PS5 Speculation |OT12| - Aw hell, Transistor's running this again?

I honestly don't see how anything has changed in terms of what the GitHub leak showed, but the second I saw the Series X specs go up I knew it would dominate discussion in this thread. Can't wait for the thread split at this point, Sony probably won't talk for a while but hopefully they'll put their spec sheet out before the GDC streams since it might leak anyways (reason I think MS did it today). PS5 has a lower BOM but is a full tflop more powerful? I just don't see it, especially since nothing has ever shown it to be Sony's goal. They never go for the power crown, but instead focus on a balance between price and performance first.
Lol you sound like the crazy leader of some anti Sony group in a Saturday morning cartoon
Sure, but many devs are likely to compress further on the disk, since storage space is at a premium. Remember, next-gen games are still going to have to fit on 100 GB BDs. There's no way many developers won't use heavier compression algorithms. They definitely are now.
It looks highly modular with simple large blocks; inside a simple case. No real nooks or crannies.
Opening up a PS4 Pro by comparison is a nightmare and I can imagine assembly is a lot more complex.
You know that wasn't the real insides? I mean it was in the fact it looks like that but those were magnets that snapped together real easy for a demo purpose
I don't give a shit about who is on top in the end, but the feel of reveals versus last gen's spec drops. It's unreal. Oh, PS4 isn't 2.4 Tflops? That's a bummer. Maybe Xbox will...wait, WHAT?!
This time it's fuck yeah, raytracing, SSD, sure, fucking 3.8 GHz CPU, a 12 Tflops GPU at 1.8 Ghz with a shit ton of features, add that to the pile while you're at it. And with the small-ish APU size it might not even be 599 in the end 🤣
If Sony comes around that same ballpark this gen will be so, so good. Great specs for multiplats, please.

Sony could buy up a bunch of unsold Tiger Electronics LCD systems, slap the PS5 logo on them and sell them for 399 USD. That would be arrogance. Their current stretch of silence just seems like a marketing strategy to me.
I just skimmed through the paper. He talks about a >10% size-reduction from using some of the best compression algorithms available. Microsoft talks about doubling throughput. That does not add up.
My brain's starting to hurt from having to explain why you can't plug in the cheapest POS SSD into a next-gen console. Hope DF does an entire video on this so I can just link to it.

9 secs to load the game is impressive!
All of the consistent rumors/leaks and Sony's complete silence on the subject over the last couple months
the last thing they've said about next gen was the PS5 logo reveal in January
There is one thing which I think might become a problem for the XSX along the way: the air exhausts on top of the tower
I can see people forgetting their game cases on top of it which will greatly decrease cooling... :/

BTW - "7nm enhanced" == N7P just as we all thought.
It is a sin to obscure the RGBs. The gods demand offerings of light.
What's a "game case"?
I haven't bought physical since the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One
Simply put... the GitHub leak only mentioned 56CU for the XSX and 36CU for the PS5.
Now, this reveal shos that while the XSX has 56CU, 4CU are disabled leaving only 52CU active. If we continue to take the GitHub stuff as gospel, then we should apply that same oversight to the PS5 GPU. Meaning the PS5 GPU is actually a 32CU GPU and not a 36CU one.
At this point, the PS5 could have the exact same APU but just go about clocks differently. Like a CPU with say 3.2Ghz and a 2Ghz GPU.
There's actually a little slot on the side that will still push out atleast some heat.
What a monster.
Microsoft is absolutely murdering it from a messaging standpoint. Can't wait to get a Series X.

yes - decompressing data, setting up data for the level etc- all sorts of stuff
what rumours or leaks have suggested PS5 is weaker?
Outside of GitHub, which is now thoroughly questionable as to how it relates to final hardware, what other "consistent" rumours suggest PS5 is weaker?
We have Reiner, Moriarty and Klee saying PS5 is stronger.
We have Matt and Schrier saying they are both extremely close.
Tommy Fisher accurately predicted the Xbox specs down to CU count and clock speed. Moreso than the leak I responded to. He also said PS5 had the lead. Though he is questionable because he also spread a fake DS5 shot.
So where are these "consistent" rumours that PS5 is "significantly" weaker? I've certainly missed them...
Here there is a standard format BCPack(Direct Storage) it will help to compress further the texture on disk and because of the realtime hardware decompression, it will help to stream more data on RAM. And it will probably be a standard on Xbox and PC in the future. I suppose we will have new line of Direct Storage SSD on PC.
The Series X wasn't tested in Github, just mentioned. Also it's a very incomplete data set. I in no way think it's 100% final hardware, but it shows at the time a part of what was being worked on. Today's reveal doesn't change anything as far as GitHub being the only information about ps5 we have. My add-on is that I never thought Sony would go for a power crown, because they don't do that normally.
It's not even close, the talks the next 2 days are 100% development focused.
At most, on Wednesday they're going to detail how the Series X SOC will be powering xCloud.

Remember everyone. The world has a lot going on right now. Things may have been delayed as far as announcements and reveals go. Let's try to keep this thread positive, informative, and enjoyable.
It's going to depend on the game, i expect next gen games designed with the nvme in mind will load faster, while last gen games could load slower, i could be very wrong though.
Holy shit.

Exactly, this will be the case. This is impressive to load so fast for a backward compatible title.
Well it was a good run but so long PS5\XSX speculation thread .
Welcome to the PS5 thread only and so long to those that leaving .
Welcome to the PS5 thread only and so long to those that leaving .
If anyone can add all the parts and their retail price to see what price we will get. 1TB NVMe that is solid is currently like 240$. The EVO 970.
So what about the leaks that put the PS5 ahead?
Either way.. that's some really interesting line of reasoning on your part.
Totally agree! This is nothing like last gen...If MS is anything to go by, this gen will be magnificent.
