SemiAcccurate gets some Playstation 5/Next details ($1000 Subscription to read / Summary in OP)
- Thread starter Llazy
- Start date
Yep that is how I read it. He claims a 2018 launch for the PS5 for sure.
Hope you don't have a spouse who you need to explain you paid one grand to read a game article
Let's be honest, it's a poorly written article with a $1000 paywall.
it seems like he's just triangulating a release window based on dev kits going out, and the timeframe that AMD parts are supposed to be ready.
i'm still on the fence about the track record though. i saw some posts about things they got right, but does anyone have a list of things they got wrong?
$1k for a blog post basically?
Semi-accurate by basing everything on AMD product release date? SMH.

In the very next paragraph he is clearly guessing a 2018 launch for the PS5 itself.
Seriously, Charlie has been wrong for so long, he probably started before some posters here were born.
Everyone wants to give their hot takes before understanding what they read
Could Just the window the AMD hardware would be available.
Taking a not so cutting edge piece of hardware and customizing it has been kind of the norm for a while now. Jaguar was around before the PS4/XB1. The Tegra X1 was already getting replaced with a X2 when the Switch was released etc.

My sources say its going to be an 11.2tflop GPU with cerny made hybrid architecture that enables effectively 1000gb of ram
$1000 please.
$1000 please.
It will use Ryzen, which really debuted mid-Feburary. So if you would consider that architecture new or not in Holiday '20 is kind of blurry. It's coming when it needs to in order to start the engine work for games launching then.
"Another thing to add to the mix is the number of dev kits out there. That number is large which means that the seeding program has gone from the small scale halo devs to the masses, a sure sign that the launch is getting close. This points to a 2018 launch but again isn't definite but coupled with the other data points, thing look very close""
He's clearly implying a 2018 launch, guys...

Wow, really? Oh no :(
I don't want the next PS/Xbox until at least 2020.
Yea, after reading that quote, it does definitely seem like he means a 2018 release for the actual system. The only way I see that being possible, is if the PS4 pro also played PS5 games, which I believe would be super unlikely.
They are clearly implying a 2018 PS5 launch, not just for the parts. But fuck, 2018 seems like total bullshit. Which is even weirder, considering they did get some stuff right before, apparently. Why lie now? (Besides the quick $1000).
Real or fake, shoutout to Jawbreaker. Thanks for taking this for the team, my dude

Not sure if real or fake or whatever, but that tidbit about dev kits going out in large quantities has me hyped.
I'll drink the Kool Aid. Thanks Jawbreaker!

2018 launch for PS5..........
Uhhhhhh, the fact that they are even entertaining this idea gives me pause about their reliability.

Clarification: Navi GPU is rumored for a 2018 release NOT the PS5.
PS5 will be shown at E3 2019 for a Q4 2019 release, six years after the PS4. Y'all heard it here first.

They've been a bit off with their timelines before. so I'm guessing 2019 based off of that.
Devs received PS4 devkits around this time in 2012 didnt they?
So if devs are getting PS5 dev kits now nov 2019 is looking more likely.
No he is literally projecting a 2018 launch
Definitely incorrect. Not only do they state that the components they wish to use may not launch until Q1 2019, they would risk completely cannibalising their PS4 install base by launching a new product so close to the PS4 Pro. I doubt Sony want the Osborne effect to happen to them, even though they're miles ahead of Microsoft and Nintendo. We're already experiencing longer generations than usual and I doubt Sony want to change that for the time being. Given that Sony are on the back-foot in terms of raw computational power, I also feel they'd want to wait until they can be confident that the PS brand can be re-associated with having the most power, mainly in terms of marketing to the consumer. It wouldn't necessarily look good if their new console is less powerful than the X.
It's also incorrect because I have sources that say it's going to have a 12tflop GPU with mandatory PSVR usage and the restriction on using second-hand copies, with cross-play with Microsoft from day 1.

Okay so, no, this reading is completely wrong.
