Keep in mind what Kaz said just before PS Meeting invites went out.

He implied they were waiting for Xbox to make their move, then BAM — See the future.

This.

GDC is like what first week of March. Shit is going to leak like crazy. So I expect some kind of wired article or maybe they due a pre-recorded event like Nintendo did. Then they have a tone of time after that to figure the price and all that shit.

Then in August/ September they show off the console/price/launch games. And there you go.
GDC is late March, but yes.

You believe PS5 is being shown tomorrow, or that the invites for upcoming event are tomorrow? I just want to make sure I am on the right page.

Would love so y to go for an industry shattering ps1 type megaton move. Announce PS5 at same price as lockheart. Now the more powerful Xbox is too expensive and lockheart is made irrelevant. MS couldn't drop price of more powerful version to match their weak one. PS5 being same price as lockheart and being way stronger. Boom

that's how you play the game

Get owned Microsoft!

Oh, and what makes you so sure of that? Got any Navi10Lite GPUs to show that it lacks RT?

I do not believe that the PS5 lacks RT. What I do believe is that it lacks DEDICATED RT hardware. It may have hardware that can accelerate RT, but said hardware is not purpose built for accelerating RT. This differs from the SeX which uses RDNA2/Big Navi and does have dedicated RT hardware

Your beliefs do not matter as it's clear what Cerny has said.

Why does the bolded always happen with Playstation? Also 2020 hits again! :). Déjà vu and all that jazz.

I'm only looking at the cold hard facts and data. Of course I cannot see the future.
  • Oberon is Navi10Lite
  • Navi10 (RDNA1) lacks dedicated RT hardware
  • Sony said PS5 has HW RT
  • Therefor it must have some degree of HW acceleration for RT, but not dedicated HW for RT
  • SeX has 56CU
  • "Little Navi" (Navi10) taps out at 40 CU
  • SeX must be "Big Navi" then
  • Lisa Su recently confirmed "Big Navi" uses next-gen RDNA (RDNA2) (https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd-confirms-high-end-navi-gpu-2020-ray-tracing)
  • AMD's RT roadmap they revealed at E3 2019 says that next gen RDNA (RDNA2) will have dedicated RT hardware

  • Therefor SeX must be using RDNA2 and has dedicated RT HW
Make sense?
The Sex is not usong rdna2

Oh but it is. See above, as well as the confirmation of hardware VRS, which is currently not supported in RDNA1.
I am trying to get an idea as to how much more computationally capable they are compared to existing Jaguars in the enhanced consoles clocked at 2.13 and 2.3 GHz in Pro and X, respectively.

Insofar as cache size is concerned, iirc, there is speculation that it may get quartered from 32MB (desktop) to 8MB. So, when all is said and done, how much better is it compared to 8c/8t *Clarkson voice* Jaaaaaaag..?

Oh I see. Much, much more. Especially in the single threaded department. Zen2 has a higher IPC than Coffee Lake R. I think this should speak for itself:

According to Gamestop, the xbox series x is using a custom new AMC Processor.

Wouldn't Sony lose a ridiculous amount of money doing that, and with no new sub to help the damage?

Why do you want the industry to be noncompetitive? I'm honestly confused by this line of thinking

My beliefs agree with Cerny though? I've read the Wired interview multiple times due to my interest in PS5. He says that the PS5 has RT support! Just like what I think! He does NOT say that RT is done with dedicated hardware.

If you want to continue on this path, go for it, I'm not engaging any further.

Are you really? Lots of assumptions and twisting and turning to fit your own thought process.

Thx for sharing!

I think the speculation of bdsams is a little bit off. Could be a proprietary exNVMe card solution. Don't think the technology he mentions is not fast enough for the speed that is required with next gen consoles (but not checked yet entirely, just a quick thought). Still good to hear that this expansion slot/interface exists!

Edit:
Checked.
CFexpress could indeed the way to go but I did not find information about IOPS specifically and if the card somes with its own controller. Main differentiator if you could use standard crExpress cards or you have to opt for proprietary cards.

You literally found the meme of my reaction on the news from the PlayStation web page. Add gloating though ;)

Who and where? And how do you explain the 56 CU and the hardware VRS support then? Right now I see overwhelming evidence in favor of SeX using RDNA2
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/12/12/microsoft-unveils-xbox-series-x/ - Note the use of "next generation RDNA, the same language used by AMD to describe their upcoming GPUs with dedicated RT HW.

Anyone still arguing about whether the PS5 have HW RT or not is a troll. Sony has been clear on this, and the only reason to be pedantic about it is to troll/do not-so-subtle console warring.

No.

A. "Navi 10 Lite" obviously isn't Navi 10 so you can't say that it lacks anything since it's a different chip.
B. There is no "degree of h/w acceleration for RT". You either have RT h/w or not. Navi 10 doesn't and therefore it doesn't support RT - which can clearly be witnessed in PC space right now.
C. There are more Navi GPUs than "Little Navi" and "Big Navi". Also Navi 10 isn't "little" by any metric imaginable.
D. XSX won't be based on "Big Navi" and we don't know if it will use RDNA2 or not.

Assumptions? Ok, let's walk through this one step at a time with sources:
Where are these "assumptions and twisting and turning"?
