Expected, but welcomed.
We need off these shitty CPUs both consoles are running.

PlayStation 5 Confirmed To Sport 8 Cores / 16 Threads CPU; Full Reveal Coming Next Year

We need off these shitty CPUs both consoles are running.
Does it really matter how the BC is handled? The expectation has always been the BC on older ps generations will be done through an emulator.
Sure, but the reality is they would lose a decent amount of sales from having no PS4 back-compat, yet lose hardly any sales by omitting PS1/2/3 back-compat.
The further back you go, the more niche (yet no doubt still vocal) the desire for back compat.
Jaguar on consoles is 8C/8T, and i assume the jump is around 6x in CPU power
I'm going to be upset if there's is no PS3 emulation. There has to be. No way they are going to have those unpractical PS3 server blades for PS NOW around forever.
As expected. The big question is clock speed. Current Ryzen Mobile processors have a base clock of 2.3GHz, but the core configuration maxes out at 4c/8t, so it's very possible the PS5 and Nextbox processors will land closer to 2GHz (I don't expect either will support boost clocks).

Hopefully this cpu leap finally allows 60 fps to become the standard, not the exception, on consoles
Don't count out the (stupidly unnecessary) push for 8k.
sony surprised everyone/loads by announcing 8gb GDDR5 for the ps4 too.
I know it's a custom CPU, but as for retail market AMD Zen 2 Ryzens, only the 3700, 3700x, 3800x models have eight cores. Gosh that'd be better than the 2600 I bought last year :_:
R7 based.
Ryzen 3 chips are 4 cores, 4 threads
Ryzen 5 chips are 4-6 cores, 8-12 threads
Ryzen 7 chips are 8 cores, 16 threads
Ryzen 9 chips are 12-16 cores, 24-32 threads
My Ryzen 7 3700X is ready for next-gen!
No, fps is a design decision. Developers will likely choose to spend those cycles on a more complex world.
The consoles are based off the desktop chip this time, as the mobile ryzen 3000 chips are still based off zen+ instead of zen 2.
And the leaks so far have suggested 3.2GHz clock, which matches power consumption tests that were done with an underclocked ryzen 3700X.
Speaking in terms of 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs with 8 cores, the Ryzen 7 is the closest match (obviously with customizations). Also, isn't it less expensive to buy the parts in bulk?
I would of been totally cool with Last of Us 2 being a launch title instead.
Cool, thanks. Next gen should finally offer up decent crowds and AI.
PS1 had 2 MB
PS2 had 16x2=32 MB
PS3 had 16x32=512 MB
PS4 had 16x512=8192 MB
So the only logical answer for PS5 is 16x8192=131072 MB or 128 GB of RAM.
You heard it here first.
Yep, and just because the CPU could handle 60fps, doesn't mean the GPU can with whatever graphics they're going to be pushing next gen.
Well it's cheaper in bulk right, also I may be talking out of my ass but I feel like I saw rumors of Sony getting an amazing deal for AMD cpus
They might, but obviously Sony doesn't pay the same for a CPU when they buy 50 million, as we do for 1.
Well, a full reveal being next year is to-be expected, I just wonder how far apart the PS5 and Xbox will be released. Will it be just 1 week apart like last time?
So right now, the corresponding desktop CPU would be Ryzen 7 3700X, currently $330 on BestBuy. Sure, consoles are different, but it's nice to have something to compare to.

I actually helped my little brother with his Mini-ITX build with a Ryzen 7 3700X & a Radeon 5700XT not too long ago.
it will, but I think they will eat the loss, PS3 launch was disastrous because of mainly pricing.
But how will they handle Vita games that use the front touch screen?, and the rear touch pad is a whole other story.
