Thanks for the contest!
I think there should be a rule not allowing accounts created after the contest begun

I can't change Doct0r rules on his part, but for the avatar bet, it's no holds barred. However, we'll keep something like that in mind.
Yes this is a good idea. When picking the winners I'll make sure to check account age.
Yeah, thinking more about it, Doct0r should seriously consider this rule, because otherwise it might make a huge number of people try to create accounts only to participate once word gets around
Transistor I put all the bets you currently have in a calendar format. If you would like to use this instead of the list let me know and I will give you access to edit it.

They have given us the following figures
Sony has given us.
They have given us the following figures
- CPU - over 4x more powerful than the x1x CPU
- SSD - over 40x more powerful than last gen HDDs
- GPU - over 8x more powerful than X1S, 2x more powerful than X1X. This gives us a minimum of 11.2 tflops and a max of 12 tflops.
- APU Die Size - Massive 405 mm2 die size. Bigger than any console this gen. All but confirms a minimum 60 GPU.
- RAM Type - GDDR6 RAM
- RAM Bandwidth - ??
- Controller form factor
- Console form factor unlike anything seen before. Confirms a powerful 12 tflops console.
- GPU Features - Hardware RT and VRS
Sony has given us.
- CPU - Zen 2 CPU 8 Core 16 threads - Performance??

I know it's off topic but I'd kill for a AMD based 13 inch MacBook Pro or 21 inch iMac

It does fit my theory that the discarded 2019 PS5 APU would likely get repurposed as a gaming laptop chip, with the old steppings getting made in limited quantities to test things that aren't changing in the 2020 PS5, like BC or SSD customizations, and then extra steppings to disable stuff like the PS4 BC and SSD customizations. :)
my march 17th prediction is almost at the normal distribution huh? my chances of winning have passively increased!Transistor Fresh stats update (103 votes processed):

I'd like to throw my bet in for 3-18-20. It's my son's birthday and I'm feeling lucky

It shouldn't be too controversial. NAVI 10 Lite is an iGPU. Apple uses Intel CPU, which have their own Intel-based iGPU. The current Flagship MacBook Pro just came out with an 5500m as an option, I.e. Navi 14. Apple will not be using any iGPU from AMD anytime soon. As to what _rogame is thinking????🤔
What in the hells is going on here LMAO!
There are lots of posts about how it is huge and like a power station cooling tower and a breakthrough form factor. Its barely any bigger than XB1 (which did have a big APU) and the form factor does have potnetial to allow it to use larger heat sinks which is good. But it doesn't come across as revolutionary to me?
There is a rumour going around about a gaming Mac, so VRS and support for a bunch of Navis are to be expected.
What I find interesting is the Renoir APU being an Apple product: this means Intel is about to lose more ground, since Apple has stuck with Intel since the PowerPC days.
sony has shown
- CPU - Zen 2 CPU 8 Core 16 threads - Performance?? - you can't infer performance from that? It'll be similar to Xbox numbers..
- SSD - They've said faster than anything available at the time on PC. Showed demos. Showed timings to compare to PSpro running Spiderman.
- GPU - ??
- APU Die Size - ??
- RAM Type - ??
- RAM Bandwidth - ??
- Dedicated 3D Audio Chip
- Console - ??
- Controller - They've talked about in depth new features on the controller, I think let wired try one with demo games updated to support the haptics.
- GPU Features - Hardware RT - VRS ?? They've confirmed Hardware RT.
Nah i think transistor mentioned that every individual will have his own avatar that will be his choosing.

Is there any chance that consoles next-gen will have something similar to Nvidia's DLSS? I only learned about it a couple days ago from Digital Foundry, but I'm extremely impressed. I don't know if it's similar to checkerboarding or what, because they only went into the amazing results rather than the tech behind it, but it's pretty amazing.
