Btw, by all accounts i think we'd heard by now some whispers/rumors if one of the HBM manufacturers (Samsung/Hynix) is ramping up production on such a massive scale for next gen console,right? And we heard nothing.
I will get ps5 doesn't matter how many tflops it has. Because of exclusives. Xbox I can play on my PC that is more capable.
I don't think big public companies like Samsung or Hynix would be able to completely hide that-it would require big investments in production facilities,fabs and whatnot.We would get at least some vague rumor from one of the South Korean papers/tech sites.And we got no such info/rumor whatsoever.Not to mention PS5 will go into full production in the next few months.
Definitely excited to see how VRS helps games next-gen. It'll should be an excellent feature.
The 8GB + 16GB rumor is pretty fake. I mean, maybe Sony does have that setup but whoever created that rumor was faking it considering details like the 7nm PS4, the 256-bit DDR4 bus and the fact that the HBM2 was running even slower than the memory on the 5700XT. The setup in the rumor was basically all short comings with almost no advantages so I find it really hard to believe.
Honestly, it seems a bit weird to me that HBM2 had dropped from 320$ per 16GB to 120$ per 16GB in the past 10 months, almost x3 times cheaper, and we didn't even hear anything about it. It should have been an earthquake in the industry, reported by every tech site, but no one is talking about it. Does anyone here have access to TechInsights so we can check the numbers?
Mike Ybarra (ex-VP of Xbox, now at Blizzard) confirms through a Youtube live chat reply (lol) that I/O speeds on PS5 are better than anything seen on PC, also implying XSX could be similar.
Note that in the first part of the message he is referring to XSX, as the people in the video where talking about XSX(not Sony/PS5) and how would it compare to high-end gaming PCs of today. Then in the second part he states that what Sony has shown is in fact (better than the PC has ever seen).
The video in question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcZtZaZmGwM
You can see him in chat starting from 1:01:41, although he doesn't say anything really noteworthy. He makes a few remarks like 8K being far away, how you can't just directly compare console integrated hardware to PC hardware, and also complaining about people focusing too much on XBox Series X as a name, instead of focusing in other more relevant core values.
The bit about I/O comes at 1:29:30 and the host notices it and replies at 1:30:39.
What's interesting to me is that while he confirms Sony's claims, he doesn't seem so certain about XSX matching those specs, he just expects it. This is strange because with him being now at Blizzard, you would think he has access to both devkits.
(This comes from another thread but the mods closed it, asking to keep this kind of crazy talk contained in this thread.)

Same. I'm too invested in the ecosystem to just switch to Microsoft over a little bit of power.
Same here. PlayStation 5 will have true exclusives and VR support. After ps4 and all the games I've played and how much I've invested into the ecosystem, it'd be crazy for me to switch. Especially when I can just play the Xbox games on pc anyways.
I'm fully expecting PS5 to deliver the SSD Cerny mentioned.Mike Ybarra (ex-VP of Xbox, now at Blizzard) confirms through a Youtube live chat reply (lol) that I/O speeds on PS5 are better than anything seen on PC, also implying XSX could be similar.

Phil already said that as well. It simply doesn't fit a certain narrative, so people are ignoring it.
No biggie.
I was working at Best Buy when the PS4 Pro launched and seeing it in the back room the week before it launched was tortureCan't wait to see stuff like this for PS5/XSX. I get hype for mundane stuff I know.
I think that is the main takeaway, yeah. They've built a really good system. The specifics and fine details will come early next year because we won't get anywhere trying to deduce facts from what has been said up to this point.
That seems spot on if you replace Resistance with Ratchet & Clank 2, and add Bluepoint's remake.
What this means is that you believe he knows the exact customizations being made to the SSD. He says "could" which is purely speculation on his part. Meanwhile he confirms things that he already knows to be fact about the PS5's SSD, and what has been a known entity for a few months now.
It's like some people enjoy falling for obvious PR tactics.
They've earned a right to be confident. Regardless of how the PS5 shakes out the Series X specs are above what most of us were expecting. We're getting awesome consoles next time around and I cannot wait to see what devs can do with this caliber of hardware.
