Excellent post, requesting permission to board the SS 12.9.RDNA of course. yes, the captain is going down with the ship. ;p
- I think we will get 56 CUs in both consoles after seeing the die size estimates pegging the SOC at 380-400mm2.
- Gonzolo clocks at 1.8ghz gives us 12.9 tflops.
- Gonzolo firestrike score is very high for a CPU with just 3.2 ghz clockspeeds which means the GPU is much stronger than the 19k overall score we see here for a 1.885 ghz rx 5700 xt when paired with a 4.25 ghz Ryzen 2700x cpu.
- TDP is the big roadblock here cockblocking team 12.9 tflops, but Rylen's tests show that just downclocking by 35% gives us a massive 80-100% drop in power usage.
- Reiner said devs told him PS5 is more powerful.
- He who shall not be named said he heard PS5 is definitively more powerful.
- Panello thought Sony had a 8 tflops gpu. MS was likely going with the sandwich strategy of 5 and 11 tflops because of this, which is why they were so sure about having the performance advantage.
- 5700XT is not a good card to base next gen estimates from. It doesnt have RT which is deeply integrated into GPU design. It doesnt have support for Variable shading which MS has already confirmed.
- 7nm+ and Next gen rdna is a thing. I wouldnt be surprised if RDNA 2.0 was designed with 7nm+ in mind and that both or atleast one console is going to be on it. It makes more sense for Sony since they seem to have magically made a more powerful console out of thin air. 7nm+ should make their 56 CU chip smaller and let them clock it higher than whatever MS was planning. but i think both consoles have it and sony has some other trick up their sleeve. #HBM4life.
