If they manage to fuse together PS Remote Play and PSNow, we may be in front of a game changer.

You already see that with XCloud from Microsoft. Now extend that idea to PS5 and the ability to play, from the cloud, any PS5 game you own on a mobile device of your own choosing and there you have a Nintendo competitor (and please, make it work on my PSVita... the screen is sooo good!)

We are still living in a Data capped world, but we are getting here, especially once 5G becomes readily available.
I'm not really a mobile/handheld gamer anymore tbh.
Much prefer a big screen. I did enjoy using remote play when having to use the bathroom. But consoles exist because I just like plugging it into the main livingroom TV. Everything else is a bonus extra option.

I mean that looks, err kinda good to me, i am prepared to be filleted with that blade.

She is known to electrocute you, though.

The PS5 had a mechanism that when it was installed vertically, it took in air from the top of the front (structurally probably also at the bottom) and exhausted it from the back. As you can see from the picture below, you can see some metal parts through the gap in the upper intake. This was an object like a finger, and it was as big as a fan with a size of 200 to 240 mm.”

Also, from the structure, it seems that a sirocco fan is built in, so it seems that the housing itself doubles as a fan case. It is thought that this huge fan ensures quietness and cooling performance.

Can't say I'm surprised about how the hands-on went down today. Not allowed to touch the console or photograph the rear (why?). At this point why control things so heavily?

Having said that, the fast SSD loading and cooling/acoustic impressions are very good to hear. Also as expected and already happened with XSX the console both looks better in the flesh and is nowhere near as big in real life as in dodgy pictures/AR.

Navi 21: 80 CUs, 2.2 GHz boost clock and 22.5 TFLOPs of compute / RDNA 2
Navi 22: 40 CUs, 2.5 GHz boost clock and 12.8 TFLOPs of compute / RDNA 2
PS5 36 CUs, 2.23 GHz boost clock and 10.3TFLOPs of compute / RDNA 2

Xbox Series X 52 CUs, 1.825 GHz 12.1 TFLOPs of compute / RDNA 2 ?

Please, stop the FUD. XBox Series X/S are RDNA2 architecture based. It is certified by AMD.

I honestly think that none of us thinks that the XSX isn't RDNA 2, but remembering how much bullshit has been thrown at ps5, I understand.
Except that in this case most people say that it is indeed Rdna 2 and it doesn't become a long lasting concern.

There's a curveball I wasn't expecting. So if it takes in air from different sections, based on orientation, I wonder if putting it on its side might be preferred for airflow. I was going to go vertical because of basic convection, and because it's how the system was originally presented. However, if there's any appreciable improvement in airflow, while in the horizontal position, then I'll be running is horizontal. This is the kind of stuff I want to know about. Looking forward to the first hands-on feedback, when people have units in their homes.
 
No noticeable fan noise on PS5 at all, the console remained cold after 80 minutes of gameplay

So FunkMiller FunkMiller what are your thoughts now,

As someone that is kinda half/half about which console they want, has how the new information on loading and specifically a cool quiet console meant to you. any closer to which console your choosing or you still need more info.

I just wanted to say that I like that people appear to be calling out FUD on both sides in this thread now, and the focus seems to have shifted a bit more towards facts and realistic speculation. This got kinda topsy-turvy in here earlier in the week, and I appreciate the mods giving us a chance to work through it ourselves. It ain't perfect, by any means, but the thread is readable again.

Well this thread has been kinda like a sinusoidal curve, FUD rose when no info released, then info released and people are happy/unhappy but less prone to fud, then no info and it starts again.

Both loading and coolness seem excellent. I still want to see more gameplay, and all the UI, but I’m very happy to have one on pre order 👍 Demon’s Souls basically sold me on the thing ages ago anyway 😊

Series X wise, I can’t really make any kind of proper assessment until I see a next gen game running on it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You know, I am tired of the XBox fanboyism as much as anyone else. But keeping the war at this level doesn't excite me. After all we are still to see any game running on those boxes. They are are getting frustrated and it would be better to just ignore them.

I feel ashamed that I don't know where is this from ;[

Urusei Yatsura. A lovely story about a stupid horny human boy and the rest of the galaxy. He is a real "darling" and the jokes are just fantastics. Takahashi then went to write Maisson Ikkoku (a lovely romance story), and then decided to go burn in hell with Ranma, One Pound and Inuyasha. Oh well...

So, the official Xbox page is spreading FUD about their own product?

Dunno about it, but AMD clearly says that XBox Series are based on RDNA 2 architecture. I would leave it at that.

Yeah its just downclocked because form factor is shit

Well, it more like they wanted more CUs and had to trade clock frequency

The PS5 is certified by AMD also, but it's still called RDNA 1 by many to this day.

So what, let them talk: they are wrong, they know it, but in their frustration right now Sony has the high ground. It may change, but at this moment it is what it is.
