Prolly 1 core reserved to the OS and the rest for games. The secondary CPU will only handle background tasks, just like the PS4Any chance all 8 are available for games and perhaps have a secondary cpu to deal with OS?

HZD is still the best looking game this gen for me, and imo last gen KZ2/KZ3 were the best looking too.
Any loss Sony takes on the ps5 they will make up in plus subscriptions, ps now subs, and psn. They'll sell a $499 system for $399, and make it up easily.
I'm more curious about clock speeds. Will they play it safe as consoles tend to do?
Not even an 8th of one. GTX 1080 is capable of >8.9tflops.
Intel's best CPU with 18 cores, (reminder Intel>AMD on a per-core basis), can barely manage 1tflop by itself.
Wait 'til we know about PS5 GPU before asking about comparisons to PC GPU's lol.
Do you really want every game hamstrung by having to work on a lesser machine?
To hell with that.
Give us one beastly bastard of a console and have it be the best it can be for a reasonable price.
What about only one version at 399$ and stop giving these companies ideas on how to get more money from us
I'm not so sure console makers will ever sell systems at a loss ever again. Especially after the PS3.
I'm very curious to see what price we're getting but I'd totally be down for a $599 again, though I know I'm in the small minority.
399 USD, and Sony will cut whatever corners they need to to get there, if they're not willing to take the hit.
AnotherDayAnotherDollar I can hardly imagine they return to a linear not super popular shooter after the success of Horizon Zero Dawn. HZD has much more appeal to the big public and people love Aloy. There will be no Killzone.
I wish I understood this techno babble better to know what all this means and if it's a big deal. I assume it's a solid situation for the PS5, which excites me for both it and the next Xbox as their competition with each other ups the ante as to what can be delivered to us.
Don't want to go off topic or start some useless console war argument but do you guys think announcing details like this is potentially risky in any form? Like, could MS learn of this and push their developers/designers/whatever to deliver an even stronger system comparatively?
PS4 and Xbone use low-power netbook CPU.I wish I understood this techno babble better to know what all this means and if it's a big deal.
Central console hardware is cast in stone since a while ago. Both companies can only tweak clocks, or maybe increase ammount of RAM.Don't want to go off topic or start some useless console war argument but do you guys think announcing details like this is potentially risky in any form?

PS5 and Scarlett will use top of the line high-performance desktop CPU. If it is easier for you, we are getting an equivalent of new Intel i7 CPU in new consoles.

I wonder if they will keep that pricing looking at how the sterlin has fallen.Cits got $499 written all over it....Nailed on...My original prediction was maybe they could squeeze it out at $449...$499 it is. £450 UK.

Should be less than 4x to 4k, due to buffer compression and bigger polygons having better performance. (Less variance between pixels better compression and pigger polygons being smaller than a pixel quad and thus increased performance.)What kind of bus speed does 8k need to have for the GPU/RAM? Anyone know?
For instance the gtx 1070 can play games at 4k but at 30 or lower FPS due to limitations on memory speeds.
Wtf is this going to use?
It's never wasted =) Plenty of games on PC that aren't on console. Plenty of ways to play cross-platform games on PC that consoles can't (mods most notably).Hahaha I just wanna know because I bought a PC last year and I don't want the money to be wasted.
Wouldn't surprise me if GG has a launch game ready, but I expect it to be Killzone 4. IIRC they specifically said Shadowfall was not Killzone 4 and I am sure they want to continue that franchise. HZD 2 probably in 2022 or so.
You put the PS5 at 399 then it'll be another major loss leader for Sony. I think $499 is an okay expectation with $549/599 a possible one as well. I am personally expecting it to be $499 with Sony eating a loss at launch, probably around $100. It will sell like hotcakes if it's indeed a beast that it seems to be and it has plenty of big games at launch. I think both Sony and MS will be bringing some big games at launch.
think the price will be £399.99 in the UK. Anything over £400 is a much tougher sell to people and they're likely going to have much stronger competition from Microsoft this time around.
I'd be surprised if they had another Killzone title for launch as it wasn't a huge critical success and I imagine they'd want games that don't carry the weight of a mediocre previous entry as their launch titles. Same goes for Knack!

I don't think this makes much sense, to be honest. Killzone got four major chances to be successful (I'm assuming nobody expected Liberation or Mercenary to rack up major sales) and although it never really failed, it also never took off. Unless I'm missing some major Killzone sales milestone announcement, It looks like Horizon exceeded the sales of any Killzone game on its first go. It's clearly a more appealing series and it'd be mystifying for them to make a fifth major Killzone (and seventh game in the series) ahead of a second Horizon game.Wouldn't surprise me if GG has a launch game ready, but I expect it to be Killzone 4.

Both consoles will be £499 imo. What MS have going for them is Gamepass which should shave about an additional £100 off the cost though pending MS release more then Halo Infinite (they usually release more the 1 first party game at launch).I'd be surprised if they had another Killzone title for launch as it wasn't a huge critical success and I imagine they'd want games that don't carry the weight of a mediocre previous entry as their launch titles.

Something in the ballpark of Radeon RX 5700 seems likely. But with RT cores.Just built my computer last year, and I'm wondering whether to pull my hair out and prepare to upgrade or leave things be. I haven't been keeping up with every post, but do we have any idea what the likely GPU will be?
So if I was wanting to run multiplat titles for next-gen at 1440p, 60 fps maxed out, are we thinking I'd need to upgrade from an i5 8600k OC'd to 4.8 Ghz?
I7? those configurations in laptops are like $1700! I'm looking at. Surface right now.PS4 and Xbone use low-power netbook CPU.

sure this this is gonna costs $500??! I'm guessing it might be $600
I still feel like an idiot trying to understand this but I thank you for giving me a better understanding.
