Tommy has said 52CUs @2GHz before. The problem is 2 GHz seems highly unlikely for Navi full stop but especially in a console form factor unless 90db fans are accepted. Bare in mind the console will be running the GPU and CPU at full clocks while playing games. Unless something amazing is pulled out of their hats I'm holding back believing it. For now....
we need some of these people verified they playing with our emotions lol

in this case yes, but ps5 vs xsx it contradicts unless ms got edge in power and price which i highly doubt they could do both.
I'm not so sure how this is difficult to understand, they basically saying plan to beat PS5 in both price (Lockhart) and power (Series X). It doesn't means that they are going to do it with one console like you're implying.

Regardless of the more powerful system, it's good to see gaming companies take the piss out of each other. Sega used to troll Nintendo. Was it "Sony do what Ninten-dont"?
Sony trolling MS over how to share a PS4 game. So seeing MS photo bomb Sony is kinda cool.

Dude , PS5 logo garnered more media attention than anything MS has done to date. PS5 will be similarly specced as Series X, MS is posing the least threat to Sony Playstation hell I even think Nintendo is threatening Sony more than Microsoft.

13TF, 10TF or even 3TF, it doesn't matter , Playstation WILL always sell better than Xbox. 499, 599, 199 it doesn't matter PS5 will sell better.

Xbox one was basically a Lockhart of this gen, you could get one as low as $199 in 2014 by the outrageous deals and yet, the world didn't give a fuck about Xbox. Same will happen this upcoming generation, only thing that MS can do is to try to better position themselves from a distant third to a close third behind Sony and Nintendo.

OT: I encourage everyone to wait for the official specs reveal by Sony and MS, both machines will be ultra capable.

Not surprise... AMD moving from GF to TSMC, Apple, consoles, etc.

You’re getting the language wrong here too though Reindeer Reindeer . Phil Spencer said they wouldn’t be out of position on price and power. Not that they wouldn’t be beat on price and power. There is a huge difference between what he said and what people are assuming.
It's still more or less saying the same thing, although in this case it's saying that they will offer both reasonable price and power. So you are right, it leaves even less room for people to misinterpret it (kinda like I did lol).

i'm not implying anything i know what you're saying i mentioned that they couldn't do that just with xsx.
 
It’s fake. Naughty Dog haven’t even got TLOU2 out the door yet and Square are too busy on the FF7 remaster.
What ? cmon man.

When you know it's fake, what's holding you back ?

Yeah...the Goodwill that SONY has garnered this past 2 gens is amazing. I can see MS "winning" the US (maybe UK?) back but that's about it.

From the looks of it both consoles are going to be amazing.

Yeah, that's why they want to launch two consoles. Microsoft kinda has to do this because of Sony being such a dominant force and being able to outsell Xbox easily at the same price.

I had a really, REALLY good laugh at the "blazing fast downloads", LMFAO. On XBL, Steam, Origin, GoG, UPlay, sure, but not on PSN, ni console won't change shit as long as their infrastructure/protocols remains as it is.
Is your PS4 broken, by any chance? Mine has no problem maxing out my SSD. You have to keep in mind your hdd is limited to like 50mb/s write speed.

This gets my vote



Pretty much



My thoughts exactly. Tims over the top reaction pretty much makes it a lock to be a prank.
The part about the SSD causing a $100 increase was nutty. The patent hints at it being a cheaper alternative to what's on the market, not a doubling in price.

Same goes for the Bluepoint tweet. It ha nothing to do with ps5 or xsx tflops. There was a thread where someone asked them to throw them a bone and just to "show us a black screen, with a title, anything". That's exactly what they did.

Is it possible that the price allegedly increased that much because Sony not just wants to put a SSD in the PS5, but one with extremely high capacity?

i think ms will introduce it later after ps5 price, spec reveal and only if they're in disadvantage in pricing compared to ps5 if not or, same price as ps5, lockhart would be canceled? if that's the case i think this scenario suggest that xsx will be over 500$ with no loss per console and ps5 499$ with around 60$ loss per console. that's basically bailout case for ms to not lose in pricing.
 
I don't know its fake. I'm not an insider. 2GHz seems unlikely based on what I've read but until specs are confirmed I will hold fire. My arse is killing so Sony better hurry up.
56CU's @ 2Ghz is fake, i'm pretty sure 2Ghz was a stress test, expect clocks to be in 1850Mhz area (i'm not confirming 56CU's).
 
No devloepr that has whether a PS5 or Series X dev kit will give third parties any info. Nor do they talk about any details with family or friends. Unless they signed an NDA too. Why would someone risk breaching NDA and on top of it getting sued for damages made to involved parties? No one will give radom people here on on gaf or the intenret real "insider" info and if those "leaks" weve gotten so far have any truth in it then those people involved in spreading them will likely be sued and fired over the course of the upcoming months.

Im unsubbing now as most of the people here are just trying to dig for more inside info. You will most likely not get em. Simple as that. I understand people are excited I am too. But the fact that some people here are so desperate over leaks is just blowing my mind. Just wait til official announcments and full reveal envents.

Until then have fun everyone in this thread, im probably coming back when things have settled and we can actually talk about real specs.
Was a pleasure being here.

Like a 2Tb, sure. But they've already put out the messaging that modular game installs would alleviate the issue of huge install sizes.
If a large storage size is on the table, then a smaller one would have to be there along side it, IMO. That extra 1Tb for $100 would give them a nice profit while a cheaper 1Tb sku would bring in those hesitant to spend the extra money.
 
idk if this has been posted already but never the less here it is:

If this is true then this will be a major game changer. So developers in theory can work, debug, playtest their games on the same machine. I really hope this turns out to be true.

postscript :This would be a genuinely genius move from microsoft assuming they can make it secure enoguh for both versions of the OS to run.
Anyone here remember that ps3 linux fiasco?

I think Jez Corden debunked this on twitter few hours ago

If ReRam is used as cache for the SSD, I can see it costing 100$.

Remember how Microsoft first talked about Series X as the most powerful console and then changed it to the most powerful Xbox? Do you guys think Microsoft were initially basing this on the 9 tflop PS5 and then maybe this GPU was upgraded and Microsoft changes their slogan? Anyone?
 
Nice way to take things out of context lol, I was taking about upcoming Xbox games and my comment had nothing to do with PS.

You compared directly Xbone lineup in 2020 to PS4 lineup in 2020. Comparison would be OK if you didn't mentioned Game Pass for list wars in same sentence, but you left out PS Now.

I see -

-Github leaks heavily tied to PlayStation
-Alfred Panini saying over and over that he expects a 399 PS5
-Xbox showing their console at the game awards in front of the Sony bigwigs, not afraid to start throwing around terms like ‘fastest’ and ‘most powerful Xbox console they've ever made’.
-Also show the chip shortly after, more bragging

Given the above I’m struggling to see the PS5 turn out to be the better hardware overall, it would be some odd flexing from Microsoft. But stranger things have happened!

Fixed...

The Good Old Gamer on YouTube (PC enthusiast) says a 12 tflop Xbox should be slightly ahead of 2080 Super and 10% behind 2080TI, that's without taking into account optimisation and VRS.

A pcie 4.0 m.2 drive is a lot more expensive than a pcie 3.0 m.2 drive for PCs. We dont know the size of the ps5 m.2 pcie 4.0 drive as of yet so we shouldnt be arguing already.
 
Gold?
I’d think they’d be nearing crunch when all hands go on deck.
Pretty sure it's bug test phase, i don't remember where i saw an interview where they asked ellie voice actress ( i think) about the release and she said FFFFF for february a long time ago, then on the trailer later it said coming in february then reported to may, i'm guessing they found unexpected bugs or delaying it for a specific reason.
 

Right, when you start looking at the small print. But they are not going to fully ‘confirm’ anything at this stage anyway.

The main point is that they are happily throwing these phrases out, knowing that the gaming media and consumers will run with them. I would say they have been foolish with the way they have presented the Series X so far, if indeed the PS5 turns out to be better.
