PlayStation 5 Specs Revealed by EuroGamer (See Threadmarks)

[Dekim]

I don't understand why Sony would want to keep the price the same 7 years later. Accounting for inflation alone, $400 in 2013 would be $444 today, not to mention plenty of gamers would be willing to pay more for power.

They had wild success with the PS4 launching $399.99. Not surprising they want to repeat that with the PS5.

 

[wachie]

Get ready for hundreds of "ouch", "yikes', "big yikes", "lmao" etc shitposts.

Era is going to be rough these few days.

It's going to be funny when the Xbox One diehards want a repeat of the Xbox One vs PS4 situation and it never arrives.

 

[anastiel]

nice

 

[ZeoVGM]

Weaker everything.

Click to shrink...

But this is wrong.

And it being weaker is not a "yikes." It's an incredibly capable machine.

 

[Outrun]

That SSD size....

And people were bitching about running out of space on the Series X....

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I mean some of us have been saying for awhile that they are targeting $399. They pushed it all into the SSD.

I don't know why everyone kept saying otherwise.

:)

Click to shrink...

This is definitely launching at $499 according to the leaks?

 

[THEVOID]

In line with what we thought.

 

[Stat]

Xbox is over 20 percent better. It has more memory bandwidth and faster cpu too.

Click to shrink...

As someone who only really gets one console, it's a shame :(

I also like the Xbox Series X suspend feature.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Yeaaah, this console war year will be delicious, we're already off to a good start !

 

[THANKS]

Someone explain this to me in DBZ terms

Click to shrink...

Xbox is over 9000.
PS5 is just under 9000.

 

[Mass Effect]

Wow GitHub was right.

 

[Altair]

Sony better hope MS doesn't match them in price. Lockhart also becomes a much bigger deal now.

 

[Godzilla24]

Github redeemed.

 

[DSP]

I expect rt performance to be poor. Thats the only disappointing thing.

 

[predrag]

Well, one is a hardware company and other one is a software company

 

[Khrol]

yea i dont like this approach at all, variable clock in a console is a terrible idea.

Click to shrink...

Yeah I got a bad feeling about that...wonder how consistent the experience will be

 

[Deleted member 1726]

Console warriors out shamelessly in this thread, as expected. Both are powerful and very capable boxes and will make for amazing next-gen machines. Yes, the XSX is faster, and likely more expensive, as a premium SKU. Both will be wonderfully competitive and make for a vivid gaming landscape the new few years.

Click to shrink...

well in fairness people have had a generation of such numbers laughed at from the Sony diehard, people are going to rub it in.

 

[Hotsuma]

I just need Sony and MS to announce their prices so preorders can start. I think I'm going to go with a Series X first so I can use up my Gamestop credit.

 

[bsigg]

Wait, so will a HDD external drive run PS5 games or will that only be limited to backwards compatible games?

Click to shrink...

It's likely the same as Series X, PS5 exclusive titles must be on the internal or whatever expansion cards they have. Externals would be limited to BC and PS5 game storage.

 

[THEVOID]

Why the weird hard drive space?

 

[Klaw]

So, what does the variable frequency means ? Because it sure is a fast GPU clock... Not sure the 10TF+ will be real in gaming conditions, the wording sure is weird.

 

[KOHIPEET]

399

 

[sibarraz]

The public is fake?

 

[-Tetsuo-]

Yep, those are specs

 

[Theorry]

That SSD size....

And people were bitching about running out of space on the Series X....

Click to shrink...

Pretty sure Series X will space will be the same when the OS is on it.

 

[finalflame]

well in fairness people have had a generation of such numbers laughed at from the Sony diehard, people are going to rub it in.

Click to shrink...

Again, more console warrior bullshit. Who honestly gives a shit about this? Come on.

 

[Maple]

Has to be $399 with those specs. What's with the 825 GB SSD? Why not 1 TB?

 

[Punished Dan]

Maybe they already removed the space it will use for the OS?

Click to shrink...

Hope so.

 

[reKon]

I want to know why people are suggesting that these are $399 specs...

Just a few months with these rumored specs, most of you same people were saying $499.

What has now changed?

 

[eebster]

I guess this confirms they were completely caught off guard by Microsoft and tried to push clocks as much as possible right? I just can't imagine 2.25ghz being the target from the beginning

 

[YuriLowell]

This is 499.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Can already see so many insufferable fucking people in this thread with the "yikes" and "ouch" because this console isn't as technically powerful as the XSX. Y'all are so unbelievably difficult to please.

Click to shrink...

Yikes, woosah. Mellow out, mellow out.

 

[Mecha Meister]

That SSD speed is amazing! The GPU clock speed is impressive too, I wonder what other RDNA2 GPUs will be clocked at?

 

[DAHGAMING]

Will wait till its cheaper for a few exclusives.

 

[SpokkX]

Ugh this just screams "cheap"

variable frequency? The are really trying ro make that into something POSITIVE? It is an awful design choice

now we understand why microsoft made a point that they never drop frequency in xbx :)

 

[Super Barrier]

Hopefully 399$. Raw SSD speed is 😍

 

[Chille]

Wait, so will a HDD external drive run PS5 games or will that only be limited to backwards compatible games?

Click to shrink...

Old games probably, the games will be designed for the SSD

 

[MegaXZero]

Surprised it actually weaker than the Xbox Series X. Thought they would be pretty much the same. The pricing issue articles make more sense now.

 

[Dust]

Amazing if $399.

 

[ItchyTasty]

That 825gb gonna hold like 3 games

 

[Dimple]

So this is...interesting (from the eurogamer article)

"Developers will need to be mindful of potential power consumption spikes that could impact clocks and lower performance"

[Garrett 2U]

Well, one is a hardware company and other one is a software company

Click to shrink...

Lol

 

[Megatron]

So next gen will be reversed. Multiplats will be better on Xbox. Interesting.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

Has to be $399 with those specs. What's with the 825 GB SSD? Why not 1 TB?

Click to shrink...

Not with that SSD speed, no.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

Crazy to think we've basically had these specs for about 3-4 months now

 

[NitX]

That SSD is going cost a bit me thinks but this gen is going to be amazing. Cant wait !

 

[GoldCartridgeGamer]

So raw power the XSX is more powerful but the PS5 has a faster IO. Will be interesting to see how cross platform games perform.

Also those speeds indicate this is definitely PCIe Gen4 drives that aren't available yet. I would definitely wait on buying a NVMe right now. I wonder if Sony has some custom silicon in the board to prevent bottleneck.

 

[Deleted member 2379]

Sony needed to lean on their BC solution which was multiples of 18 with variable clocks. Github confirmed this and Sony doesn't want a $499 console.

I don't know why everyone has continued to disagree with this from the beginning.

There was a logic that some of us have been pitching for awhile.

 

[Earvin Infinity]

825 GB SSD is just weird...

 

[HiLife]

so which one is more powerful?

Click to shrink...

Xbox wins.
