This statement here is why I don't believe this at all. No third party developer is going to know when Sony's reveal is. I mean maybe it is possible that this person is creating a game that happens to be partnered with Sony and they are working on a trailer for it for the reveal, but my doubt is very high that Sony would give them all the details far in advance.
This strikes me as weird too. How is that grouped? Like if they were testing backwards compatibility with 36 CU, then they have 20 CU disabled? What an odd number to break groups down into.....
From the way they phrase it, it actually sounds like they are confirming both consoles are coming in Q4 and not at the beginning of Q4. So probably November :)
Thanks for checking and clearing it up :)
Not every game is a AAA graphics powerhouse. Thousands of indie games will not be pushing the GPU to any limit. Need to lower power consumption.
Yes there are many tests that we did not see. But the tests themselves are not the interesting point of the Github leak. GitHub contained data telling us the Gen2 full CU count. That is not something I came up with, but DrKeo. That info makes it so interesting , not any of the test results. And that data wouldn't have changed if for instance RT testing would have been leaked too. Why should I ignore real data?
He's in the same faux insider category as Blue Nugroho and "Repost" Cat.
It has everything to do with 'want'. What seems to be the most likely outcome to you? It sure as hell isn't a difference of 30 % GPU-wise (12 vs 9.2). Not a single credible insider has claimed this, not a single one. They've claimed that they're essentially identical.
Why? I could buy every console, but games won't be the only reason, because I have a PC. So I hope there will be something else.
Agreed. But some of them you can still use as a heads up for general tech news (coreteks, redgaming, adored).
Exactly. Last-gen consoles were RAM limited, current-gen solved those issues but were limited elsewhere (severely by CPU, I/O). There's also memory bandwidth limitations to some degree, it seems. Next-gen is solving CPU and I/O limitation and will likely be predominantly GPU-bound, imo, judging from the little info we've gotten so far.
People will believe him this time because he says xbox has a better gpu and everyone seems to want to believe that
The only people I'd recommend on YouTube are Digital Foundry and NXGamer for all things technical about next-gen hardware/news.
I doubt we will get to ddr6 that fast. Anyways gpus are already touching gddr6 mark. There is no need for general ram increase as performance gain is minimal.
Oh I agree with your logic, its the basis of your suggestions I find strange. Particularly, the power gap thing. Why would anyone want that? Especially someone that admittedly says they are doing their gaming primarily on a PC. Surely you don't have to spend $3-500 for a4k BluRay player if you have a PC. You can get an external 4k BluRay drive for under $120.
We've seen a 9.2TF PS5 for ourselves?
He actually knows *less* than us :)
I dunno if he is banned but....lol, he is not insider, he don't know more than us.
They have 9.2 flash on the screen...
It's insane because Option 1 and 2 are both unicorn products. Having to only use a GPU that can hit 2Ghz or a perfect 40/40 gpu would kill the yield on each wafer. It would probably make the PS5 more expensive for Sony then retooling the whole thing.
I said this the whole time.
DF has a print publication to go along with them. I'm talking about YouTube "personalities" where they have no other outlet.
