Yeah. I’m particularly happy since I expected Sony to give me a 9TF machine with a SATA SSD.Man these two systems will be so neck and neck that it'll come down to certain scenarios with both having their respective advantages. Everyone should be pretty darn happy. I'd never thought we'd get consoles like this. As someone that owns every system it's raining bitches.

I basically use a 7.1 system built from Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Is what I use for entertainment stuff, like TV, console... Then, when I go for headphones( I don't use headset, don't need the mic), I actually have that 1099$ Marantz Ampwith either Sennheiser HD 660 S or AKG K-872 (I love both, and they have different character, so I tend to switch between them depending on the source).
It's expensive stuff, but it's so worth it.
. I have a beloved pair of audio-technica cans and the mod mic. Perfection.

When Cerny talked about audio, he mentioned the SPUs in the PS3 were a "beast" at audio rendering and that "simple, pipeline algorithms could really take advantage of asynchronous DMA."
I know very little about audio - other than if it sounds good or not - and was wondering what about the SPU's in the PS3 made it a beast at rendering audio as opposed to the PS4? Is it just as Cerny says, "simple, pipeline algorithms?" Additionally, Cerny mentioned that they modified an AMD CU to work more like an SPU, given the custom nature behind this, do you think developers will make take advantage of this? Also, are there any examples that come to mind? I know Cerny brought up rain droplets in his presentation, are there any others that stand out? Maybe wind?
Also, what is this thing?

It's GPU-based, so it will deliver true 3D Audio, not half-baked solution like the Amazon, Stadia competitors.
I think it's worth popping into this thread from time to time to remind everyone that the published specs of the two machines show, clearly, that the Series X is a more powerful system than the PS5 and is therefore likely to be the best performed machine for third-party games.
Given the above, I note that some people have completely lost interest in the Teraflops metric, even though it's the best method we have of measuring relative capability, and now judge hardware solely on SSD speeds and audio 'magic'.
The human mind is an amazing thing.

9.2 TF GPU - Github
Github was a non-final spec. People assumed it had to be final due to the already high clock speed.
re audio, SPUs were great at being absolute number crunchers, offloading the RSX, etc. Cell and blu-ray + HDD saved the PS3 tbh. Crazy Ken.
That's just wrong. You know damn well you need to show the guy coming from behind grabbing his hamstring or something for when the GPU throttles based on workload lol.

I feel some Wollan level of memes in this thread.
And yet people were (and still are) assuming RDNA1, no RT support, etc.
People know it, it is annoying as it seems you are either still trying to gloat or are upset people are not all renouncing their PS5 planned purchases, people get it’s got a higher FLOPS rating and they are very close still (within about 15% of each other realistically), and they are still excited for their own reasons.
I remember playing Bad Company 2 based almost entirely on audio (squad deathmatch on hardcore). It was amazing. I want that audio tech back. It's much better in BFV than it was in BF3/4 but still nowhere close. I really hope dedicated sound hw in both consoles is going to create a new standard for audio in games.
Cell was very efficient if you knew how to make it work. The problem is, almost every programmer in gamedev back then when PS3 was released had a single-thread workflow scheme. My friend ported his engine from PC to PS3 and got 2-3 FPS. It took him two months (and help from others) and almost a mental breakdown to make it work on 6 SPUs. He explained how the very concept of making things work was different, from the moment you were planning your code. Nowadays more and more people know how to utilise parallel workflows. This is exactly why Cerny always stresses the cooperation with devs. They really don't want the PS3 situation to happen again. That's why they released the Road video: to inform devs locked in self-isolation around the world about their new concepts. The fanboy pandering in just a by-product and will have no impact on Sony's strategy once they show us what PS5 is capable of.
Most consumer devices have fake 3D audio. This means, after the data is rendered by the engine, a dedicated chip creates a 3D audio scene from that data. What we're hoping for next gen is real 3D audio, with waves cast around the scene. It's great that both consoles will be capable of it because PCs have regressed greatly in that domain.
I thought I had an adblock switched on for all *.microsoft.com domains...
I've repeatedly stated that the GitHub leak consisted of tests data for which we had no context. Some people used the incompleteness of the info present there and filled in the gaps for their own agenda.
