Coreteks: Detailed video about why he think PS5 will be the better console because of the I/O & SSD

Bernkastel

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
Passive aggressiveness at its finest.

To me it seems like we have more people "concerned" and/or trying to dismiss PS5 SSD than others praising it.

Numbers are laid there, PS5 can handle more Raw data in a second than XsX can handle compressed!! And that's a massive advantage bigger than anything else between the two systems.
You mean only load ? Since the rest of the stuff is done by RAM.
 
Well I understand your point, but you are mistaken about something, the gpu will run close to that number more often then not. Here is why:
When we for example run our game the cpu is most often not utilised at 100% load, that’s due to the different workloads in the engine and the capped frame rate in consoles and the like. That means even if you have hardware overhead, the game will not make use of it. This is the correct approach as you want to make sure that throughout your game the frame rate remains constant, even with heavier scenes, which is why a little overhead (a small number) is always fine. In fact this results in some idle power for the cpu. Now if used correctly Sony devs could simply use the additional power for the gpu making it run a little faster. But again same principle goes for the gpu, you constantly want to hit your fps target and to achieve that you have to assume a constant power target from your gpu. This is where this feature must work, otherwise you would see a lot of variable frame rates, which you as a game developer not really want to see. So if Sony could not provide a relatively speaking constant power target, they would not have implemented this feature. I believe it will work quite well. But again this will not migrate the power difference between the two consoles, Xbox is more powerful but not to the extent that some people believe. Instead, this in my opinion is the best generation we have ever had for game devs as both consoles provide everything you want from a next gen console.
Cheers.
There is nothing I can write that will convince you just like everything that I was writing in the speculation thread that turned out to be correct, couldn’t convince any of the Sony diehards of this forum. All we can do now is wait for the first game comparisons and see who is right and who is wrong.

You guys made a list of devs who praised PS5 and I separated the third party devs from that, none of them had jumped on the SSD jargon
Self-Proclaimed ?

You quoted Kirby0Louise as a source.

That person made a Twitter account late last year and "developed" a small engine and now claims to be a dev for Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.


Many of the devs jumping on PS5 SSD jargon are just sound designers for PS4 indie games.

Seems like just conformation bias.

Said the difference is staggering, while others have stated differently. Since we cannot see the performance, we cannot say if that's really true are not. But what we do know is that the Memory, CPU and GPU are close.


Richard Geldreich also says this.



What he stated incorrectly before is that they're just using kraken, which isn't true. This also won't make up for the lack of SSD speed. And Sony probably has a better I\O setup. Having a decompresser won't just work alone.

So many people that don't understand tech and compare consoles to open platforms(PC), it's going to be fun when the first exclusives drop, entirely designed around the capabilities of the respective console, 20% more pixels vs something entirely different.

I really wonder... Do people play with a magnifying glass? Because last time I checked the resolution wasn't the problem, but asset loading and physics was.

Sure buddy
This was debunked actually. Procedural development in open world turned out to be highly overstated.

No, I mean capabilities of SSDand I/O block which can have tons of benefits other than slashing load times. It can improve streaming assets, hell even free resources from CPU/GPU to increase fps or resolution.

Edit: PS5 can handle 5.5GB/s Raw vs 2.4GB/s for XsX

Double that for compressed.

Oh I expect to see a lot of magnifying glass excuses from people like you when the XSX will be destroying the ps5 in every DF comparison.

- Coreteks believes there will be PS5 games not possible on PC (due to Sony’s high speed architecture and having to design to lowest common denominator in PC’s)

- He thinks the PS5 will be more expensive to manufacture because of its I/O design and 12-channel custom controller

- He believes both consoles will perform about the same as RTX 2080 GPU + R7 3700X CPU, highlights PS5’s potential in particular

- Nvidia will have a hard time marketing a $700 GPU when consoles are able to perform that well

- Super fast asset streaming is a game changer and will be PS5’s advantage over both PC and XSX. Argues that things like Sony’s Spider-Man demo will not be possible on XSX because MS didn’t focus on high performance I/O

- AMD’s RDNA reveal and demo at Computex last year may have hinted at the possibilities of a high bandwidth architecture (a la PS5). Lisa Su quoted Mark Cerny and how Cerny wants to revolutionize gaming in the next decade

- Project Awakening by CyGames shown back in 2018 may have actually been the first footage of a PS5. Also points out that the developer is aiming for a highly seamless open-world. Coreteks thinks this could be the game that Cerny alluded was using ray-tracing at a high level.

AMD only made an official post on XSX not PS5

The Xbox Series X is going to be a beacon of technical innovation leadership for this console generation.

Love this quote. But what does Sebastien Nussbaum, (Senior Fellow and Corporate Vice President, Semi-Custom Products & Technologies at AMD) know?! Vroadstar and ethomaz know it better!

XSX is more powerful no question but seriously gamers what would you prefer? Games by Sony studios at 1800p or games by Microsoft studios at 2160p? I know I would choose and thats Sony. Heck I would rather play Nintendo games at 1080p over Microsoft. Credit where it due to Microsoft for making a great Hardware but we all know Microsofts issue is software. Listening to some people, Microsoft XSX can do everything and will have everything except whats most important. Great games.

Do you even read trhe articles you link to, is reading hard ?

The actual article says., and I will bold a bit for you to make it easier...of course AMD are working with MS, and in particular API for PCs / Windows....and your point is what exactly ?

The Xbox Series X is the biggest generational leap of SoC and API design that we’ve done with Microsoft

Is this the new narrative ?
It's not a narrative, this is not "Powah of da cloud" talk here...…..Lady BernKastel, you are quite aware that PS5 has much more custom silicon and a vastly different design approach over Series X......Check how packed their MCC is and their custom flash controller boasts a 12 channel interface, that's extra money right there.....Series X is certainly no where close to being as customized and it only has a 3 channel interface.....


pNiNrOU.jpg


In pretty much all aspects of the design, GPU with the geometry engine and cache scrubbers, Sound with the HRDTF and 3D Audio, The GPU with insanely higher clocks that improves the speed of all aspects of the rendering pipeline as opposed to just packing in more CU's, the IO being packed with silicon that acts as low latency ram where high end data can be ready to go in one second flat.....An impressive speed of 2GB being loaded in 1/4 of a second is all mighty impressive and details a much more custom design over XBOX in every scenario......

There is no doubt we concede (when doing the math) that the Series X has a higher TFLOP count, but even you Lady Berkastel have to concede that PS5 was not designed as your traditional console box, by simply 8x'ing ram or 12x'ing HDD etc...They went after what was slowing down games all this time beyond GPU's having 13-14TF a long time ago.....

Don't bother, guy is using a throwaway alt account that will be long gone before his favorite console gets released.

I am.

Didn’t Cerny say that they designed the PS5 to use constant power so the cooling is designed to have it run at max power, specifically to prevent heating issues?
Also, that the PS5 runs at 10.2Tf most of the time and only downclocks at certain heavy workloads.

It's an obvious reactionary over clock, those CUs at that speed is not designed for cooling in mind.

has been asked to post in 'Grounded' mode.
The so called devs excited for PS5 are either PS5 first party devs or ex-first party devs. The rest are just "both are good" and being quoted as devs excited for PS5. XSX on the other hand had a ex-Guerilla Games and ex-Space X/Valve guy praising them for being better. If you are to quote this youtuber then I will also say Austin Evans said XSX is significantly better.
I'll post it again since people still don't know that the devs that said PS5 is the most exciting hardware in 20 years were 3rd party devs

Nor did I make that claim, the cooling is designed with max power-consumption and heating at all times in mind.

Personally though, I'll take Cerny's word over that of MilkyJoe or Eastwood333 on Gaf.
Unless you want to claim that Cerny is talking out of his ass when addressing PS5 design in a tech-talk for devs.

Really? Jason Schreier ? Same guy who said Project Scarlet is behind schedule(before TGA) and is being rushed, while PS5 is ready.

The difference is that Cerny is trying to sell you something.

In this case, the miracles of the SSD, because that's everything it's console has to hold unto.

Yeah, MS is unifying everything. DX12 ultimate, raw power.. and sony is doing customized stuff... we've seen how this customized stuff helped in the passt (CELL)

Hey Pal, how's your so-called "Real Dev" unbiased opinion



hHKq10e.png
It is so crazy that XBOX fans tout all that 12.1TF power of Series X and this is the graphics and developer that they are referencing in exemplifying this....Something is way wrong here......I mean just yesterday I was watching that Halo Infinite trailer and even that from a more accomplished developer is looking very unimpressive compared to what we will see from SWWS...….Nothing shown on Series X looks as impressive as Project Awakening and that started on PS4...

There are more impressive Indie games from PS3 over what Dynamic Voltage Games is showing here...….Why would anyone use him at all...….


This

This guy didn't understand a word Cerny said, at least he admits it.
He literally spent the most part of the presentation to explain why their custom solution won't stress the CPU.
Clearly he doesn't, he is also ignorant to PS5 architecture as he clearly does not have a PS5 devkit and why would he anyway, looking at what he is producing here...….I would not even make Dynamic Voltage sniff a PS5 devkit to be fair...


Also, people believe Cerny is just a console maker, NO. He is also a developer, that is why he is so much in touch with devs and ideally what a developer really wishes in console box.....

Me, or the devs?

Also, at no point in this thread did I mention the SSD.

Besides, I was asking a question, but I didn't get an answer yet as to how the PS5 cooling can't handle PS5 boost-mode heating.

No wonder developers are so excited with PS5. I don't hear the same excitement for the XSEX.

The only reason you guys think he isn't credible is because you misquote him all the time 😂

He said MS was behind in getting info out to a lot of studios and from that standpoint they could've been behind

But if he said "3rd party devs say that Xbox Series X will have 2X the texture fidelity of the PS5"

Then you would run with it ;)

Have you ever seen Cerny on Twitter or Forums fanboying for PlayStation? Unlike your Phil Spencer's, Albert Penello's and their entourage.....Cerny is simply a dev/console designer who wants to advance the medium both technically and in design.....He has never engaged in any console war, in any hype train or BS marketing.....

His ASMR PS5 reveal sermon was more of a PR than what you accuse actual PR people to be. XSX hardware devs dont do PR, some are in twitter but mostly talk about technical stuffs.

Read my edit, but I assume you don't have an answer? 😉

I already gave you one.

If you want to blindly believe everything that the PR spokeperson of a company is telling you, that's on you.

Only time will tell if the claims and promises of Sony are true this time or is another Cell scenario.

Cerny is a Sony employee that tries to oversell his console. Basically a PR spokeperson with the credentials of having techincal knowledge, but still a guy trying to sell you something using some embellished and questionable claims and promises.

And Jason Schreier. Checkmate

He also said this in ResetEra
Not sure if the "trying to surprise Sony" part is quite right -- common sense would suggest that, like with the Xbox One, Microsoft is just running behind schedule and will launch pretty hot -- but I've talked to a few third-party developers who said they were frustrated by the lack of info on Scarlett, especially compared to Prospero.
He compared Scarlett to Xbox One, where they were behind schedule. Most of the info we had on PS5 at time including the one from Jason Schreier(where he said PS5 GPU is more powerful than RTX 2080) turned out to be wrong.
