Oh boy you’re one of those consoles are dead guys. I’ve heard 1 tb download since 2000, here I am in 2020 still sitting at 70mbps in the States.
No, I'm one of those if AMD is smart they would spread thier business to multiple product lines to protect shareholder value guys. This isn't a console warrior argument.

Who said they aren't phasing out XBO and X? They just price-dropped the X to $299 recently, sounds like a phasing out to me.

We still don't know how exactly they're going to do cross-gen or even cross-platform support; we only know they are in fact going to do both. And we'll be seeing some cross-gen support from Sony as well or are people thinking there won't be PS5 versions of TLOU2, Dreams, Ghosts etc? Those are practically guaranteed.
Sony are planning on releasing exclusives on day 1 for the PS5 only that are coded with PS5 tech like the SSD in mind for example, they just won't run on the PS4... Sony want people who own a PS4 to transition to the PS5 as quickly as possible... Microsoft on the other hand are happy to just cross platform for the first year and a half.

Look at Godfall for example, that's a PS5 exclusive and PC... No PS4 version🤔
Yes devs will still create games for the PS4 but Sony's first party devs will be focusing on the PS5 exclusivity.

If its bollocks I'll eat my words... Just as I'll eat my words if the PS5 isn't a 9tf or lower machine 🤔

Funny, kdad made an assumption in the rdna 2 thread that all those services are worth more to amd than sony’s PlayStation yet he could not provide any proof. I didn’t know how many server blades they sell for MS but facts are there for xbox and surface.
I find it absolutely bizarre that this narrative has taken hold. Video Games simply mean more to Sony than they do to MS. Something around 40% of their revenue and 1/3rd of their profits come from the playstation division. They simply cannot risk losing a single cent of the $12 billion in PSN revenue. Especially next gen when the digital sales should hit around 75-80% of overall sales. All of that money is essentially free profit since hosting and maintaining PSN servers is relatively inexpensive.


Put it simply, they have more to lose. their bottomline relies on the PS division doing well. To do that they cannot risk putting out a weak console. They cannot risk being more expensive either. MS does have them cornered with the lockhart but that doesnt mean they have to gut their own console and give MS both a price advantage and the power advantage. Thats just wishful thinking.

If anything, they will want to have a more powerful console and take a bigger loss to come in cheaper. Their entire business relies on the PS5 succeeding. Cant say the same about MS. Its pretty much a pet project for MS.

No, seriously. Where are the hidden cameras. The second person like this in an hour. This is a set up, right? Where’s Beadle, come on out let’s give you a hand 🤣🤣🤣

Why are you posting these pics when your post contradicts this? A 4TF machine will hold back the 12TF, facts. A 9TF ps5 will hold back a 12 TF, facts. Please make up your mind about the 4TF.

Btw i applaud you for not going down the stupid 9.2TF like most xbox fanboys.

I agree, but the narrative i’ve seen from you and others are that MS is worth more to AMD than Sony is, which is not true. They would be stupid to lose out on either one.

Less than 40 days apart. That's a first for sony. Usually when they release multiple exclusives within a year, they're about 3 months apart from each other, but in this instance, it's less than 40 days. That's quite unusual. But it's awesome to have 2 heavy hitters within the span two months (May-June), should keep gamers occupied until the Next gen drops!!!
Looks like they want to clear second semester.

A new Ghost of Tsushima trailer and date reveal AND a new bts trailer DOOM Eternal focused on it’s music within the span of like 10 minutes I’m losing my mind rn.

Also I gotta say, was not expecting Ghost to be end of June I was betting more of an August/September release I’m happily surprised
maybe they want to space it out from Cyberpunk 2077? plus PS5 news and marketing push..

Of course they would be stupid to lose either, never indicated otherwise. My original comment had zero to do with tf values or AMD making a deal that cuts SONY off from RDNA2, only that from AMD viewpoint MS is the more valuable partner due to multiple product lines and a breadth of product lines...I see others are using this opinion and twisting it into some kind of TF fight...I am not doing that.

Wanted to compile a list of all insiders here who have hinted at PS5 Specs

Gaf Insiders
  • Osiris - 12+
  • Heisenberg - First Source 9.5 Tflops (SIE dev?) Second Source 11+ tflops.
  • BGs - Hinting at 11-13+ tflops
  • WhispersInTheWind - 11 Tflops
  • o'dium - 11.5 tflops

Outside Insiders
  • Klee - 12+ tflops (based on his reaction to Series X being 12 tflops)
  • Ex Ubisoft Employe Britney - 14 tflops
  • Jason - >10.7 tflops


Not a single mention of 8 or 9.2 tflops. Things are not looking good for Github truthers.
Please stop calling people who self profess to be "insiders" as insiders. Have we leaned nothing about this? Save the term insider for real insiders plz. Or put "unproven" or "internet self-proclaimed", etc.. A real insider would be someone who for example works at MS or Sony in their console division on those projects, not someone that hears about something secondhand....telephone game of acquaintances or knows someone who knows someone.....It's firsthand knowledge.

Also even a real insider could spread misinformation, much more someone without firsthand knowledge of anything, internet posters. It might pay to take things with a grain of salt without evidence of anything.

Don’t work like that.

Even with just 9.2 TF, the PS5 will end up with more impressive looking games than Xbox Series X.

I'm not talking about resolution, where Series X will likely have an advantage, I mean next-gen PS5 games will be able to target the hardware, will end up having more detail, larger worlds and greater scope.

Xbox Series X will not only be held back by Lockhart's 4 TF GPU but also the smaller RAM pool.

At the end of the day: Series X - higher pixel resolution - PS5 - more impressive graphics, more complex worlds.

Spinning it like a tornado.

Unless the games are developed for 4K output.

Lockhart will be able to produce the same graphical fidelity at a lower resolution, assets do not need to change for this. To produce 4K games with 4K output you will need 3-4 Times the GPU. Resolution is the biggest stress on a GPU.

To be fair to MS, there was nothing wrong with that tshirt. It was true.

If you want to talk actual embarrassing shit, stuff that was meme central and atill is, how about Riiiiidge Racer? Giant enemy crab? FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS? Get a second job...?

Come on man, all three companies have hd their share of cheese.
For fairness purpose, please list everything Don Matrix (or whatever his name was) and his team ever said.

Jason said afterwards that he didn't actually know what the specs were and was going off developer's ASSUMPTIONS about what the specs would be,

Anyway apparently 36 CU's at 2ghz would have a higher pixel fill rate, and with 9.2 Tflops there would be higher bandwidth per flop, so yeah xbox will likely have the edge but the difference is not gonna be huge when it's all said and done. If it turns out to be 9.2 that's gonna be just fine. It's more than just the raw flops y'know. Stop obsessing about the flops. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE FLOPS!

Unfortunately with Lockheart around, XSX and likely PS5 will just be relegated to upscaling machines in most titles. Essentially pro models of the next gen and the 4tf will become the baseline games will be built around.

You want the highest possible baseline, not this pos holding things back. Bad MS!

I still dont think Sony would go 2 Ghz Hot hot hot. So if its 36 CU active, non disabled thats 8 TF. Doubt it.

I think they will be 36 cu in compatibility mode when playing Ps4 games. It has to have 36 I think to be ps4 Pro compatible in hardware.

How many CU switched off who knows, but my gut says they will be 54 or so and turn off 18 for BC. But Github Xbox fan believers say its zero ......who knows ?

All pulled from my arse/

That’s because you’re not a pc gamer. Fakeass pc fan.
Fake ass PC fan?!?! Lol. You doing ok? I'm an Xbox fan. You still didn't even answer my question. Does my pc (which isn't the shittiest, but far from powerful) hold back other peoples pcs that are beefy and ready to rock?

Fake ass PC fan. Ha ha ha.
 
I wonder why there’s no Crysis games on PCs.
Mid\low configurations do hold back high ones, games are designed around the most common hardware due to sales, which translate in consoles and entry level configurations as a minimum target. Crysis was just "fuck this" but realistically the industry do not work this way.

You're comparing PCs with consoles. Old ass PCs don't hold back high end PCs, but old consoles indeed hold back recent consoles. This happens since always.

The thing was more about 9 tf holding back 12, not old vs new. Consoles, especially now, are entry levels PCs and those would exists aside from consoles and devs would still take those in account.

I think that's a possibility. Let's not forget the original Gonzalo leak from early 2019 had a presumably 36 CU's at 1Ghz, then later it was clocked up to 1.8Ghz if the analysis is correct. Then Github had that clocked at 2Ghz. I mean there's no way native PS5 mode was ever gonna be targeting 36 at 1Ghz, so who knows, github leak could just be a BC mode with a kick ass PS4 Pro +++ mode at 9.2. But if 9.2 Navi for ps5 native ends up being true, I wouldn't be surprised either.

Until new info is released we're not gonna know so it really is just speculation. But I wouldn't fret too much if it does turn out to be 9.2Tflops, all I'm saying.

Sony fans should think before bashing Lockhart. If the unit moves any units or shows even the slightest sign of broadening the console market, Sony's response will be swift and concise. MS wouldn't have, and I would think anticipate not having, that niche to themselves for long. If Lockhart comes to market, it will be an experiment, if it fails miserably there is still the XSX on the market.

Not to mention pcs are constantly upgradable and consoles aren't. Those high spec consoles are brute forcing shit to look better and do better, consoles don't have tht luxury because they remain static.

Not a good comparison.

Sony will be fine due to their strong First Party lineup.

Yes, also, someone is considering that after PS5 and SeX games will still somewhat run on cards like GTX 1080? Yes, this will hold back design but not as much as having to take shitty PS4 and One in account.

Devs have being concern about Lockhart for some reason I guess. They must know better than us.
How is Lockhart an old console?

Lol. Come on now guys.
Never said Lockhart is a old console lol.

I never said I was a pc gamer. I'm a fan of pcs. They do great stuff. I'm not a hard core pc gamer.

And I know. You know you're wrong that Lockhart will hold back XSX games. Just like PS5 won't hold back 3rd party games on XSX for being weaker.
