really? That's bizarre. Maybe power doesn't matter to the masses after all. Or Xbox simply isn't as popular a brans as i thought.

Didn't the ps5 logo get like 3 million likes. How many likes did this news get?

it's all about meme-ability. you can meme about Sony going onstage to reveal a logo that looks literally the exact same. so people make fun of it and share it for that reason as well.
you can't really meme about hard data and feature infos

 

[DaMonsta]

No one said 12TF until after Microsoft said double the power and Digital Foundry confirmed it with their “sources”

After that all the “insiders” tried to retrofit their prior assertions to that number. Klee was just riding the wave like the rest of them.

 

[hemo memo]

What's the point of having insiders in this thread if you guys still arguing about which console is more powerful?? I mean the entire world said they're VERY close in power why people still arguing??

He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.

 

[deccangamer]

O On Demand Are the older consoles forward compatible. Dont you think my assumptions fits right into it ??? One X selling alongside Series X ?

I was just supporting my argument that PS5 is most probably a 9tf machine.

[LED Guy?]

Is this twitter? Im mature enough mentally to carry myself different in different situations/places,
where your obviously not (per your twitter and accounts getting suspended and all)
And on that topic, I dont hide behind different names at various sites like yourself.
Either way, has no relevance to topic.

You fanboyed out which was ridiculous to begin with, when you should've just stayed quiet

Haven't you heard of it? Mine got suspended because my profile header was TLOU 2, it was marKed as "violent imagery" LOL!!

Nope I have my same picture which is this blue circle LED that I post comments with.

 

[Ellery]

If I had a dollar for each comment prophesying a possible doom scenario for Sony I could afford a 12 Teraflops gaming console with 12 months of gamepass and 7 bags of my favorite Doritos which I don't know what my favorite flavor is because my country doesn't carry as many doritos flavors.

 

[Kobi]

Literally playstation can rebrand the PS4 pro as the ps5 and it would still get more hype and probably still sell more than xsx. They knocked it out the park this gen and are in a very fortunate position.

Who is saying sony is doomed...? Did a miss a page or something?

The point is that they aren’t insiders. Who the hell is this tommy fisher fellow ? Your insider osirisblack has been wrong in like everything he has ever predicted. Hell even now he was, up until recently, pitting the xsx slightly BELOW 12 TF (when it was obvious that it would be at least 12 TF, what was he saying 11.4, 11.6, whatever)just to try and differentiate his estimate compared to everyone else . Now things changed and the XSX is slightly more powerful than the ps5 according to him, but when the next devkits arrive maybe the ps5 will be more powerful and so on and so on.

Bottom line, forget the insiders, hell forget the AMD leaks and try to observe each company’s messaging thus far, objectively. It is not difficult to understand what is going on, just like it wasn’t difficult before the ps4 and Xbox one launched.

 

[splattered]

Shit if I were Sony I’d wait til after MS e3 conference and crush their souls with games that were done for the 2019 launch that are pretty much should be well polished by now!

actual first party games that can be played now and not just halo and Gorza!

I somewhat agree with this statement. Ps5 is gonna have a killer launch lineup because this year's 1st party titles are still gonna be relatively fresh once the ps5 releases.

Question is though whether or not Sony is going to follow MS' lead and let you upgrade the ps4 games for free that you just bought a few months prior.

This is not a standard Sony business practice so if it does happen you may even have all the positive buzz MS is generating to thank for a pivot like this.

Personally I am still getting ps4 TLOU2 and Ghosts before ps5 drops.

If Sony does put its middle finger in our faces and make us buy the games twice I will most likely at that point say fuck it amd wait a bit to buy a ps5 and get the "enhanced" versions of the games later on down the road when they're on sale.

Wrong.

Klee said double digits way back in August.

Jason said they were both aiming to beat 10.7 tflops way back in March.

When was this? (the date of the 12TF thing). Klee said both double digits in August last year. I'm trying to see where he said 12TF, but I am really lazy and can't be arsed looking for too long.

He never even actually said 12TF.

He said something to the effect of “Xbox being 12TF doesn’t change my prior predictions”

Then he asked for a ban and disappeared.

 

[it_wasn't_me]

The silence is pretty annoying now. Though Sony can not allow MS to control the message on next-gen so surely they will reveal something soon.

Sadly, Sony can do exactly that. Whatever plan they have in place, they are clearly sticking to it.

Well

2 different points - I think Sony would not allow or WANT to launch a console with a big difference in TF to the competition.
Secondly, what is happening is China, due to the virus is hitting Sony plans and schedules, yes.

How this clarifies my POV

PS5 and Xbox Series speculation |OT11| Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War [NEW NEWS, NEW THREAD - CHECK OUT THE STAFF POST]

Wow! pretty active night, with lots of bans. 😦 Very informative post. There was more to the disparity between one x, and pro. It wasn’t just the TF. So if everything is in the same range, then that gap difference(one x/pro) could very likely never materialize.

[deccangamer]

Wrong.

Klee said double digits way back in August.

Jason said they were both aiming to beat 10.7 tflops way back in March.

Dude they are all bogus. These companies work closely with AMD. Its not difficult for them to hit 20 tflops. They are trying to balance the cost vs performance. The way these people describe "aiming to beat 10.7 tflops" itself shows they are not devs.

 

[DaMonsta]

Wrong.

Klee said double digits way back in August.

Jason said they were both aiming to beat 10.7 tflops way back in March.

Double digits is not the same thing as 12TF

If they knew 12 they would say 12.

 

[01011001]

Jason said they were both aiming to beat 10.7 tflops way back in March.

there is no way Microsoft was "trying" to beat 10.7TF with the GPU they have. they will have a wide enough GPU that even a low clock of 1.5ghz would have them around 10.7TF, so that is a very VERY weird phrasing to say the least.
the chip they are using, which was in development for years and basically had finished target specs for ages has no issue reaching above 10.7TF.

so I also say that's bullshit and vague on purpose.

 

[hemo memo]

Sadly they don’t sign NDA’s for that.

 

[Fulcizombie]

Klee said double digits way back in August.

Double digits is NOT 12, and Klee never mentioned the number 12 before Spencer said it and a gazillion of media wrote about it. Double digits was rumored for a loooong time. Anyway one has to look at how active Klee was, preaching his gospel, before MS revealed the XSX form and how he basically shut up after that. Then , as February loomed in the horizon, he asked fo a self ban instead of staying to enjoy his upcoming «triumph» that never came to be because plans change.

11.6/12.4 never changed numbers and those are gdk not retail units. Yes I did say the PSV gdk was loud and hot and it was. Newer one is not pretty simple actually. I still stand on those original numbers as I said I will die on this hill. I would like to know who said the XseX was finished and in form factor and out in certain peoples homes before i did. That's not just a toss shit at the wall statement. Also about the day drinking who says we didn't go out to eat? I mean I did send a Mod verification as to exactly where I was before I posted anything about it. Its fine though keep beating that drum. You keep hating and I will keep on day drinking . Also don't twist my words I said that the newer gdk is slightly ahead and it is if you ask my opinion I still think the PSV will release with a higher overall TF and performance number than the XseX. Nothing has changed they were BOTH targeting 13TF as stated before so I don't even know why people keep saying 9. This gets funnier as time goes by though ..... Osiris "New game runs at 4k 90fps locked" few days later Microsoft "Were supporting 4k and up to 120fps." Yep you're right I have no idea or clue and the pictures (multiple) I sent the mods don't mean anything. /s

 

[DrDamn]

So if the PS5 BoM is around $450 and the Xbox SeX BoM is around $480 and the PS5 is said to have a more expensive cooling solution, how does the PS5 manage to have more TF? What crucial info am I missing here?

BoM estimates were just that, estimates. Based on what exactly we don't know. They are going to have a fair bit a error in there though. The "more expensive" cooling solution was in relation to what Sony normally uses and estimated to be a few $. I'd assume MS also has a similarly "expensive" cooling system too. We still don't know everything about each machine or crucial details about how they have achieved the performance they have. Even estimates when they have the machine to tear down isn't a precise figure. Lots of unknowns. So don't read too much into those figures. The $450 figure was also a different source to the $480 figure - so more errors in terms of comparison creeping in there.

 

[Agnostic2020]

[longdi]

Yep! Sony just need to tweet something with how instant and accessible social media is now.

MS is already seeding the ground for a $499 or more price. 12tflops seem to resonate well with core gamers, the first in the lines.

This is in contrast with Xbox1 TVTVTV act. If Sony plan is to hold it until a big conference, then they better make it really good. If not, it will be their TVTVTV moment

 

[DeepEnigma]

OsirisBlack also said that devs were drunk at work. what a joke. Guys you are all being too gullible.

A lot of devs do this. It is pretty wild west sometimes. Many a luncheons and dinners some would throw back a few, then head back to the office.

This is pretty common in white collar environments, not just gaming.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Pretty sure I or someone could lay down an authentic spec sheet signed by Cerny himself at 12TF or even 13 ,whatever..equal to Xbox SX and we'd still have people saying "Nah, it's 9".

How many times did Cerny have to explain, "IT IS HARDWARE RAY TRACING YOU FANATICAL IMBECILES!" - Cerny, probably

 

[01011001]

This gets funnier as time goes by though ..... Osiris "New game runs at 4k 90fps locked" few days later Microsoft "Were supporting 4k and up to 120fps." Yep you're right I have no idea or clue and the pictures (multiple) I sent the mods don't mean anything. /s

uhm, Microsoft said 4k120 way back at E3... that is not news

You should see what people do during filming between set breaks .....

 

[On Demand]

O On Demand Are the older consoles forward compatible. Dont you think my assumptions fits right into it ??? One X selling alongside Series X ?

I was just supporting my argument that PS5 is most probably a 9tf machine.

What does this have to do with your post or my response to it?

My point is I always see people thinking up scenarios where everything must line up with MS plans. That any type of Sony counter is impossible and the best thing for Sony is a cheap $399 9tf console.

"MS needs to be more powerful" That's nice. What does that have to do with Sony and their own design goals? What if Sony wants the PS5 to be the most powerful too?

Sony and MS can't control what each other is doing.

 

[Mr Moose]

8K 120fps, but yeah.

[JLB]

This leak proved one thing, they didn't know that plans changed for PS5. They didn't even know if PS5 had ray tracting, lol. Proves right there that the 8TF was wrong. Like I said, 8TF was supposed to be a 2019 launch. Along somewhere Sony scrapped that plan and went with a beefier machine for a 2020 launch.

no expertise on the field, but is it possible to craft a new console on 12 months? isnt dev times like much longer?

No. Yes, but you don’t want that.

But it is possible to make a console, then half way through decide you want to change plans, and then take a shorter time to adapt.

 

[splattered]

Lol true . I m just giving the numbers and also on ms side this was non news for many as everyone thought it was 12 in December .

 

[mckmas8808]

Yeah he was deffo wrong, but 12tf RDNA isn’t almost as powerful as a 2080ti. That runs at like 15-16tf.

A 12TF RDNA2 GPU should perform like a 14.5-15 TF GCN GPU though. So that's SUPER close to a 2080ti.

dude. no. just no. go back and read this thread and see how many people here refused to entertain double digits. this is aggravating, we are now completely disregarding actual history.

Double digits is NOT 12, and Klee never mentioned the number 12 before Spencer said it and a gazillion of media wrote about it. Double digits was rumored for a loooong time. Anyway one has to look at how active Klee was, preaching his gospel, before MS revealed the XSX form and how he basically shut up after that. Then , as February loomed in the horizon, he asked fo a self ban instead of staying to enjoy his upcoming «triumph» that never came to be because plans change.

double digits is not 12. now ive heard everything. 12 must be triple digits. absolutely shameful stuff.

when klee said double digits in 12 august, all xbox fans hiding behind their team thermals moniker jumped down his throats. he went out of his way to describe the actual conversations he had with his source who confirmed that both consoles were double digits, were more powerful than the navi 5700xt and had more tflops. when harrassed time and time again by team thermals who refused to go above 10 and asked if it was 10.1 or 10.2, he said no, higher.

one thing this gen has showed me is how toxic some fanbases can be. here is a guy who was proven right in the end, and yet the harrassment he received has continued. like wtf more do you have to do? OsirisBlack be prepared to recieve the same backlash after the ps5 reveal because its clear that these people live in an alternate reality where 12 tflops is not double digits. they are completely delusional to the point they refused to believe the only guy who said their precious console was more powerful than the 5700xt in terms of rdna tflops.

feel free to shit on him when ps5 turns out to be 9 tflops, but as for right now, phil himself has proven him right. the xbox series x being 12 tflops proves him right. period. end of story. otherwise, get checked for borderline personality disorders because your ability to perceive reality is completely skewed, this is not normal.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

K Kobi Hey what AMD post are you referring to? Was it posted yesterday? Because I definitely would've missed it if they did (with all the other stuff that was happening yesterday) xD.

it's all about meme-ability. you can meme about Sony going onstage to reveal a logo that looks literally the exact same. so people make fun of it and share it for that reason as well.
you can't really meme about hard data and feature infos

Not only that, but it's a pretty vapid metric to try use in gauging how next-gen systems will perform in the actual market (never mind that, as you've hinted, it lacks context into what people saw into the post).

 

[Gavin Stevens]

but my understanding is that you can make slight improvements like when xbox one got a little bit overclocked.
If ps5 was had an original 2019 release date, then it isnt rdna2 right? is it possible to move from rdna to rdna2 in such short timeframe?

Clock changes are easier than cu count changes and the like, which require a complete redo. Yes it’s tricky because it puts other areas out (as I said earlier in another post) but much easier. That wouldn’t take a year, it can be done with a quick enough turn around.

The RDNa thing for both consoles I also talked about earlier too in this post:

Next-Gen PS5 & XSX |OT| Console tEch threaD

That's true, but that could also have to do with the form factor the console might have. We'll see eventually. I would be surprised if Sony doesn't drop any information in March. Well everything we've heard points to it being expensive. Adding 1 tflop over XBSX is not going to be costly on its...

www.neogaf.com

“Both systems are rdna 2, but not. They are essentially rdna 1.9 so to speak, with features bolted on, meaning that you can call it the next generation of rdna, you could even call it rdna 2 if you wanted. I wouldn’t myself but that seems to be what they are doing so ok.”
