30% income tax?! That's ridiculous 😲

It's not that far above the 25% marginal rate most people in the US would fall into

And Canada
bc-tax-rates.jpg



"0% from 0 kronor to 18,800 kronor
  • Circa 32% (ca. 11% county and 20% municipality tax which is the Swedish average): from 18,800 kronor to 468,700 kronor
  • 32% + 20%: from 468,700 kronor to 675,700 kronor
  • 32% + 25%: above 675,700 kronor[4]
"


What's your countries?

It’s pretty encouraging seeing the reviews.

This leap may be bigger than I thought.

It was always going to be a good leap. Dev tricks and optimizations are going to go an even longer way this gen.

Worst case we'll see are current gen games quality bumped up to 4K60.

So the 7.5TF RX 5700 beats the 12.58TF Vega 64 based on reviews that went up today.

8-9.5 TF PS5 and Scalrett will be perfectly fine.
When did the Vega64 suddenly became the benchmark for next gen? that's such a shitty GPU that isn't even double Scorpio performance
<2x is a very tiny jump for next gen

Devs will still make impressive results but its nothing impressive for next gen.
Damn.....That knee in the face will hurt so much when specs get announced! ;)
On 7nm EUV all predictions are out the window, even 14TF its not so crazy (though i personally expect 11-13TF)
On 7nm DUV they can land on 10-11TF which would match a RTX 2080, pretty decent jump
Yea, I am sure most valuable company in the world would miss out on 7nm EUV, while our own forum masterminds have been going on about it 24/7 non stop.

I can't see how they could given the power/thermals of the 7.5TF 5700. Add a 8c 3-3.2GHz Zen 2 and 10-11TF just isn't realistic. Similarly 14TF on EUV.

If you are talking in GCN equivalent per/watt terms then I would agree Vega 56-Vega 64 (i.e. 10-12TF) would be about right as the 5700 does seem to match well with them.

Granted 11TF would be pushing the limits of what's possible in a console at 7nm DUV but certainly doable with good cooling like a full length vapor chamber
Lower clocks and voltage.
  • 54CUs @ 1500Mhz = 10.36TF (very likely)
  • 54CUs @ 1550Mhz = 10.7TF
  • 54CUs @ 1592Mhz = 11TF (best case scenario) (250W total system)
On 7nm EUV
  • 72CUs @1520 = 14TF
This is doable with decent TDP for a console. Although im not confident in that config because of die size ~400mm2

More confident on this for EUV:
  • 60CUs @ 1500Mhz = 11.5TF
  • 60CUs @ 1600Mhz = 12.28TF
  • 60CUs @ 1693Mhz = 13TF
Even if they don't use EUV tech, 7nm pro which is design compatible with standard 7nm has power reductions and will be used for mass production this year.

We'll see SonGoku. I don't expect more than 9TF Navi and if it is somehow more then I'm even happier. If it does turn out these consoles are at/below 9TF will you not buy either and be disappointed/shocked?

If its 9TF it better be $400 and if its less than 9TF im not biting until it hits $299
I'd be disappointed for sure with only 2x (or less) the real world performance the X GPU.

If it ends up being 8tflops that shit better 399. no fucking way i am paying 500 for that shit. though i do suspect its gonna end up being 400, i hate to say but consoles ultimately low ball when it comes to specs and devs use their skills to make the consoles punch above their weight, dont see how next gen is different other than having an ssd.

WIth the new architecture 8 teraflops maybe equivalent to 10-12 Radeon. Outside the numbers, if the console provides a huge upgrade I will bite for $399. The whole loading thing has me very interested because I like rockstar games and can see a huge advantage.

the market is ready for 500 dollar systems. 450 is also an option. the people will not accept another subpar system that doesn't do full 4k60. the people need a reason to upgrade.

tbh even with 14.2TF I expect devs to target 30fps to push insane visuals
A 1440p 60fps mode might be possible depending of how much CPU headroom there is

this is awful. if this happens we will get another midgen refresh. 60fps is a must.
framerate is a developer design choice, the only way to guarantee 60fps is PC (bruteforce)
Of coursrse certain devs are known to target 60 fps (dice, cod, idtech, respawn etc) so those games will now hit locked 60fps with less compromises

Its the same thing every gen. Dev claims system isn't powerful enough to get good frames, AI, physics etc.... wait till next gen.

Next gen comes, 30 fps games persist and it's the same excuse for decades.

Why program improved gameplay, polished games, better AI, animations or physics when the recent pushes lately are shiny hair strands and ray tracing.

Who knew gamers have been secretly begging for better hair and lighting effects. I'm positive gamers have been wanting the other stuff on years on forums requests, but I guessed I missed all the threads. Didn't know gamers wanted better hair and fancy lighting for next gen pushes the whole time.

lol no the PS4 GPU was on par with the 290X GCN feature set
If you don't like that example that still leaves Pro and X

$299 or fuck off with that performance

Eh, id argue that consoles pretty typically have some GPU/CPU features that do not appear in the mainstream parts for a generation or two. Whether or not these features have a huge performance benefit is another question entirely.

2:48 that Xbox one X estimate looks about right, that's what we're in for (and then he underclocks it to console expected clocks later)


The only issue with this is there is

How many times people need to understand about framerate? Its up to devs.

Worth repeating:

Devs: We've got the game running at 64fps in 4K with everything a match for ultra settings on PC.

Bosses: Oh, so you've cycles to spare? Add more bling.

Devs: Okay, we're now at 61fps.

Bosses: More bling! More worthless effects that no one's going to notice, other than the pixel counters!

Devs: We're now averaging 59fps

Bosses: Lock at 30fps.

I think consoles makers are unfairly squeezed by consumers in this industry. Nvidia is selling at a premium, Apple does that too.

I believe consoles are the most advanced pieces of tech that are still selling for cheap. $300, 400...hell even $600 is cheap when you get mid tier phone for higher than that

On you PC you see "geeks" spends thousands on a GPU just to shave a second from Cinebench 🤣, and now Songoku san is stating that an 8 TF navi box should be $299?! The card itself is $350..and you are ignoring the SSD, CPU, Motherboard, casing, controllers....etc you want all that for a $299 which is basically the price of low end chinese phone... c'mon man

I know the comparison with phones is not ideal, but we have to appreciate the amount of tech inside these consoles that are selling for really cheap .

I hope all racing games and fps next gen will run at 60 fps locked,considering the boost in cpu if they don’t i’m not buying them,same reason i didn’t buy CTR end of this gen nearly and the development team think it’s ok for the game to run at 30 fps,even on xbox x, utterly pathetic!

I thought the same thing. Really hyped after seeing this review
Can't wait to see what developers are able to do with all that power! Hopefully the aim is a stable 60fps at all times, I don't care about checkerboaring to get to 4K.

You actually think we will ever get mandatory 60fps on consoles? I don't understand why people keep dreaming about this.

And even if it did come true why would it stop a mid-gen refresh? Midgen will be like 2023-2024 and 3nm EUV will be available.

Looks like that completely outsized Particle Physics subscore was real, from multiple results coming in. Interesting. Given AMD seems to be going for a hybrid RT approach for RDNA 2.0 in 2020, I wonder if this was a half step towards building out this portion of the chip for it.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/4259036


Navi at 200,000+ FPS, even under CUDA the 2080TI does 80,000. Interesting implications for the quantity of particle physics for next gen.

So what does the bolded really mean for gaming?

Framerate nerds have got to realize that you are the minority. Most of us gamers don't care or need all our games to run at 60 fps. Just make sure the framerate is stable and you're fine. If that's at 30 fps, then that's great!

A heck of a lot more particle physics next gen. Dust, ash, embers, sparks, etc. Assuming the result isn't broken in some way.

My pet theory is that it's also a partial step into building out RDNA 2.0 for hybrid RT, the same logic that calculates particle physics really fast should also be applicable to ray tracing, if made even faster.

Don’t listen to the 30fps wowsers. It’s always true that the devs make choices and compromises, but after this gen’s 60 renaissance, next gen will solidify it.

What's your countries?

you are presenting a VERY misleading view on Swedish (and most european taxes).
Yea they pay 30% income tax but they also pay and ADDITIONAL 30% in hidden taxes. Sweden has a personal tax rate of over 60%. So yea, “free” health care really isnt expensive.

The US also subsidizes their defense spending and medial R&D

http://www.newgeography.com/content/00814-swedens-taxes-the-hidden-costs-the-welfare-state

As far as Canada goes, yea their health system is great for people who only get check ups and go to the doctors for scrapes and boo boos but people who live close to the border typically go to the US for any major surgeries because they will actually get quality on-time care.

The funny thing is, is that the people who praise their system are the people who only go a couple times a year for boo boos and see that its “free”. But if they were to just pay out of pocket for those visits without the extra tax burden that pays for their “free” healthcare then they would actually save money
