[DeepEnigma]

Thank god for official information. Now I wish Sony could do the same so we can get back to talking about games.

I love your optimism.

 

[ZywyPL]

Now we need GAF mathematicians to calculate how much RDNA2 12TF transaltes/compares to RDNA1 TF and GCN TF ;D

 

[ClearMind]

Xbox "people" once again praying to their bible GitHub.

 

[bRacing]

12 Teraflops...

That's 1 Teraflop per Xbox exclusive that Phil Spencer is going to cancel.

At least you picked an appropriate username.

 

[darkinstinct]

And there it is.

We can definitely put the "but 2x the X doesn't literally mean 12!" to bed. Always knew he was speaking in terms of Moore's Law with that claim. Plus, they never shut down the 12TF rumors when they were spreading, knowing if it actually wasn't 12 they'd lose a lot of goodwill that was generating.

Now the question I guess is, is it actually "12" or something like 12.x. I'm guessing 12.18 but it's possible it could be more, some rumors were kicking up saying they wanted to push near 13 but that'd be pushing the GPU to the absolute edge of the sweetspot, and it's already a pretty big chip as-is.

So they probably won't reach that xD. But I'm glad someone finally confirmed something officially in terms of at least some of the specs, that is reassuring. I hope this bodes well for Sony and PS5 as well whenever they're finally ready to start talking again.

I don't think they will push higher. 12.18 TF (or 56 CU @ 1.7 GHz) is pretty much the sweet spot for performance/watt for RDNA and possibly also for RDNA2. They will be more concerned about not having another RROD situation, so they don't go higher with the clock speeds. It should allow them to just have one huge and slow fan to cool the whole console almost inaudible.

"specs"

List of bunch of already known features, rumored tf count.

No RAM or CPU/GPU speed.

Ok.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Cool. Good for the Xbox fans. I might grab one for a gamepass machine in my living room to compliment my pc in the office.

I've been saying a console would be perfect for that all along. Crazy thing is, I'm in the middle of saving up for a new GPU and I never thought I'd feel this divided on whether or not I should get the xbox first...

 

[Entroyp]

Ooh, there was a leak mentioning RDNA 2 and 12 TFs?

 

[Sota4077]

Well, at least Sony had events to cancel...

God damn. Do you guys ever get exhausted fighting over plastic boxes? Taking cheap jabs, even if you're joking, over canceled events just smells so badly of desperation. Sony and Microsoft do not care about you. They care about your money. They do not need you defending them with silly ass insults online.

 

[Xyphie]

MS to the surprise of no sane person validates the github leak from AMD's chip validation team, but I guess we're still going to have 6 months of speculating about how the next Xbox isn't ~30% faster than the PS5.

 

[HolyTruth]

I look forward to playing Doritos Crash Course on this thing.

honestly, it’s one of the best Couch coop games ever made!

 

[svbarnard]

What's rdna2?

 

[JAMMA]

.

 

[Yakuzakazuya]

Pleased with the specs! Now for the price...

 

[Shin]

ambiguous

That applies to practically everything.
Person X says this, someone else makes something else out of that and runs with it.
Hell last week there were 3+ threads each with their own spin of what Hiroki Tokoki said or might have said.

 

[Senua]

Goddamn that thing is going to freakin' sing, IDC about the price they fucking delivered on specs.

Then get a 2080 ti

 

[DeepEnigma]

Then get a 2080 ti

Eff that, dual Titans!

 

[darkinstinct]

Every code runs on hardware mate. Hardware accelerated can mean anything.

It really can't.

well, if the other part of the github leak is true We know how the next Xbox is 30% faster than the PS5. But we don’t know yet if the other part of the rumor is true.
we will see what Sony reveals. Hopefully soon.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

At least you picked an appropriate username.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. so original!

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

What's rdna2?

It is twice the rdna of rdna1 bruh

 

[Moses85]

It's a fucking beast

They told us. It will eat monsters for breakfast.. and it will!

 

[DGrayson]

Xbox "people" once again praying to their bible GitHub.

Is this another "joke"?

 

[KlickKlack]

hardcore monster Console.... MS is not playing here....

sony you turn........


soooooon5

 

[DeepEnigma]

Is this another "joke"?

There is a posse of Xbox fans online that are hoping and praying that the PS5 is 9.2 from GitHub, for some really strange mentally deficient reason.

 

[Kenpachii]

It really can't.

Yea it can, even the xbox series x can raytrace perfectly fine.

Wonder why nvidia advertised with dedicated ray tracing cores? that's why.

Hardware can just mean runs on the GPU.

 

[Shmunter]

No wonder Sony is feeling a little toilet shy.

MS better be sticking to this as the next gen system and not release some twink unit alongside as has been rumoured.

Solid otherwise.

 

[ManaByte]

Sony cancels events.

Phil drops 12TF RDNA 2 in a blog post.

 

[Achillias]

Holy fucking shit, well fucking done Microsoft. I don't care how much it will cost, definitely going to get one on releasedate. 12 TF FTW .

 

[HolyTruth]

Xbox "people" once again praying to their bible GitHub.

what do you mean? MS confirmed everything from the github leak for the 12TF part.

 

[darkinstinct]

There is a posse of Xbox fans online that are hoping and praying that the PS5 is 9.2 from GitHub, for some really strange mentally deficient reason.

I think the reason is pretty simple, isn't it? Redemption for the Xbox One launch. 900p and all that.

 

[dolabla]

Hell to the yeah son! I wanted a monster console and I don't care what it costs. Just deliver the monster and that's what Microsoft is doing! So excited about this.

 

[Paulxo87]

I'm certain PS5 will feature RDNA2 as well... hardware accelerated ray tracing is a RDNA2 feature. And hardware ray tracing is what sony has promised.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

There is a posse of Xbox fans

By posse you just mean Europe

 

[DeepEnigma]

Redemption for what? It's fucking plastic box we play our vidya on. Some serious mental deficiencies to feed a false ego.

 

[it_wasn't_me]

So, official RAM capacity is missing

 

[HolyTruth]

huh? The github leak had two parts:

a) 12TF chip
b) 9TF Chip

We know now 100% that a) the 12TF chip is Xbox series x.
We don’t know (yet) what b) 9TF chip is referring to. Could be PS5. Could be Xbox series S. Could be nothing. We don’t know yet.
At least we know now about a)

 

[Lionel Richie]

I don't know anything about the tech, I just want to point out that Phil Spencer is one awesome super dude.

 

[Shin]

Then get a 2080 ti

I could say that my new PC will cost between 7200 and 8500 euro, but then that would lead to more questions.
Case in point, a person can very well afford the best of all/any world without limiting themselves to a single one.

 

[HolyTruth]

So, official RAM capacity is missing

still a lot of Time left for this. At least we already know most of it and more than just the logo. So it’s ok. Relax.

I was answering the question. There is a group that rolls in a twitter/discord circle that are praying for all to be true to wear a badge of false honor on their nerdy little shoulders. It's just weird, especially with grown ass men.

 

[Kenpachii]

Honestly feel like phil stole the thunder from sony with that box. 12 tflops is pretty darn high.

 

[TempleOfIron]

I’m almost convinced about switching over to the Xbox eco system. Sony have been really silent and I think Ol Jim is running it into the ground.

Ok. This is stupid. We don’t know yet what this part is. I don’t think it will be the PS5. Maybe the cheaper and weaker series S. But only AMD/Microsoft/Sony knows. And we will find out end of this year at the latest.

 

[Fake]

RDNA 2 make even more impressive.

 

[TBiddy]

Funny how this was your main take-away.

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Kenpachii]

Wouldn't be shocked they got caught off guard with the xbox series x. I wonder if they going to delay to rethink there strategy.

Ok.

huh? Known? Nothing was known. Just rumors. Didn’t know that they are truly using RDNA 2! This is HUGE!
