Did you miss the announced Sony strategy. “We believe in generations”
PS5 is as the PS4 was to PS3, PS3 to ps2 and so on. Architecture is just tech.

I am down for this, it's sorta frustrating to wake up every day and keep watching the June 11th event reaction videos on youtube and wait patiently until we hear and something more concrete about PS5
It's what I'm hoping for to be honest. They could just record a short video with the launch details and price. Then they can have another event where we see more of the hardware and games. It's how I would do it if I was really concerned about the competition undercutting my product.

This guy doesn't completely understand what he's saying. Yes the demo was great, but only the Nanite portion was being compared to Fortnite on PS4, not the entire demo.

Mine just says "PS5 is coming | Discover a deeper gaming experience - Lightning speed | Breathtaking immersion | Stunning games" and has a trailer and a link to the PS5 page. Not sure if it's the same as the one a few weeks back, too lazy to check, I think its slightly different.

Bo_Hazem @sircaw @Bryank75 do you think Sony might wait until October to start talking PS5 again, by talking I am referring to another event where you see in depth gameplay demos, UI reveal, price and pre order info and probably a couple of unannounced titles gets revealed and then November the console launches. Or do you think Sony already has an event edited out and ready to be aired the moment Microsoft reveals Series S and pricing for Series S and X?
Can't say, Sony is pretty unpredictable. I can see something happening this month, it's not good to go radio silent this month. We need gameplay from Spiderman MM or Demon's Souls at least.
I think the new cards will make Sony and Microsoft calculate their pricing wisely.

It's almost like we shouldn't be posting what random people on twitter say on this forum....
The PS5 I/O is over twice as fast + even better compression.. it's gonna do things the XSX can't. We'll really have to wait and see what that entails though as far as games (other than much better load times, which is enough for me to easily make PS5 my lead platform)

I’ve been saying this for a long time yet we still get posts from random fake insiders on here. Same fake insiders that got proven fake and wrong over and over and over again. People are just so desperate to the point of following every random rumor without logic.

Got a source for that? As I said, it was according to Sony’s IO patent that data streams into RAM before the IO block checks in the data into where it’s needed by the application.

Yes directly from Cerney, in his GCC announcement. Sorry, you’ll need to sift through it.
Edit : Found a summary, you’re welcome...
“The next component is the Dedicated DMA Controller. This controller directs the game on where to send the data flow coming out of the decompressed data from the decompressor. That is the job of this chip. It gets the decompressed data and tells the game where to send it. Cerny states " this equates to ANOTHER Zen2 core or two worth of performance ". So again it is a powerful unit for processing the data but it is much less intensive since it is just basically a traffic controller. You go here, you go there, you go there. So it doesn't need a gigantic amount of power to handle the decompressed data flow.”

XSS has advanced VRS, PS5 doesn't appear to have any... XBox has specific hardware for Mesh Shaders, PS5 only has primitive shaders (but primitive shaders are pretty good.)
Probably more absolute made up bullshit since that's all this forum seems to want to talk about lol
This person don't know he or she is talking about or they do & just like giving false info to troll.

Well I mean for 3rd parties.
I also don't think the graphics will be better on XSX.. but even if they are, I'd choose load time over graphics for 3rd party games unless for some strange reason framerates were also worse.

We don't know that PS5 doesn't have VRS.
We don't know that PS5 doesn't have mesh shaders.
If PS5 doesn't have mesh shaders, we don't know if the customization to the geometry engine won't still make it more efficient.
Thoughts?

Raw speed wise it's a bit over 2x as fast as XSX. Then as I mentioned, it has better compression. But compression is just for textures and you can't just multiply that in for all I/O.

The summary you quoted doesn’t negate what I understand Sony’s IO patent to be saying. The reddit post you quoted from is also off the mark on several other points.
Nothing in Cerny’s talk negates what the IO patent with his name on says, either.
Also, data streaming from the SSD into RAM before being checked-in by the IO Complex doesn’t mean it’s not in “real time”. The IO Complex doesn’t need to wait until the whole thing is copied across before it begins.
The same would be true of what Nvidia aims to do, from my understanding, too. Which is why I brought it up.

Sorry, you’re completely wrong. It wouldn’t even be logical to have a decompressor bolted onto the i/o if it wasn’t decompresssing during you know....I/o
Not the case for a pc GPU, unless there is something I’m not aware off

It's not about i/o itself, in raw numbers. Data management in the PS5 in the most inconvenient, uncomfortable case is significantly superior to the XsX solution. Just wait and see what I'm talking about. Ok?

VRS tiers is due old hardware limitation.
Tier 0: No support.
Tier 1: Hardware support with limitations (eg. RDNA)
Tier 2: Actual hardware support (eg. RDNA 2).
Tier 3? Future GPUs hardware (look at the table below there is feature with N in Tier 2).
That is how Direct X works... they add new Tier with new hardware so you have a abstraction layer for old and new hardware each one supporting a set of features (Tiers)
Variable-rate shading (VRS) - Win32 apps
Variable-rate shading—or coarse pixel shading—is a mechanism that lets you allocate rendering performance/power at rates that vary across your rendered image.

Yes there is something you’re not aware of. As I said in the last reply, the SSD initially streaming into RAM before the IO Complex performs check-in doesn’t mean that it’s not real-time, or that it’s somehow now not part of “I/O” any more.
This was in response to you saying PC is inefficient as the data needs to be copied to a GPU’s VRAM before the GPU can decompress it.
But according to Sony’s on IO patent the PS5 essentially works the same way.
This doesn’t mean it’s not real-time. Neither does it mean it’s an extra step on PC, either, if DirectStorage and Nvidia will be streaming straight from SSD to VRAM.
System RAM (kernel) is used as a staging area and buffer for the IO Complex before it is checked “back” into System RAM (user) for the application.
At least that’s what Sony’s patent says is how their IO Complex works.
None of this contradicts what Cerny said at all. Check-in is “eliminated” as far as the CPU can see as it doesn’t see it happening, but the IO Complex is still performing that critical task of decompressing, decrypting etc from kernel memory to user memory all on the same RAM.
That’s why I was curious for a source and politely asked for one, and why I believe what Nvidia and Microsoft aim to do is fundamentally the same as far as data flow goes.
A decompressor can start working as soon as the first chunk of data hits RAM, and also deallocate the original staging area RAM once it has dealt with it.
It’s not some Windows file copy where you need to wait for the whole thing to he copied over and occupy its full space before that can begin. That applies to PS5 and Nvidia + future DirectStorage.
Instead of just telling me I’m wrong over and over, and telling me I’m welcome for some reddit amateur analysis of what’s going on; how about we all just focus on primary sources and actually trying to figure out how all of this cool shit works.
To my knowledge Nvidia’s approach to decompressing data bound for the GPU isn’t inefficient (or less efficient than PS5) because it’s decompressing from and to its VRAM. I’m happy to be corrected—I’m only here to learn. I asked for a source in case I’d missed out on some other new patent or primary source that supersedes what I already learned from the patent someone else helpfully provided in this thread months ago.

You're wrong. Data that is unpacked from ssd, stored and ready to be read in memory. The whole process is very fast. Your method or from the patent, it's wrong, a little dumb and meaningless.

Another person telling me I’m wrong.
Have you got a source for that? As I said, I’m only going by what Sony’s own patent said, which to my knowledge is the deepest dive we’ve had yet on what they’re doing, and also in no way contradicted by Cerny’s Road to PS5 sermon.
This isn’t my own idea or theory. If you want to say the patent is wrong then I’m interested to know why as I’ve clearly missed something.

The source is the schematic of Cernys presentation, which shows local SRAM on the IO and the flow of data is clear.
You have seen it posted on GAF allot.
