"Game tester on 4chan" instead of "someone on 4chan saying he is a game tester" isn't a good start for me...
I want to believe, but I cannot.

Fake
If it is permanent non-upgradeable storage I see 1 TB, if it is user expandable, I can see 500 GB.
XSX or PS5

lol
Seems to line up with what Jason was saying a while back re: it not being clear which machine was the stronger of the two, and it likely never would be clear.
This is a logical take. I hope, at this point, everyone can really agree with this.
the ram bandwidth differences makes no sense unless if for some reason the additional DDR4 bandwidth is counted on xbox while it isnt counted on PS5.Hunter 🎮 on Twitter

According to bloomberg, if sony splurged 4x the cost on ps5's cooling, they'd be paying as much as $3-4. I'd think it's safe to assume the lower end part absorbs many of the costs associated with design and manufacturing so performance vs price wouldn't be a linear increase.
As for GN, I think it's more to do with them knowing more of the workings at the 2 big cooling solution MFRs in china. They know how much coolers and cooling supplies cost wholesale and at various scales, so they could know what it would take and how much it would cost to cool a console.
I'd like to go back to their xbox one x tear down video. I would assume they mentioned the VC and costs associate with it.
Hopefully that is close to reality but 500gb is about 4.5 games installed.
Perhaps Sony has a very attainable expandable solution and is looking to save a few bucks on this area at launch and offset it to the user once you've got a few games installed or utilize a clever cache system. Some might not need 1-2tb for a while and others will be willing to get an additional drive
500gb or 1tb for new games will be a problem so I'd be looking designing it around allowing the consumer to add something like 2-4tb, as large and fast storage is only going to drop even more and can be picked up later in a hardware revision

To hit 12.6 TF with a lower-ish CU count (lower than 56 CUs), the config would likely have to be as follows:
52*64*2*1.9*0.001 = 12.6464
52*64*2*1.9*0.001 = 12.6464

All for a cool $600
The guy fumbled at the SSD size.
I want to believe, but I cannot.
Interesting take - you don't think they have seen the dev kit in more detail than we have? Hrm. That is possible because he does say that he can talk about it more during the tear down. So maybe he doesn't know after all and we were simply misinterpreting his words?
What if it's a fusion of Yoshida and Spencer - created by a horrifying accident while visiting AMD's secret superconductor lab at the same time. Both technically test games before release, so they could call themself (itself?!) that to throw off the Sony ninjas that try to block all outside communication from the torture chamber/official tweet room they're kept.
I'm not seeing the average game being around 110 GB when filesize will reduce/stagnate from this gen given the removal of needing assets redundacy. Current gen games go from anywhere from 20 to 60 gb on average, except for a few exceptions. I'd say 40 to 80 gb might be more likely than a 110 gb average.
I want to believe, but I cannot.
I love how these guys always try to make fake specs look "balanced":
- Xbox has better CPU clocks, but... PS5 has a better GPU
- PS5 has more RAM, but... Xbox has more bandwidth
- Xbox has a bigger SSD capacity, but... PS5 has faster SSD speed
What I said was in my time at Xbox, I was never aware of, nor did I personally participate in, any 'controlled leaks'. I never said they didn't happen, but I think people assume this is some sort of standard procedure in the industry. I don't think it is. I didn't say it never happened but I'd be pretty confident it happens a lot less than people think.
Probably inspired by the comments we've been hearing about them being close in performance/no clear power advantage between both from Jason, etc. But yeah, as made up as any pastebin in this case.
I don't think Steve has ever alluded to having close ties to game devs or companies so I'm not sure why they'd have 1st hand experience with dev kits. The previous times they've covered ps5/xsx news they haven't alluded to knowing things but not being able to disclose it. They do have strong ties to hardware manufacturers so if the ones in charge of console cooler design have reached out to them, they would indeed know things.
If Steve says he knows something or has info, I wouldn't question it for a second.
If you don't mind me asking - pointing back a bit to the Bloomberg story - if there became some sort of unexpected rise in price for RAM component, how would Sony or MS handle this? Wouldn't they have some sort of fixed price purchasing contract in place that was already agreed upon? Thanks
It happened at Xbox One launch with the Hynix fire, and in that case you just eat it. As for contracts, it depends on why there is a shortage.
It's a good call out. Sony usually does a good job locking in component prices over long periods of time, which is something I hadn't thought about until you brought it up.

Only issue I could see with too much is sony using a conductive TIM that leaks out to the smds and potentially shorts things out.
If the OS works the same as ps4, you wouldn't have enough free space to update those 3 MWs.
I can vouch for this statement, GN is top notch and not some cheap clickbaity site.
I assume they use a non-conductive paste for that reason.

Polyphony's Yamauchi wants 120-240 FPS on PS5. Yes please.
Gran Turismo's Future: "4K Resolution is Enough", But 240fps is the Target
Kazunori Yamauchi has made some interesting comments about the future direction of Gran Turismo's graphics. The Polyphony Digital studio boss has suggested that frame rate, rather than display resolution, may be the area in which the next titles in the series look to improve. Yamauchi was partici

I would have expected at least Darjeeling based on where you come from :)
What's this I'm reading Sony is limited when it comes to the total of CU's they can have is because of how they are doing their backwards compatibly? Is this what the thinking is right now? Is this the reason why people are putting credence in the Github leaks? It would be pretty crazy if this was true. Hopefully it's not.
Probably the main one, yup.
Just watched the video and yeah, his teardown mention tells me the cost is pretty specific to PS5 and what sony decided to use rather than GN knowledge of the industry.
That was my initial take as well. This is a really interesting datapoint.
My brain automatically thought back to CES and the IceGiant ThermoSiphon they introduced.
What does that cost? Three or four bucks I guess.Liquid cooling confirmed.
Leaked shot of the PS5.
Cerny has stated before games will be smaller due to how data is accessed on the drive.
Tbc not saying I believe the leak. It'll be 1tb or more.
Maybe they're using a thermosiphon! Not really, but it's cool (heh) tech.

Theres no way ms would stick with 11.8tf, ms like big round numbers.
People are putting credence in the GitHub leaks because it at least looks legit, nothing else.
Do you happen to have the github link or the page it is on? I searched back some pages and didn't find it. I'm just curious what it is saying.
I trust Richard over at DF and he said he did his own independent verification of the GitHub leak. That's the only reason I haven't dismissed.
Doesn't add up. They're probably using tap water, so I'd say under a dollar.
