Sony better hope they can get the price down below a series X. But I think both of these are going to end up at $500, and if MS has Lockhart at $300 Sony will not be the once dominant player it was this gen

PlayStation 5 Specs Revealed by EuroGamer (See Threadmarks)

It would be nice if PS5 and even PCs all adopt that Series X 1TB "expansion card"
I'm curious about the thought process behind 825 GB. 825GB sounds bigger than 1TB in marketing? I guess? Just seems like a strange choice not to round up to 1TB unless they're REALLY cutting any corner possible to hit a certain pricepoint for the console, and that 175GB made the difference lol

Yeah, I think you're right on the money. Reading the Eurogamer piece it seems that the system will have a total power\thermal budget and will adjust clocks accordingly. The numbers Sony gave are the maximum frequencies for each part.
thanks for this, the I/o speed seems nutsSpec list comparison from Series X + PS5.
It won't stay anywhere close to that in actual games which makes me wonder why they put it there. On paper means jack if it doesn't translate to real world performance.
What the crazy fast SSD means in dumbed down terms
A game can load faster on PS5 in real world terms. Presuming nothing else is bottlenecking that loading.
isn't that what cerny has been doing for the past ten minutes?
Missing IO throughput ?
Here's a table of comparison for the specs.
Please note that hardware specs don't always mean that performance will be better, etc. There is a ton of behind the scenes, not on paper things developed for each respective system to perform at different thresholds.
Well it'll only take however long it takes for 3-4 multiplatform games to release before people start seeing a pattern to performance if there is one.
I personally do not think insanely fast SSDs will bring much over really fast SSDs, versus a 20% spec bump, but we'll see when the time comes.
What matters most to me is instant resuming, VRR, and 4k HDR and 60-120 fps.
User banned (1 week): Platform wars. History of similar behavior.
Just on sales.
works the same way as XSX
USB will be for back compat
SSD / expandability slot will be for PS5/XSX games
This is the side of gaming that needs to gtfo out of my face tbh, but eh, we're all in this one boat.
I'm very prepared for those who were most outrageously aggressive about the Github believers to make with the "I don't play specs, I play GAMES" arguments in the discussion threads from here on out.
Given Sony's momentum I don't wouldn't expect much of a race even if they had the same price. 825GB vs. 1TB is about all you can communicate to the majority of the audience to differentiate the two as far as specs are concerned.
I believe the memory bus is 320-Bit on XSX.

So basically the XSX is more powerful / faster in all aspects except SSD speeds. Won't lie, that's pretty disappointing. At the very least was hoping for 11 TF and not even a full 1TB drive? Hype deflated somewhat.
Seeing the differences in the specs I realized I know shit about this. Will I be able to see a difference on my games? Will it be like the PS4 vs XBO?
In terms of games? Or did you misquote?
Because to me there seems to be nothing too concrete right now for both of them.
Especially as Stadia games currently smoke PC or Console games in load times and the platform is hated :P
I do have to agree that Cerny is an amazing public speaker, quite mesmerizing to watch
I thought series x has 32gb but only 16 available for games?
The variable clock speeds make me feel like this system will be really loud whenever it approaches the speeds they listed.
Since it is the first generation that it will be used for the development of games(not just loading time) it correctly will.
indeed. As with dark1x's tweet; Sony is approaching it from a different angle. And according to the EG article:
Bottom line: both first party groups will produce ridiculously pretty games, and everything else will look and run pretty swifty too.
GOOD, RIGHT?
a commercial m.2 even PCIE4.0 cost an absolute fortune. Corsairs is like 200 pounds for 1TB and thats 4500 peak or something. It's going to be an absolute nightmare.
THey have huge heatsinks, he is talking about it now. they get so hot. this seems bad!
Not even ready for launch, oh dear. Bad, bad times.
Amazing to see the doom and gloom in here in regards to the spec sheet.
I don't like how Sony handled the PS5 info stream but I can say for sure none of this will really matter as long as the games on both platforms deliver.
At the moment it does seem like the XSX will for sure be the better device to an enthusiast who values performance primarily.
Can't wait to see how they use these SSDs, especially the one in the PS5. Good lord.

Yeah, to me this seems like the only place Sony (and really, any platform) can make up ground is through the games. I expect aggressive/subsidized pricing from Microsoft, they've got the on-paper numbers in their favour (even if in actuality performance is similar), and they've got Game Pass and more experience upscaling experiences to better hardware.
Now that PS5 hasn't come out swinging like many of us had hoped, I'm looking forward to seeing if Sony comes with it with killer first-party titles. It's one of their historical strengths against Microsoft, but I don't think they've ever needed it more. Certainly wasn't the case for PS2, PS3, or PS4.

Why did you omit IO speed when it was a key piece Cerny focused on in his talk? It seems like a big differentiator according to him and Digital Foundry.

Cheers. That's what I thought - just wanted to be sure. Cerny's examples are tough to follow since this is meant for a developer.
Cerny is tough to follow at times - not all of us are familiar enough with specs to know exactly what this entails.
