OH SHIT
PS5 Will Reportedly Have Huge Backwards Compatibility Feature
It’s 2020, which means we are less than a year away from the release of the PlayStation 5. That said, Sony Interactive Entertainment still hasn’t divulged many salient details about the PS5. For example, we don’t have a release date, we don’t know how much it will cost, what games it will come...comicbook.com
OH SHIT
Please be true. I'd fuck a cactus if true

I would say to this guy - "thou dost assume too much" LOL
But that covers most of gaming YT in the year before a console release.

He still assumes far too much. If you thought about the console market this way, we'd be well over $1,000 by now.
I'm not estimating a figure, I'm just talking about how he justifies his estimates. For example, lets look at the APU, MS doesn't pay retail they pay cost + licensing fee for each unit (obviously not including R&D costs already paid). The Xbone X already uses a big chip, 360 mm2 I believe. That's not much smaller than say the leaked estimates of 400 mm2. He uses the current discount prices of Xbone X to price lockhart, even though that chip will be much smaller than the Xbone X chip. This type of thinking doesn't fly for consoles. That's like saying the PS4 sells for $300, the new one is going to cost $1,000, it has an SSD etc. Some costs are like for like, even though the new parts are considerably faster.

Says more about the so called insiders. I'm sure Klee is back from chopping wood in Alaska, and apparently he has full spec sheets, so would be pretty easy for him to dispute the 9.2, 36 CU, yet he hasn't come out with any numbers to do so. Sometimes silence says more.

Vague as all hell. Just so they cant be held to anything. He could come out and say that the Sony fanboys claiming the PS5 will be 12 tflops are the ones who will regret it later.

So you saying AMD use fake info in their own internal testing? And test GPUs at PS4 and PS4 Pro BC setting that are fake just because?

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
If they brought back servers then there is a god. The controls while floaty but not AS floaty as RDR2, they still were good for their time and gameplay and physics were sick

He did claim that PS5 is more powerful and hasn't retracted that statement, so he has to live and die by those words. But like you said, if he really does have the spec sheet then why is being so vague and not putting all his cards on the table?

What?
He already shared his information and said he wouldn't say much until after the specs have been officially revealed. People who have specifics are not going to give out numbers to fans begging for it. He stated multiple times that he believes PS5 is slightly more powerful and it hasn't changed after the Xbox One Series X reveal.
He came back earlier today to give that statement, and it's quite clear that he's referring to people who are doubting him.

i haven’t been keeping up with all this but this is where I’m at. When all the info came out he couldn’t take 5 minutes to clarify or provide additional details? Super suspect.

But they arnt. They could claim they were given the power in GCN flops. Klee will claim that he did say things could change and so theres his out if the XSX is more powerful, or that he was talking about the GPU speed being faster than the XSX GPU, not that it was more powerful.
Thats why they haven't come out with any new definitive numbers, so they cant be held to anything. They haven't answered one direct question.
For instance, "Hey Klee, does the PS5 have 36 Cu's?" If he has the spec sheet he would know. And lets be totally honest here, if he did answer that yes or no, how could that EVER give away his source? It couldn't. So it's not about protecting his source, its about protecting his butt.

Lol. He knows the specs but wont say what they are until the official specs are released.
I know the winning cross lotto numbers for Saturday's draw, but I wont say what those numbers are until the draw is done and everyone knows the numbers.

Amm...no, no it wasnt. You guys are parachuting left and right and feeding your bias with things you dont understand.
13E9 - first codename for PS5 iGPU. Obviously hidden, but unearhthed as Navi10 in drivers. Absolutely makes no reference to PS5 or Xbox that post btw....

You look at Windows Central who got the spec sheet from their sources and they laid it all out, but then you got these other insiders who claim to have the info and yet you seem the make vague statements and play it safe. That's why I'm also suspicious.

Power is measured in Tflops, just like cars are measured in horse power. Performance is a different manner. Two cars can have the same power levels, but one can go faster than the other. So if the XSX is twice as powerful than the X, then it's 12tflops.
Btw 9.2TF even for 399$ is a stretch. Look into Resetera thread once Oberon was found (14.08) and they all went crazy over 9.2TF Navi, because expectations were really on the floor and 5700XT was matching R7 (13.5TF card) but still going for 450$. So, not cheap by any means.
HD7850 was less then 200$ when PS4 was released and RX470 was 180$ when Pro was released. These were 212mm² and 230mm² GPU equivalents. So, add to this SSD, Zen2, RT/VRS etc. and ask yourself if 399$ is price point.
Because 5700XT (without RT/VRS) is still 400$ card (and at 251mm², without RT cores, bigger then PC equivalents of PS4 and Pro cards).

That was obvious years ago already.
BTW the guy is a epic fail to “leak” Nintendo Direct things but of course PS5 Feb reveal is the safest leak ever.

Not getting drug into a console war when things fit your narrative and when they don't.
I am pretty confident in saying both consoles will be very close in power with Xbox having a slight edge.
If I am wrong and Xbox has a monster power advantage then cool I will buy that for multi plats.
I don't have a dog in this fight.

Why do some people always have to make into tribalism and us vs them kinda thing? Why do you always have to be on one or the other side? Can you not be just a neutral trying to find out what the heck is going on? This tribalistic mentality lot of gamers have is kinda childish reallyYou can keep believing the 9TFs

You've been doing this with everyone who has information that may point in another direction.
It's perfectly fine if you don't believe him or think he's complete fraud, but there's no need to keep repeating yourself whenever his information is posted. The fact is, he has been verified, which means he at least knows something. Is his information old? Is it new? It still remains to be seen.
Just sit down and wait because what you're saying can completely blow up in your face.

If Series X is 12TF at $500, PS5 will be 9.2TF at $400.
If Series X is 12TF at $550-600, PS5 will be 9.2TF at $450-500.
Unless Xbox is gunning for only the hardcore "anything price is ok" crowd, I don't see MS selling Series X for $200 more than PS5 assuming it's 12TF vs 9.2TF. $100 gap at most.
Lockhart 4TF, all digital = $300
PS5 9.2TF = $400
Series X = $500

This just all about who's "insider" info agrees most with who's narrative.
Osiris/klee is the sony fanboys "God". While Tom or whatever his name is the xbox fanboys "God".
Perfect example. Was just catching up on this thread and without mentioning the name. How is it someone was dispelling one rumor that ps5 is 14tf while using the rumor that ps5 is $399 to "prove" their point? Lol
I just want 4k/60 as the minimum for next gen and games. Don't care how they do it. Microsoft has a long fight ahead of them to make this gen competitive. Power is great and all but we need some fucking games to show it off on.

PS4 reveal was Feb. Pretty safe to assume Sony will do an official reveal at some point in the first half.
For sake of debate, I'll use my insider knowledge (which is 100% guessing) as say the reveal is March.

Tom Warren is as vague as some of the Sony insiders. The only ones that really put detailed information out there are Windows Central. Right now we have way more specifics when it comes to Xbox then we do with PS5. I hope PS5 is more than 10 tflops, but right now there are enough reasons for lot of people to doubt that it might be.

I wouldn't necessarily it was obvious. I mean, I always thought of Feb. as the reveal based on what People were saying, but there was a possibility that it wouldn't have been the same month again.

Plenty of us here have said Ps5 to be unveiled in Feb like the Ps4. So i guess that makes us all "insiders" too lol

what if xbox 12tflops is 399?
Tom Warren put 4/12 in November on Resetera mind you.

Difference is Klee and Osiris have info on both Tom has said he knows nothing about ps5 as have other 12 tfloper insiders.
Yea. If its coming out Oct/Nov, it cant be these two. Nor it can be Dec as its already out by then.
January is a bit too soon, and that leaves Feb or March as everything in between that and E3 is not a good fit, and E3 or after is a no no. They have to have their own event.
So chances are picking Feb/March will yield you ~90% chance of being right.

I already posted here how that figure was circulating as early as April this year. I'm not saying Tom Warren is not an insider, but the info he had wasn't exactly new and he didn't have the specific details like what Windows Central provided.

There is nothing that these guys have stated that makes them the 'God' of either corporation.
Every single one of these guys have said PS5 is the more powerful of the two along with Jason Schreier (not sure of the spelling of his last name lol)
Matt has come out to say that the Github leak is not accurate which has the PS5 at 9.2TF's and other's have pointed out some inconsistencies in that leak as well. Digital Foundry did a piece on it whereby they stated some things don't look right and some are parts are probably accurate.
Personally i believe PS5 is at same level or slightly more powerful as Xbox Series X. Too many people in the know have said this. Sony's also super secretive about where they're at and the insiders have gone quiet. Any of them could have come out and flat out confirmed or denied the github leaks but none of them have which to me speaks to Sony's strict secrecy around PS5.
We have a month to go until all is revealed and if I was an insider, i wouldn't want to jeopardize the job of my industry source for the sake of being the first on forums to post or corroborate information that was leaked online. It's not worth it and i understand the silence of people like Matt, Klee, Jason etc.
When information is revealed i fully expect these guys to spill everything.
You're not going to get 4K/60fps games as standard next gen. Devs will use every last drop of performance to push visuals at 4k/30fps. I would love multiplayer components of games to go for full 4K/60fps and the single player campaigns to hit 4K/30fps. Then again i'm no developer and i guess its in their interest what target's they try to hit.
Personally I don't want native 4K titles. Give me checkerboard 4K and use every ounce of system resource to push visuals and framerate as high as possible.
Native 4K is a huge waste.
