This whole HW RT affair is pretty amusing to watch. Essentially Nvidua forced Sony and MSFT to demand it from AMD. Even though in its current state it's a crap of technology.
Well played Nvidia. Without thus shit it would silently die as PC only crap, but now it has a chance.

May I ask why you think it's a crap technology?

Keep in mind those were time based leaks. We haven’t heard the changes that Oberon brought to the table nor if there were subsequent revisions thereafter. (Providing those leaks were PS5 related)
Why would they design an APU with 40CUs just for a revision of a devkit? If the target specs are significantly higher (11TF+) then such APU would be pointless. You need more CUs to reach those targets. Why even bother with the less CU design?

So why aren't you xbots talking about the post below, then, posted by none other than TimDog, the finest Xbox fan there is?


According to TimDog here, PS5 is 12.8TF. Whether he's right or wrong is another story. But this guy is one of your own, and you've completely ignored his post.

You've also shat on all insiders, but now they're credible enough to quote their 'more than 10tf' rumor to use that as concrete proof PS5 is 10tf?

I'll use your weird logic then. Windows Central says Xbox Scarlett is 12TF. TimDog says PS5 is 12.8TF (2.5gz and 40CUs maths: 40x64x2.5x2÷1000 = 12.8).

PS5 12.8TF > Xbox 12TF.

And those are both from Xbox fan sources.
12.8? When did that come about? As of two days ago it was ~10 but now that Xbox has 12, PlayStation has 12.8? Where’s the article to back that up? PlayStation Dev Lits have been in the wild for some time now. Xbox Dev kits have been in the wild for a week or two and the information is now leaking. Where’s the source?
 
Also thermals and power draw aren't really relevant for chips with different CU counts and die sizes.
The TU102 is 754mm2 whereas TU104 is 545mm2; ~40% larger. And yet the 2080ti delivers more performance per watt than the 2070 super. The reason for this is the fact that larger chips are often clocked lower than the smaller ones.
When they aren't, you end up with thermal disasters like Fermi or Hawaii.
 
Osiris will be redeemed lol many naysayers will see the light. Anybody like to place a friendly neogaf gold wager? With the enforcement mechanism tht if one of us doesn't get the gold for the other mods can ban the one tht doesn't live up to it?

Wager is simple. I bet tht PS5 will be more powerful in respect to the GPU TF. Who is down?
I believe it'll be like this:

CPU: Scarlet > PS5
GPU: PS5 > Scarlett

I'm assuming the specs will end up being quite close for both Scarlet and PS5. We'll see. But I think the most interesting thing will be pricing. I'm willing to bet both will be sold at some loss initially.

So which company is willing to take the bigger hit? Microsoft as a whole has undoubtedly larger war coffers, but how much the rest of the company is willing to subsidise the gaming division is unclear. Sony, the corporation, may not be in the best shape, but SIE has been printing money the whole gen - OTOH, surely they don't want another PS3.

Spec I want to see is hard drive size. Easy win in the battle would be to be able to put 2TB on the Box for the same price. You push your digital game sales (or gamepass for microsoft), and the cost should naturally drop over time, while you convince more casual consumers to buy your box with the bigger number.

LOL, why are people still under the impression that Sony is in some 'bad way'????

Three years ago the stock was worth 28 dollars per share, now it's worth nearly 66 dollars. With a market value of over 80 billion and continuously rising. It is a 'strong buy' with every analyst and they are due to have profits of about 8 billion this year to add to their cash pile.

They have cash or equivalents of about 25 billion, rising to 33 / 34 billion by FYE.

If things keep going like this, they will soon be worth twice what Nintendo is.....

More! Because X019 was a month ago. Not week or two.

Just WOW, 12TF RDNA2 should destroy even 1080ti / RTX 2080. Now I see why MS want to release lockhart as well, because with specs like these anaconda will cost 599$ if not more, so much cheaper console is needed. I know most people (myself included) would only want anaconda, because lockhart can limit developers vision but the more people will buy these consoles, the more games we will see. When it comes to RAM I'm surprised it's only 16GB, but I think thanks to SDD developers will start to use RAM way more efficiently, because they will no longer need to cache so much data.

Something tells me the gap between xbox4 vs xbox one will be even bigger than xbox 360 vs xbox one (and of course the same goes for PS5).

I doubt 12TF though. I think PS5 will be slightly downclocked version of 5700XT. I have no idea about the Scarlett though. And 16G of RAM has been confirmed on my end as well.

I expect sony console to be slower than xbox, maybe 10TF, so it should be somewhere between 1080 and 1080ti like you are saying. Sony however dont need to win TFLOPS war, because MANY people will buy their console anyway just to play playstation exclusives. With 10TF maybe sony will not even need more affordable SKU, as long the price will be not higher than 500$.

If anything due to them kicking Microsofts ass in the gaming sector via more profits and revenue their coffers for next Gen are more. Where do ppl get this bizarro thinking about Xbox having more money for gaming related things 🤔 Boy the inferences are insane.

Those are great numbers for the bean counters and what-have-you, but they're still small compared to Microsoft's total net worth. Out of the two MS's the only company of comparable enough size to, say, Apple or Google in terms of net worth. It's been that way for a while now.

But yes, Sony's not in some dire predicament like they were maybe say 2010-2013 or so. After the massive restructuring they started turning things around a lot. They aren't in jeopardy of disappearing if PS5 underperforms, that's for sure.

Thts all great but Microsofts gaming division wishes it was in Sony's position of revenue and profit. Just bcus Microsoft as a company (mainly due to non gaming applications) is a trillion dollar company doesn't mean their gaming division has access to tht money so let's stay on topic. Sony gaming makes more than Microsoft gaming and thts factual. Both have budget projections and boundaries, thts how smart business works. Not unlimited funds. Sony has turned things around, Playstation is basically the face of Sony Corp and they are all in on tht so it's not same situation. Definitely far from diré, shit Sony is the shit in gaming now and reaping good profits.

Idk wtf this ps3 day narratives comes from ppl be talking lol but u know ppl will try to spin anything.

So is one of you is taking the neogaf gold for one month wager? The post came from Proelite but was referencing timdog so I'm confused lol

The wager is whether next box will be more powerful or PS5 in terms of TFLOPs. I, of course say ps5 will top nextbox. Whoever wins gets a month of gold from the other.

I'll take the perma-ban wager instead. XcloudTimdog XcloudTimdog care to join?

Sure you're on! 👍

OK so to be clear the wager is which machine will be more powerful via TFLOPs.

OK your on. I have ps5 being more powerful and you wager tht nextbox will be more powerful

If someone fails to pay up whoever doesn't pay aka gets the other person the month of gold in tht circumstance agrees to a Perma ban.

Great! This makes this more interesting and fun.

Guys no matter if anaconda 12TF leak is correct I really expect MS console to be extremely powerful. MS has to win TFLOPS war, but most importanly they are no longer need to make compromises. Xbox one was build with all people in mind, however with 2 SKU units MS will be able to offer cheap console, and also powerful console build with enthusiast in mind. I will easily pay even 700$ as long MS will deliver, and 12TF is more than I expected anyway.

Yup tht 10tf narrative is bs only leak tht came close to tht in my memory was the leak tht said both consoles are aiming to be above Stadia 10.7tf or whatever it is. Thts why most of us have ps5 at 12tf 😏

So, we are thinking 12 tflops for both, maybe PS5 a little higher (negligible amount)
With Scar cpu rumoured to be 3.5 vs PS5 3.2?

But we don't know where they stand with raytracing.... metrics here are harder to convey!?

Sounds good. Wish they'd dump the budget xbox though...

Yup and if the software situation is true as alluded to by Osiris I'm also copping a nextbox.
