Interesting. So that was true, they had problems with thermals. I wonder how much power both consoles will suck. RDNA based PC with closest equivalent to PS5 GPU (r5700) with clocks of PS5 takes over 300W of electricity. GPU alone on base clocks has 180W TDP.

All machines have thermal issues these days. That’s why SmartShift exists.

Also PS5 is using RDNA 2 - a more power efficient design. So that 300W drops down to a more manageable number. Sony design their cooling for that chassis TDP - then there are “no more unknowns“ as Cenry put it.

Xsex went for a traditional solution but ugly design.

I doubt either box is going to have much more than a 200W chassis TDP. Smartshift will let Sony push more of that to the GPU.

A lot of talk about tflops and too little about power usage which with these gpu specs becomes critical.
 
I doubt it, but I do hope Sony will spill a bean or two about the controller on june 4.
My gut tells me that wireless charging is one of the renowned secrets, because why the hell not. It seems like the next obvious step going forward.

I will be somewhat surprised if we do NOT see the box before Thursday either through a leak or maybe by official means.

Am I the only weirdo in here who wants to see the box and the UI?! I mean, give me some smooth criminal animations, some nicely done transitions, and no more sluggish interface.

I mean we all know the games will rock, we're talking about Playstation now, but the UI... please, Cerny, I will scan my ears and the shape of my head, but please show me the UI!!!
 
This is a tweet from Sony just now, not Playstation just the Sony account





nothing so far about Playstation cancelling

(I know this tweet thread is political in nature, I swear I am not trying to bring the heated poltiical debate in here, I will delete this if you think I should, just figure it is worth keeping up to date with since other events were just cancelled)

Not at all mate, those details are crucial to me as well.

I'm already cautious that the controller seems to be xb1 controller sized, which I hate and is half the reason I rarely play my XB1X.

I hate everything I've heard about "Netflix like" and "live stats and info" populating the PS5 UI. Xb1's ass OS menu is the other half of the reason I rarely play it.

The SSD + CPU is going to make the PS5 one awesome media device. Apps that load insanely, responsive UIs, etc.

Don't really need to SEE it at this point personally, but excited for it. I'm hoping for something simple like the PS4 had with the speed cranked up to 11.

Why should this have any influence on product announcements?

absolutely ridiculous.
I mean, I wouldn't care if the event was postponed because of that, I would understand and maybe even agree, but in fact they are not obliged, his speech implies that if Sony does not do it they will be wrong, he is already preparing a pretext for this. Very dishonest in my view, the situation is complicated but only Sony's positioning and saying it will support them are already doing a lot.

With Madden I get it because the NFL has had a....shall we say tenuous stance on these issues in the recent past. But otherwise I agree. It shouldn't impact announcements much. Plus the PS event is on Thursday. I think things will have begun to cool off by then.

Back to the future. I mentioned it the other day.

Maybe it doubles as a waffle iron. That’s how it gets rid off the excess heat.

edit: so they are saying about 4 1/2 inches tall. Maybe that pencil drawing of it was for real.
Or maybe they added a 1080p short throw projector 100 lumens (like a better version of the one in my Handycam) so that every kid buying one can have a large screen just by shutting the curtains. Would be a massive hit with parents, and could bring back local 4 player gaming where each console projected its own 1/4 screen - perfect for an e-sports future.

//I know, never going to happen, as it would need a modnation racers 2 as a launch title

You're telling me that someone could spend a decade being an asshole and a troll and all it would take is a podcast where they act normal for all to be forgotten?
Are you expecting people to take you seriously?
Yes. Is it too hard? I don't take this all too seriously. It's supposed to be all fun and banter.

Social media and classic media will be full of dramatic news in these days, a "black hole" for al the attention of most people... not the perfect space of time for marketing a new product.
There will be no perfect time for marketing any time soon, but companies still need to sell their stuff.

Maybe you should block people antagonizing you for apologizing, I really don't understand even if you apologized to an asshole in what way is that wrong ? It just shows you are the better person.
Don't let those fools diminish what you did.Anybody here that has been (or seemed) proven wrong should apologize that's just being a good person.
Sadly we saw in a few thread that being proven wrong just trigger anger to some people.

I hear you. But that 2.23 Ghz GPU in the PS5 is crazy high, and will run hot. I won't lie. I'm a bit concerned. Can't wait to see the actual design of the PS5 to see if it will alleviate my concerns.
