Microsoft, with game pass and this, makes for a compelling case of making XSX the defacto console for cross platform games, like X360 was (for me). I will still get the PS5 for the exclusives, but damn bro, they really got ahead of Sony in the PR game now.

And as Heisenberg stated, the consensus is that both consoles are close in power, which is another point against the Github leak.

And once again for the GitHub peeps

TimDog smiling right now. Dealer has always known. These guys have inside sources. Good to see the tiny reveal this morning.

I mean MS did kind of tell everyone this a while ago. 2 x X1X = 12TF. The idea that this was based on GCN -> RDNA efficiencies seemed a bit farcical to me - they would rightly have been hauled over the hot coals if they were pulling that crap. It's nice they've confirmed with the number, but the info was already out there.

I'm wondering if Sony has been sitting at 10 or 11tf because they wanted a smaller profile but after seeing the big tower Microsoft showed they realized they have to follow suit and upclock everything as much as possible and create a new chassis and cooling solution to support it? I dunno... the silence seems very strange at this point.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Sony randomly popped up and gave us a 12tf machine as well though.

Hrmmm, maybe Tommy Fisher Tommy Fisher wasn't wrong after all. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt about February reveal due to corona virus.

Looks like Kleegamefan was right from the beginning when he said that both consoles are double digits in TFLOPS, he even said XSX is 12 TFLOPS!

He was right all along...

Guys, even now after this news, Microsoft is still saying that “XSX is the most powerful console WE’VE ever made”....so I think Sony’s PS5 might be a little bit more powerful, we’ll see.

Does that even matter when both machines will be very closely specced?

I like how Microsoft is pushing Sony to show their hands. Microsoft follows the news and forums, and can see that people are really excited for PS5 info. Reveal date, tech specs, etc etc. Last few weeks people were getting anxious and a bit pissed that there still wasn't any info available. By releasing a blogpost with a bit of information this really pushes Sony to give us something. The longer they wait, the worse it's going to get UNLESS Sony knows that they will blow the XSX out of the water.

Guys. remember when Phil said "Do the math" and how Series X was twice as powerful as the One X GPU?

Nobody believed it was 12TF because maybe he was talking GCN flops. Yet here we are. Not just 12TF but 12TF RDNA 2 to boot.

You know what else people didn't believe? When he said "we won't be out of place in power and price". It's pretty clear to me that
the Series X is more powerful. The question now is by how much.

Sony hasn't released numbers. So it can't be a fact of Most Powerful Console ever until that's revealed. They're covering their asses if that's not the case.

I think MS have edged Sony out, but aren't 100% sure yet. It sounds like maybe we will have Ultra HD twins next gen. At least, I hope they are close either way.

yes but it was pretty easy to extrapolate the likely TF numbers from that. even a relatively normal clock speed of 1.7ghz would give you 12TF with the number of CUs listed.

and 1.7GHz is a pretty standard clockrate for modern GPUs
Absolutely agree, it was easy to extrapolate cause we had the rumors of 12tf. GH giving us 56cu made that easy.
1700 is a safe bet(though I'd wonder why not higher as we know they can do it with rdna2). GH doesn't mention clocks though, so to say 12tf proves GH 100% correct would be a reach.



From my point of view, the current marketing of Sony is wrong, it is a bad decision to let MS lead the ads in the new generation. It seems that MS has been overtaken again.
Yeah, the longer they wait, the tougher their job will be. Even if they're both equal, MS made the 1st move. And as we know from the wired articles, sony wants to get ahead of the news and present it he way they want it. That might be slipping away.

That would turn the situation around and that is what makes me think that PS5 is 13 Tflops.

Pushing? Like how Sony released the wired article and shortly after Microsoft came with similar type info🤔 Again none of this affects Sony and will do things on their terms, most ppl tht are going to buy psv already know lol We live in a nerd bubble and we are the only ones thirsty to get this info. The masses who will buy the next console just know it is coming and are happy with tht info.

I made this post days ago and kept telling ppl Tommy knows what he's talking about lol

Back then I also said the Haters Gona feel stupid.

If you would have asked me yesterday I would have said there is ZERO percent change of RDNA 2 on either console, just that alone floors me! I hope the PS5 will also have RDNA 2 and come in right in line with the XSX, if it does this next generation is going to be AMAZING!!! Hype level 1000 activated!

Lol 🤦‍♂️nobody believed it? After all these leaks saying thy are both double digits. No tht wasnt the narrative I saw, it was ppl being cautious but still believing Xbox x is double digits. And now ppl being cautious but knowing psv is double digits bcus all the leaks point to it. Except of course for the fanboys wanting the old github info to be the end result.

Yup. Idea of xsx having what is essentially a die 2x the size of a 5700xt. Not at all what I expected to be the case. Not even close.
 
Maybe wait and see? Game engines are flexible .
You're mostly right. Graphically it'll scale just fine. However, if a game is designed with the asset streaming capabilities of a very fast SSD in mind, that just won't work on games with an HDD.
Which means, theoretically, you can have experiences on the newer consoles that just are not possible on last gen systems.

More than graphics, that is Ultimately the big point of differentiation. Graphics are easily scaled up or down to match the GPUs capabilities.

The only thing Microsoft are really missing out of the gate here is VR support but maybe it will be a surprise reveal at e3? Or maybe a year or two down the road? It'll come eventually... maybe not until wireless has become a standard though.

And as Heisenberg stated, the consensus is that both consoles are close in power, which is another point against the Github leak.

well you could also say that the One and PS4 are close in power. both systems run the same games at very similar settings more often than not.

usually a well optimised game runs at 1080p on PS4 and at 900p on Xbox One. that is a 40% gap in performance.

the github data would suggest a smaller than 40% GPU gap.
and this time no system is held back by slow RAM and massive bandwidth issues like the Xbox One was.

if a 40% gap in GPU performance resulted in a 1080p game running at 900p in this generation, a gap that is smaller (about 22% if the github stuff is true) would most likely result in something like slightly reduced settings and maybe a slightly less stable framerate on next gen systems.

and if you would want a game to run at the same settings and framerate you just had to reduce a 4k game to run at around 1950p

that is IF that game uses literally every bit of power of the Series X... if they have headroom left the games could run at the exact same resolution and settings with no issue whatsoever.

I agree, I don't think this is pushing Sony on anything.

But if you think this type of leak DOESN'T effect Sony, you are crazy. Sony is watching the gaming news like the rest of us. Sony sees the tweets, sees the power. I also think your comment about our nerd bubble is VERY accurate but it also cuts the other way. People go where the games are, where their friends are, where the marketing is. It can effect a generation. How did the 360 sell so much and even compete (but lose) to the PS3 without taking some of that mindshare. Mindshare is huge and social media only amplifies that this generation.
 
Bravo Microsoft. This puts me at ease. Just few things remaining:

1) How much AVAILABLE RAM for games. It must be 16 GB minimum available (not total)
2) How much bandwidth of GDDR6 RAM? Rumors indicate close to 600 GB/sec, hoping ideally be close to 800 GB/sec
3) Wifi 6? I am thinking yes.
 
So am I redeemed. And DF. Also my source is redeemed about the PS5 at 9TF. Just around the 1080 mark.
I tell you, if the PS5 is 9tf or even 10tf and similar on price, Sony would've been caught totally flatfooted. I highly HIGHLY doubt they would do that but if it comes to pass, that is some insane tripping up. After such a massively successful generation with PS4.

TimDog doesn't know shit, he has no sources other than his ass. All he did was the math, like Phil said.
Lol. He talks with Phil and others on team Xbox all the time. I hang out with him at E3 and FanFest every year. Lot of you don't give Tim credit on what he knows. Is he a fanboy? Yes. Of course. Top of the line. Does he also get inside info from people in the know? Bet your ever hating ass he does!
