Blue is the same as MrX, just in a nicer way. Looks like you didn't change your habits after some short absence from this forum. And yet you compare insiders here and this very forum with MrX forum. LOL

You threaten me with the gods here. What will gods do to me in the end?
You don't comprehend language well, do you? 🙄 🤷‍♂️

..but cry so much I wish I had some
Your basing this of a lower number of CUs though and seems opposite of tommy where 13 TF is clearly more CU than your advising.

You would think at this stage the industry gossip would be converging. on the last dev kit...
If the chip has a higher number of CUs then having higher clock speeds would be a bigger problem and yields even lower, as guaranteeing a very high number of CUs means the chips will be a lot more expensive.

The man makes guesses for his little 15 seconds of online fame, and as others have said, has been mostly wrong. If he had any real info he wouldn’t be wrong almost all the time. Also, it’s funny how all those alleged insiders all have different info all the time. How does that even make any sense, as far as I know Sony is making only 1 PS5.
Fuck, if they are only making one I call dibs on Saturdays from 4pm to 10pm.

Maybe, you could be right as well. We will all find out, and if he is proven a troll then he will probably be piled on and banned.

Try to use your noggin ...

1. How many dev kits and revisions are there ?

2. Then there is target specs that can change.

3, Time and who has what information at what date.

So its easy to understand different numbers that are correct vs time. It could also be all bullshit, no one is to be believed 100 %, there is always doubt until its official.

Edit: go to my twitter and look at the only thing I've tweeted mrx in years. You'll enjoy it. Lol.
Then, come back and apologize for being a twit.

Me? Apologize to you? Calling me a twit? Never!

Since you said this one too :

"They" are claiming to know for sure because Uncle tellemstuff and such.

The shit y'all gave/still give me over that misterxmedia bullshit 7 years ago and here most of you are falling for the same type of garbage.
Partially agree, but pretty much exactly like this thread. Seriously. I was there. This is an identical Misterxmedia forum type thread at this point. Liars everywhere.

You said something to MrX and suddenly you are nicer? Naaaah.

Reminds me on this tweet of yours and look who liked it :

Check post history. I like blu as in, he's a nice guy. I've warned everyone about his predictions by trying to apply unrelated tech to consoles multiple times so stop with your slander. You are the main one that brings that shit up.
Better hope your gods are right because you will never hear the end of it, buddy.

Edit: go to my twitter and look at the only thing I've tweeted mrx in years. You'll enjoy it. Lol.

It will be a special day, that's for sure.

Xbots, UNITE!

How long have you been sitting on that to try and slander me again? Lol. I'm glad you found stupid stuff that I admitted to being wrong about 5 years ago. Rotfl. You really have no comprehension of reality so carry on, warrior. Going to doxx me next? You've threatened me before. Talk about people that dont change. Get help, kid.

As I’ve been saying for bloody eons, anybody hanging onto 9tf is a bloody pillock. Might have been way back when but like my underpants, times change.

Apologies if you've already breached the subject (thread's too big to check), but what's your personal take on the github leaks?

Assuming they're legit, it has to be related as the 800/911MHz clocks in "BC_" modes are too obvious to ignore, but my current take is that it's barebones, purpose built silicon purely for ballpark BC testing and general performance testing (for further extrapolation). Likely due to RDNA1.9/2 not being available at the time in an appropriate config and it being more economically viable and good enough to do multiple tests on established ip rather than doing multiple revisions on immature ip at a later date.

My old theory was CUs were being shut off and in the case of the 2GHz mode, it was simply clocking higher to brute force Enhanced BC modes while simplifying the work devs have to do (not having to make major adjustments to task management/scheduling across more CUs).

Total speculation of course, but 9TF would just be insane to me.. :messenger_face_screaming:

Just got back. The GameStop by me has been open for a little over 6 years now. I went and spoke to the girl who was there. Seen here working there since last summer so I believe what she told me was legit.

She said she has not heard of any call lists being made yet.

She said that they wouldn't even start on one until the specs and prices for both systems are revealed and that they would have to be given the ok first by both Sony and Microsoft.
Yeah, which I would have figured as much. I am anticipating on the next business day from the announcement that they will push pre-orders.

we pretty much know that the Series X is not exactly 12.00TF, the options are:
60CU - 1.6GHZ - 12.28TF
56CU - 1.7GHZ - 12.18TF ⬅ most likely one
52CU - 1.8GHZ - 11.98TF

or they go with a more uneven clock speed to exactly hit 12TF but why would they do that? there's no real reason to it other than aesthetics

I don't know, seeing how MS desperately aimed for a round 6TF figure for X1X, I can see them doing everything possible to reach that round 12.0x TF again, so they can use it as a marketing tool instead of something like 11,8 for example. And the "twice as powerful as X1X!" as well.

So something like 1563Mhz (60CU), 1674MHz (56CU) or 1803Mhz (52CU), just to be that 0,01TF above the magic 12.



And if we do some fancy math, looking at 5700XT that has 40CU and a die size of 251mm, it takes an estimated 6,275mm^2 die size per a single CU. In comparison the 60Cu Radon VII that's also a 7nm chip uses estimated 5,5mm per a single CU. That's a dummy math I know, but the numbers of ROPs, TMUs, cache etc. are more or less associated with the number of CUs anyway, so let's use that 6,275mm number for some nerd science here, assuming RDNA2 won't be any bigger/more complex.

So a 60CU, given the same 7nm process and RDNA1 architecture, would translate into a 376mm GPU, which given the estimated die size of XBX APU of 405-410mm wouldn't leave any space left for either an 8C CPU, the RT cores, all of the the controllers - SSD, RAM, Ethernet, WiFi, BT, BD and what's not. Bare in mind a single 7nm Zen 2 CCX (4C+cache chiplet) is roughly 31mm^2, so for 8C we need about 62mm alone, and what about the rest of the mentioned components?

56Cu = 351mm, still rather too big for what the consoles will provide.

52CU = 326mm - now we're getting somewhere.


But the thing is, Navi GPUs are able to achieve a sustainable 2-2.1GHz clock speeds. Yes, I know it needs high voltage and a as a result a beefy cooling, but here the catch -the Hovis Method, which is basically nothing else than the combination of undervolting and overclocking, so a GPU/CPU uses just as little voltage as really necessary to reach the desired frequencies. So let's say the GPU in XBX will reach something between 1850/1900/1950Mhz, now we're at 50-48CU, 313, 307 and 301mm respectively, plus the mentioned 62mm for the CPU, leaving some actual space left for the other stuff.

So I don't know, do with those calculations whatever you want guys lol.





Dare you say how is this anyhow thread related? NV said long time ago they're not interested in consoles with their business model, a.k.a. tiny profit margins, and both next-gen consoles were as well long time ago confirmed to be yet again using complete AMD solution.



And I don't know how to even comment on that one, nice spam I guess?

The fuck. This github leak is worse than a pimple on the ass. You just can't get rid of it
 

TheStruggler

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
I know this is chess not checkers, Im just curious as to why they havent even revealed or nailed down a date for a reveal just yet. I mean we will prob get a reveal date and they have to wait mode for the reveal. I wonder if they just aint ready to show/talk about it yet but for what reason I wonder?

Dude. Calm down. Truly, I have no idea who you are or what your history is, but noticed your posts today and you're simply...distasteful. Stop trying to stir shit for zero reason...do you have anything to positively add to the the topic of the thread?

Like i said. You didn't change even you abandoned MrX forum years ago so, regarding that, was never wrong. You still have the same habits. Cheers!

Team GitHub went silent when it turned out to be FUD. GitHub is owned by Microsoft. FUD was invented by Microsoft.
Tell me that my tinfoil hat is too tight and that's why my head hurts.
Come on man. That's silly. MS don't control every bit of info on GitHub.

My guess is that despite everyone wanting everything to be binary, 100% one way and correct or it's 100% wrong, the rumor mill is more fluid and hit-and-miss than that. Things can change or be wrong. Even in Orisis' case, he had a set of numbers at one point, then he PM'd in April 2019 and said they changed. In the past I found his numbers to be, perhaps unreliable, but I don't have many doubts about his experience with next-gen software and some of his hits on reveals are uncanny. People are just passing along info as they get it. Depending on the source, the timelines might not match up.

I think there were substantially different iterations of the PS5, and possibly a complete overhaul to a different model at some point 2-3yrs ago. It could explain a lot. There's no doubt in my mind that Gonzalo/Oberon were or are related to PS5, but maybe the plan changed and they were used as transitional dev hardware? DF stated they were 99% sure Gonzalo/Oberon is the PS5 SoC. It will be interesting to see a retrospective on the development process of the hardware.

The math has already been worked out a few times:

Before anyone jumps on me for posting this, I don’t believe the PS5 will come in at 36-40 CUs. Just showing for reference.

First things first, I laugh hard at the GitHub Delusionals since December.

But stop man, stop right there: the data leaked on GitHub was leaked because a poor sap simply posted publicly, on his own damn repo. GitHub has nothing to do with it.

It would be like an Apple intern posting iPhone specs on his YouTube channel and people accusing Google for the leak.

Okay, I didn't know the whole picture, thanks for clarifying.
