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

Confirmation is great.. would like to see how 3rd parties use it.
I would like to see a new Battlefield at launch (Think 4, rather than 5) with 100 player CQ matches, with updated graphics and at 4K. I think thats very doable.

Fucking hallelujah! I'd rather pay $499 (ala $599 AUD) and have it for the entire generation.
Yes, the Ryzen 3700x
But the ps5 cpu will be a different, lower clocked, 8c/16t
They're already touting 8K capabilities of the PS5 and tv manufactures are going to try to sell us new sets somehow.
The PS4 Pro draws ~150w in intense games, the Xbox One X draws ~170 in intense games.
The 3700X desktop chips (probably a very close silicon match to what's shipping, varying mostly on clock speeds) draws about ~90w with PBO disabled, or 110W with it enabled.
The Navi 5700 draws ~170w when highly stressed.
It wouldn't be crazy to expect the CPUs to run around the ~2.8-3GHz mark, imo. It really depends on how of a power hog they're willing to ship the base consoles as, and how much they want to dedicate to the GPU + Storage requirements. I'm expecting an ultrafast Gen4+ SSD to suck up a few watts when stressed, for sure. That's still ~1+ GHz below where the desktop chips run at, but 2GHz seems low for CPU. I'm sort of expecting them to push closer to the 200w range.
Yep. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to use reconstruction / checkerboarding in place of native 4k.
Lol, that's optimistic of you. The $599 60GB PS3 was $999 AU in 2006 (equivalent to ~$770 US at the time). The $499 model was $829 AU (and the AUD was stronger then).
That goes into the customizations I mentioned in my following post, especially considering that the PS5 will have hardware-based ray-tracing.
$500 seems like the most realistic price considering the hardware. I am excited that this seems to be a pretty significant leap from current gen.
Ah, right.
That 3.2GHz figure is the boost clock, IIRC, which I don't think is going to be a factor in either console, especially since it refers to use cases where only one or two cores are engaged. The "Flute" leak suggests an all-core clock speed of 1.6GHz, but I'm sure AMD can go much higher -- just not all the way to 3.2GHz. Somewhere between 2.5GHz and 3GHz, I'd say.
More like £500
Even If it's priced at $399 that'll likely convert to £400 which still seems quite expensive...
Damn you exchange rate
No, just because core counts are there doesn't mean that it'll be the same as a desktop processor. If they're going to keep that form factor and that price down, it's going to be much lower in clock speed. So the advertising might be great for core counts and whatever else, but it's going to be up to developers to properly multi-thread there games which is still a much larger issue than it should be on PC.
8K TVs needs to be at specific BIG sizes... not as easy as 4K TVs.
Next gen will focus entirely on 4K.
All games will be 60fps for the first couple years because of cross gen tho.
It would have been shocking and a bad sign had this not been confirmed.
Of course it won't even be close, no.
Of course it won't even be close, no.
I figured it would be underclocked for thermal reasons, but I was mainly speaking in terms of the closest comparison we can make right now (hence the use of the word "equivalent").
Offttt I was basing it off the xbone release price... I hope I'm right and you're wrong haha.
Another reason PS3 and earlier backwards compatability would be beneficial to PS5 is PS Now. It makes the library improve tenfold for people that cant or don't want to stream in an instant.
Closest consumer chip, sure. How Sony/Microsoft (presumably) pulled this off so quickly is impressive as the third gen Ryzen stuff came out really recently. I'd still expect about 60% of the performance of the 3700X (at base clock), realistically speaking.
The Jaguar on consoles are 8C/8T, and yeah 8C/16T Zen 2 is pretty close to 7x jump.
EDIT: Assuming the console Zen 2 CPUs are running at 3.2 GHz.
A bit slower, due to lower clock speeds than 3700X.
Someone explain this in Shounen Power levels and preferably not with Dragonball since I never watched it
i just got my oled this year so the more native 4k games we get next gen the better. It is kind of interesting that we kind of skipped native 1080p across the board even on base ps4
Yeah, I wasn't aware the Ryzen Mobile 3000 series is just a Zen+ refresh, as modiz kindly pointed out. I can certainly see the final clock speed of a Zen 2-based mobile APU landing somewhere between 2.5GHz and 3GHz.
