Yo man, why do you posting that Twitter jargon in these forums without any narrative or context?
Can you at least quantify what that religious manifesting BS means

BTW, nice Github account.

 

[lepermessiah]

My sources have confirmed to me that Cerny is making me juicy.

 

[megreotsugua]

I can confirm that the PS5 will be 11TF - 13TF and the more important news: water is wet. Its purely speculation at this point though. My first party sources are pretty vague on the information. Waiting for confirmation form Mod of War . I send him a photo of Mark Cerny's hand holding the new DualShock 5 Controller.

You're insulting the mod's intelligence. He knows what qualifies as a valid verification.

Guy calling PS5 not GitHub bullshit level asked verification from Mod.
While that bullshit GitHub’s believers keep bullying him and making jokes.

According to Komachi, FCLK is Infinity Fabric Clock. So assuming Oberon is the PS5, its not monolithic? Why would you need infinity fabric for a monolithic chip? Its entire function is to act as a high bandwidth interconnect between multiple dies.

It's used also for memory access

see: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/infinity_fabric

 

[-kb-]

Someone on era said that based on AMD saying at FAD that RDNA2 gains were “based on internal estimates,” he doesn’t think AMD has RDNA2 silicon ready yet. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they test the silicon instead of using estimates? If he’s right, I’d think that would put more doubt on Oberon being an RDNA2 chip back at the time of Github, but who knows?

I think its nearly certain that the chips called Oberon and Ariel in the GitHub leaks aren't RDNA2 based.

If it gets serious Yes it can. Though it might effect Sony More. Microsoft has a huge Place in Mexico where they can assemble consoles at. They have assembled Xboxes there before. Plus They Repair Xbox’s there.

I don’t know if Sony has any plants for Assembly. It could cause PS5’s to run short.

That’s if Both can get all the parts manufactured at a steady supply rate.

I would expect a year’s delay now, but not because of manufacturing capacity, but because the risk of launching a new luxury product through a period where wider parts of the world economy might be rebuilding would require a launch and a relaunch 18months in (IMHO)– maybe ending up in xbox original sales territory for Sony - making the whole thing more risky; especially when it is going to knee cap sales of your successful product that is still in the field and could have more legs.

I’d now speculate at an announcement in the ilk of “Great news! The PS5 is going to be xx.xTF...but we are now releasing holidays 2021 for obvious reasons … please look forward to these great games in the meantime”. Followed by price haircuts all round for PS4, PS4 Pro, games, a new slim PS4 Pro with UHD playback, reduced license fee for publishers and games that are allowed to dual SKU for Pro and PS4… maybe even a revised Dualshock to bringing forward some of the PS5 Dualshock 5 ideas (if there is any) just to freshen things up in case Xbox still goes ahead as planned.

 

[Sosokrates]

I cannot verify this as fact. Only my Speculation based of conversations. I will explain my reasoning and why I have come to the conclusions that I have reached. So here we go.

I speculate the PS5 to be 11.5TF-12TF. 13 is a possibility slightly in my Opinion I will explain why.

It is rumored and I haven’t heard anything to counter the rumor as the time of me typing this. Is that Xbox Series X has more GDDR6 Memory Bandwidth. It’s GPU as of now is 12TF.
It take a lot of bandwidth and memory to fed and hold data for a GPU that high and also the CPU. It is also believed the memory bus of the Xbox Series X is larger then the PS5. Because of that I don’t think Higher TFlop count would be need. Because you would starve the GPU.

I believe because the The SSD On PS5 is rumored to have a higher bandwidth of 1GB higher transfer rate over The Xbox Series X you wouldn’t need higher GPU with a huge TFLOP count. Because you have an advantage with SSD Transfer rate. You can render and tile resource or mega texture ( What ever name you want to name it) data to the SSD. Which would lower the grunt work of your GPU and CPU. So you can get by with a lower clocked CPU and GPU.

With a lower clocked CPU and GPU. You create less thermals. Less heat means you can go with a smaller form factor.

Also when I say Devs say they are targeting 11TF doesn’t mean the console is only that. There is usually some overhead available that they use later in the optimization stage that they can leverage and polish up a game.

So in my Opinion that translates to PSV being around 11.5-12TF with 13 having a slight chance.

Now for the record no Dev has told me the exact TF count of the projected retail PSV.

Saying its 11.5 - 13tf gives you a rather large window to be correct. With such a large window this is not really "insider" info, anyone can say these ball park figures

E.g im an insider sony is currently at 10.8, but trying to get higher they are aiming for 12, possibly a little higher to beat the xsx. So imo ps5 should be 10.8 - 12.8

Its means nothing because it could be 10.8 and you would be right and 12.6 and u would be right, hardly insider info.

We can all be insiders if say between 9 - 14tf lol


Also i dont think there would be that much wiggle room in clockspeeds, albert penello has explained at the other place that consoles are designed in harmony, the target clockspeed will dictate the heat, which will determine the cooling system which determines the size of the case.
Now clockspeeds can be changed but by how much will depend on how aggressive or conservative the designers where in there initial design. For example the XSX has said to run very quietly, which may give them some Headroom for increasing the clocks but it would result in a higher fan speed and more noise.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Sorry, but I'm done with the steady conveyor belt of insiders now. I mean this latest one seems to be saying anything from 'around 10TF' to now being 11.5-13TF and things like 'PSVR2 overhead' over a 3 week period. I just don't believe any claims that say the target spec changes multiple times in 3 months. Devs wouldn't know which way was up!

Andrew Reiner said last June the PS5 target specs were above Scarlett which I believe would've been well after the 12+/4+TF leaks that were then confirmed months later.

Yea arthur gies confirmed from early 2019 thats what he got from his dev friends .(12 tf and 4 tf )

Klee said the same .


But lets see how it turns out .

 

[ANIMAL1975]

Shocking Lolz. I used to be pretty into developmental GPU leaks a long time ago and the data was typically spot on with the mixed in. Especially Nvidia chipsets with their GFX 100 coded numbers.

Analysts/Leakers could tell typically what these Nvidia chips were by GPU die sizes, embedded numbers from previous GPU generations, and obviously by other technical means.

There could be very simple straightforward GFX counterparts that have the same chip number from one generation to the next.

That shit makes it obviously much easier to decipher unlike crazy ass codenames from The almighty Oberon from Github lol.
There's the exception as well that could end up with a release code of the chip that doesn't specifically match the allocating market number, like a Nvidia GTX 295. Sorry don't have the code number.

That's definitely an oddity in the GPU table but is way easier to speculate on what that Nvidia Graphics card might officially entail when speculating after a manufacturing leak.

Point is, every enthusiast reporting on an upcoming PC components Graphics card, would always stipulate that the interpretation of the product was a very well conceived educated guess upon examination.

These Github nut tuggers treat the Oberon Aerial leak as a puro definitive truth leak . Bunch of IMO that don't have great intentions with their Github religious beliefs

And, ugh; After AMDs financial day conference, the Github data should have been kicked off the planet for good y'all.

And also after BGs confirmation _ he's a verified dev with first hand knowledge! _ their excuse for not believing (totally disregard!) in Gavin Stevens OsirisBlack and HeisenbergFX4 ,,,, is that they only have second hand information! Hearsay! Other people telling them stuff that could be wrong, deceiving... And then everyone of this guys completely ignored BGs posts _ not even once engaged in conversation with him to get some sort of clarification, or his first hand actual knowledge... not even once! _ and yet here they are, every single day, writing walls of text about how we can not dismiss Github because is the only hard data,... no hearsay, no second hand information.
Why? They're masochists and already know the probable outcome of their behavior but don't mind. They are in complete fanboy denial. Or it's just a campaign to spread a negative environment around the PS5, (taking advantage of Sonys silence) ... or just, plain and simply, to poke PS fans (and fanboys) jimmies while they can lol

I can confirm that the PS5 will be 11TF - 13TF and the more important news: water is wet. Its purely speculation at this point though. My first party sources are pretty vague on the information. Waiting for confirmation form Mod of War . I send him a photo of Mark Cerny's hand holding the new DualShock 5 Controller.

Why are you already bashing the user, when he has sent info for verification and without knowing its outcome!?
You prefer to be talking about Qled vs Oled TVs, and pizza with pineapple or without, and coffee vs hearl grey tea???! like in the last 24 hours at this place?

That's not what he sent for vetting! That's his personal opinion, after the things he have heard, been told by his sources _ read all the posts!
What he's verifying is a conversation with one dev that allegedly told him, one of the past leaks is 100% true, but he's still awaiting for clarification on which one. Meanwhile already wanted to provide proof to Mod of War .

Sorry for the DP

I avoided talking about pineapples inside beef burgers being a hit here few months back and you actually need to come fast for the guy doing it or he'll run out of ingredients. Now I feel more secure with that inflated, strong arm siding with me and protecting me from potential death threats. You know, just like vegans. (I have nothing against vegans though, but I find them a bit hostile against meat-eaters)

Good Question. Unfortunately I don’t have the detailed answers you seek. Maybe you can find them if you Google the Sony SSD NAND Patent.

I do believe and I’m under the assumption. That while it’s it in tile resourcing/ Mega Texture mode it can read and write at the same time in a virtual ram state. With the amount of allocated memory to virtual memory. I not 100% sure though...you would have to fact check that..

Makes no sense for RDNA2.
And I recall AMD saying it can be EUV but it will be called 7nm.

“In order to avoid confusion, AMD is dropping the ‘+’ from its roadmaps. In speaking with AMD, the company confirmed that its next generations of 7nm products are likely to use process enhancements and the best high-performance libraries for the target market, however it is not explicity stating whether this would be N7P or N7+, just that it will be ‘better’ than the base N7 used in its first 7nm line.”

AMD Clarifies Comments on 7nm / 7nm+ for Future Products: EUV Not Specified

www.anandtech.com

Well, you make a fair point. So they've explicitly said that they have not said that it's EUV, but have not clarified what it is.

I'm fully expecting Zen 3 without EUV, and for next gen consoles to be based on at best the same none EUV process.

And sorry for being a bit of a dick last night, that wasn't right.

pastebin.com

The YT channel MarlonGamingNation (direct link to channel), posted this pastebin link on the chat that was sent to him from someone who he says is a legitimate inside source within SIE iirc. This Marlon guy though does have connections within Sony, he was also actually in one of the documentaries they made for (I THINK) God of War. Also, that Ubisoft or Activision developer that mentioned a 14TF PS5 devkit in existence, watches his stream daily and out of nowhere on one of his streams, mentioned an ergonomic adjustable grip for the PS5 controller in the comments. And in one his streams from late February, his SIE source told him that the PlayStation store for PS5 will have a completely separate UI and will be called GAMERS’ MARKET with features like trading/buying games with credits or something. Idk exactly what he said, but here’s the link to THAT PART of the stream. Even though he says his source is legit, I always took whatever he said with a HUGE grain of salt, until about two days ago on Wednesday, March 11th. His source told him during that day’s stream, that the Ellie edition for TLOU2 will be restocked and go on sale again on March 13th on the PlayStation Direct store. And today...



This is why I’m starting to think his source actually has a chance of being legit, but again this is all just pure speculation. That pastebin link says they’ve unlocked 15.05TF by clocking 56 CU’s all the way up to a whopping 2.1 GHz on the devkit (Those are devkit specs because there’s no way in hell we’re getting 32GB of RAM on the retail version) but iirc, Marlon said they were looking to settle at somewhere around 11TF in one of his recent streams, which is the current number that’s been floating around recently. Now, I’m not asking you guys to 100% believe whatever this dude says, but at least when it comes to rumours, I think we should treat all rumours equally instead of quickly moving to dismiss them. They all have an equal chance of being true or false just because of the fact that Sony has barely mentioned ANYTHING regarding the PS5 up until now. Just my humble opinion, what do you guys think about this?

I wonder, why this post didn't get more traction......A 15TF PS5 would be great and my money was always on 32GB Vram…...


Funny enough, the rumor also says, the 15TF is not even the PRO version of PS5, it's the vanilla version....

CPU @3.86 GHz, GPU with 56 CUs and 15.05 TFLOPS, 32 GB RAM, 1.5 TB SSD - all for US$499

The supposed leak states a powerful RDNA 2 7nm AMD GPU with 56 compute units @2.1 GHz, which apparently can reach a peak performance of 15.05 TFLOPS.

• Zen 2 semi-custom 7nm CPU with 8 cores/16 threads @3.86GHz.
• RDNA 2 semi-custom 7nm GPU with 56 CUs @2.1GHz (up to 15.05 TFLOPS peak).
• Double rate fp16, variable rate shading, integrated geometry culling via GPU.
• Hardware-based ray-tracing processor (contained within APU die) for shadows, reflections, global illumination and particles.
• 32 GB GDDR6 RAM: Around 1,024 GB/s bandwidth via 512-bit memory interface (GDDR6 video memory modules).
• 1.5 TB semi-custom NVMe SSD. Expandable/upgradable via modules.

An Activision Dev did say there was a 14TF Devkit around and he also spoke about the haptic controller and had info on the overhaul with the Playstation Network......Whatever it is, I think when Sony reveals, there will be lots of exciting info unveiled...
