Sounds like an underclocked 3700 then. I'm thinking $400 with a $500 sku with higher storage which would be a hell of a deal but the market seems pretty price sensitive above that.
Sort of in the same boat, but I have a 6700k. Maybe late 2020 is when I upgrade. What video card are you using btw?I guess I'll be retiring my 4-core, 4-thread 6600k in the near future then. Maybe the Zen 3 processors will be out by next-gen.
We know a lot more about the PS5 now than we did for the PS4 at the same time before its launch.Still waiting for Sony to tell us something about this damn console, all this silence has me before concerned
I'm more interested in what Guerrilla Games will do with that power.
Don't go giving them ideas.Getting ready for the next Skyrim re-release with ray tracing and no load screens.
It will be a custom APU made specifically for PS5. It will have the same amount of cores as some Zen2 desktop parts and the core architecture will be very similar to Zen2 obviously but it certainly won't be a same part as anything available in PC space. Not that it matters much but still.
Aren't those CPUs going to be outdated again in like 2 years. Just like the ps4's.Expected, but welcomed.
We need off these shitty CPUs both consoles are running.

From my rough tests: Ryzen 7 3700X CPU alone consumes about 63W under full load and worst-case scenario being 79W at 3.2 GHz under Prime95 stress test. Keep in mind though that this power consumption results may not be 100% representative of the CPU inside PS5, as it is highly likely that their CPUs will be heavily tuned/clocked lower to meet the console manufacturers' power consumption requirements and as such the max power consumption of the 8C/16T CPU inside consoles may not even be close to what I just found using the desktop counterpart.

If this means that i can use ALL my ps4 games i currently have with possible upgrade of even ps pro level then its day one for me especially at 499 or lower!! Does everybody think this is the case.
Jaguar is such a pile of shit Mobile CPU that I cannot even say. Also it is only 8 cores no threading. This leap to Ryzen 3000/Zen 2 8C 16T APU is gonna be a huge one for the CPU.
With this... yep, one version of PS5 for the entire generation is pretty well given now ( of course slim version mid gen but no pro ).
im sure they'll find something to rip off.can you even begin to imagine what ND can pull with this kind of power?
Zen 2 is the codename of the CPU architecture. And Ryzen is the actual name of the AMD's CPU lineup.What is the difference between Zen 2 and Ryzen?
Dumb question, I know.

Zen is 1st gen Ryzen released in 2017
Zen+ is 2nd gen Ryzen released in 2018
Zen 2 is 3rd gen Ryzen released this year in July
Yup.Yeah, no reason why this shouldn't be a 499 console in a time where we pay 1000+ for a smartphone.

Everyone who keeps bringing this up is only setting themselves up for disappointment. Especially in regards to the PS3.The cherry on top would be PS1, PS2, and PS3 backward compatibility. plz Sony ;)
What PS3 games are even out there that folks would want? I think it is just easier to want PS2, PS4 and PS5 games working on it. Most other stuff has gotten remasters or remakes.Everyone who keeps bringing this up is only setting themselves up for disappointment. Especially in regards to the PS3.

Yes, it's absolutely a joke. Poking fun at the concern from the last couple GI articles/threads.I'm just going to assume this is a joke or obscure reference of some sort.
Lots of them.
This isn't true. I know it seemed like there were huge numbers of remasters - most especially near the beginning of this generation - but there was a huge number of PS3 releases. Only a fraction of them have gotten remasters.
How much did we know? I recall that a few months before the PlayStation Meeting where the PS4 was introduced, there were some rumors regarding 4GB/8GB of GDDR5 which was quickly dismissed by many users of the old forum, because it was and I'm quoting: "impossible for a console to get 8GB of GDDR5 at a $399/$499 pricepoint".
Other than that, the DS4 was leaked even earlier I recall.
Just a small correction, Split Second is on Xbox One and PC though, you can play it in modern hardware.Lots of them.
Let me just pick one genre to illustrate - racing games.
Some racing games that aren't available on modern machines but are available on PS3 include:
Gran Turismo 5 and 6. GT Sport exists, of course, but GTs 5 and 6 represent the last single-player focused GT games released, and both have way more cars than GT Sport.
The Motorstorm games. There's nothing like them on PS4 and with Evolution having been closed they won't be on PS5 either.
Outrun Online Arcade. Licensing issues will most likely prevent this appearing as a new release on PS5.
Split/Second: Velocity. A somewhat niche racer (developer also shut down). Available on PS Now but would be better to have locally.
ModNation Racers/LBP Karting. They're not great racing games but they have unsurpassed track design tools. There's nothing else like these games on PS4.
FUEL - stupidly huge open world racing game. This isn't a particularly great game but again, there's nothing really like it.
Ridge Racer 7. At the moment it's the last traditional-style home console Ridge Racer game.
Daytona. Another classic arcade racer - a subgenre which is quite lacking on PS4.
The list could go on for a while - I've left off a lot of more obscure stuff and some games that I don't really know a lot about. This is just one genre and I suspect the list could be pretty easily doubled in size.
This isn't true. I know it seemed like there were huge numbers of remasters - most especially near the beginning of this generation - but there was a huge number of PS3 releases. Only a fraction of them have gotten remasters.
Indeed, and the same might be true for other games on the list. The question I'm answering isn't about games that can't be played on modern hardware though, it's about what PS3 games people might want to play again. Someone with a PS3 copy of Split/Second and a PS5 might be happy to be able to play on PS5 if that was possible, but might not be all that interested in the idea of buying a new Xbox machine and an Xbox copy of the game just to play it.Just a small correction, Split Second is on Xbox One and PC though, you can play it in modern hardware.
Well considering I can get Xbox exclusives on my PC, I'd just get the PS5.Let's suppose we are heading Holiday 2020 and both consoles, PS5 and Xbox scarlett are very similar in power, specs, etc.
BUT one costs 499 and the other one 599. Without specifying which one costs more than the other, would you choose brand over the price?
Zen is the architecture.What is the difference between Zen 2 and Ryzen?
Dumb question, I know.
No. They aren't going to be the fastest thing around, but this is significantly better than the PlayStation 4, relative to what it launched with.Aren't those CPUs going to be outdated again in like 2 years. Just like the ps4's.
