I just don't buy it.
I barely can type in english but I'd like to try and ask something.
Do those results showing up in June/July imply that the gpu/devkit was being tested by that time? Could them not just be old results from previous tests?
There could also be the possibilty of those results belonging to and older devkit/gpu setup with missing features that were not available at that time (i.e. RDNA2 features). It's the same excuse Tom Warren used for explaining why Ms were so late in shipping devkits to developers.
yes, it implies they were still testing these gpus in june when the devkits were already out.
both ariel and oberon are 36 cus. oberon is a newer revision of ariel which is almost a year old. so sony did update their older devkit/gpu setup and still did not include any rdna 2.0 features like vrs and rt, and kept the counts at 36. all they did was a clock speed boost which gets us from 8.2 to 9.2 tflops.
Power VR would be a separate chip .
Which make things more expensive than just going with AMD.
Here the some info on it
right. this lines up with what cerny said. a dedicated hardware for rt. it does not invalidate the oberon leaks from yesterday.
I'm posting this again because you all seem to keep missing this post.
Aegon, I love you buddy, but you might need to start caveating your posts as speculation, because people are taking your posts as gospel.
lol everyone quoting me is disagreeing with me. i dont think anyone is taking my posts as gospel. its a speculation thread and every post of mine should be taken as speculation.
i did post several qualifiers last night and even today. i just cant be bothered to do it in every post. this news does not please me in the slightest but there is nothing wrong with connecting the dots and speculating on the leaks imo.
.........
Of course, this is all assuming if this is true. I am still not sure if it is. We are missing something but i just don't know what. It simply doesn't line up with what journalists have heard.
i mean there is always a chance. these gpus are out there being tested. they are real and there is tangible evidence that they have ps4 and pro bc.
but they dont exist in a vacuum. you also have a lot of sources pointing to bigger gpus being used for both sony and ms. you have sources saying the consoles are more powerful than the 5700xt which this wouldnt be. you have sources sayin the consoles are more powerful than the rtx 2080 which is already been confirmed for one 12 tflops console and a 9 tflops navi gpu simply wouldnt even match a 2070 let alone a 2080.
it all depends on who do you want to believe to help you sleep better at night until the reveal. some guys on twitter hacking databases to find benchmarks and gpus still in r&d or developers in the industry coding on these devkits and relaying that information to journalists and ex-journalists like klee.
i am choosing to believe the wccftech guy who called navi not being a gcn card in june of 2018 and has stuck by his reporting that sony is using a larger than 40 cu part. same goes for jason who said they were aiming to beat 10.7 tflops and then heard devs say that it might be even more powerful than an rtx 2080. im choosing to believe klee who got confrimation that the gpus were better than the 5700xt and now has specs that supposedly say the same.
