consoles are going with 7nm gpus.

Series X will be big, but, how much? any published or estimated data about measurements? Couldn't catch up with all the articles and info. Thanks, the best pundits are always on resetera.
