The notion that the PS5 will down clock all the way to the point that it is a 9.2 TF machine is pure fantasy based solely on the GitHub leak. There is no reason to believe the PS5 would throttle that severely. Even after getting official specs from the horse's mouth, certain people still cling to the GitHub leak for dear life.


Once it became clear that RDNA2 was able to have more efficient power, having a GHZ over 2ghz became more reasonable.

I thought the PS5 would be anywhere from 9-10TF and it ended up being correct

Matt has, yet again, hinted at most games being identical, with some catering to the advantages of one or the other (slightly better GPU, twice as fast SSD), which has me really excited for the exclusives on each - I can't wait to see more of both!

Yep with Sony going open world or games being much wider like TLOU2 or GOW i expect them to make that SSD work over time.
Really hype to see what WWS going to do .

Going to fantasize about the streaming system's potential courtesy of the raw SSD speed that our resident Brad Sams labels, "gospel". Perhaps the following is from the Book of Genesis:

From macro to on foot detail.

What "most people" who spread a lot FUD were saying was that a "9.2 tflops console" would be a "best case scenario", since maintaining 2.0 GHz GPU frequencies wasn't plausible. The PS5 was supposed to be a "~8 tflops console" at best...

The only thing right about any of the stuff was that both consoles did end up having double digit tflops. Matt was the only one accurately predicting the difference between them (he said about a ~15 % difference) and continously noted how close these consoles are/were, both before and after GitHub.

There's no doubt GitHub got things right, but a lot of things wrong. No RT, no RDNA2, no 2.23 GHz clockspeeds, no 10.28 tflops... It was, aside from the CU counts - still - mostly wrong. Matt is the only one who's been consistent throughout this, even going as far as predicting MS'll have a slight edge in tflops.

My reaction to the variable frequencies on the PS5 was, well... Let's just say, I really doubted Cerny. I'm taking more of a "wait and see"-approach now.

Matt has, yet again, hinted at most games being identical, with some catering to the advantages of one or the other (slightly better GPU, twice as fast SSD), which has me really excited for the exclusives on each - I can't wait to see more of both!

Yeah I pretty much agree with all that you said. I'm really excited about both consoles.

Would it be fair to think of (not in actual performance, but relative difference between the two) the Xbox Series X GPU like standard clocked GTX 1080Ti
and the PS5 like a highly overclocked GTX 1080?

Brad followed it with this tweet...
great journalism.....lmfao

If the Series X is a Chiron then the PS5 is a McLaren P1 GTR.

For non car guys: Chiron has higher top speed and faster acceleration but the P1 GTR is faster around a track.

Both being extremely fast, but one edging out the other slightly. This is why this bullshit FUD needs to end.

Curious. whats the math on about how many watts would the ps5 need to drop to even hit 9.2? Cerny specifically said "when that worse case game arrives it will run at a lower clock-speed. but not too much lower. to reduce power by 10% it only takes a couple % reduction in frequency, so i would expect any down-clock to be pretty minor" we're talking 2% of 2.23Ghz only brings it down to 2.185Ghz. Im not sure how these journalist are even coming to that (spending any or a significant amount of time at 9.2) conclusion.
Because github.

To go down to 9.2 it would have to run at 2Ghz flat.

Yes, GitHub didn't tell the full story. But it was the most tangible, real piece of evidence of how next-gen was looking that we ever got. And yet, because it wasn't as favourable to a certain console, you had a lot posters (some of whom are in this thread in fact) trying to discredit it at every turn. And no, I'm not talking about the people who just said it wasn't representative of the final hardware. I'm talking about the people that vehemently tried to deny that it had any relevancy whatsoever. It got to the point where if you dared to bring it up you were quickly shutdown. One mod went as far to threaten to ban people who brought it up. Another mockingly used it as a joke answer in one of the many polls.

But what was allowed and encouraged instead? Random insiders, who couldn't even prove they had access to next-gen specs, apparently. You dared to try and doubt someone like Kleegamefan and you better watch out. The guy that, at best, turned out to be massively misinformed; and at worst, turned out to be a pretty blatant liar, was apparently more believable than actual, real leaked numbers. Because no, he didn't just say they're both going to be double-digits. He claimed the PS5 was going to be even higher than XSX's 12TF. But at least he was an actual "verified" poster on this site. What was even worse were people completely refusing to believe GitHub had any relevancy, and instead desperately clinging to the likes of "Tommy Fisher", OsirisBlack and the 13TF+ rumours back at NeoGAF. One of whom has just recently got banned in this thread actually.

So yeah. Sorry, I know this is completely OT and a bit ranty, but as someone who was a part of the next-gen threads from the beginning, it's a little frustrating to see some of the posters who were there just slinking back into the background in threads like these, hoping that their crazy, and quite frankly in some cases, fanboyish behaviour, is quickly forgotten about.

Both consoles are about to launch amidst (or hopefully shortly after) a pretty serious worldwide recession. On one hand, launching cheap would definitely increase first year's sell-through, but would also cause tremendous losses while in a slower economy, attach rate might not be as high as it was in the past few years.
I would say launching at you BOM or very slightly below it would be the best option as hardcore fans will probably buy up the stock anyway, and if sales stall, you can always drop a few dollars.

I'm not seeing a 399 PS5 in 2020, not in the economy that's likely to come.

IGN must be spreading FUD too (12:30) the Dev even days Cerny pulled a fast one with the numbers. DF spreading FUD by saying it's either or both GPU and CPU can't be at max at the same time...man lots professional journalists spreading FUD apparently.

Lmao. There was no mention of "Dev" and he was speculating like everyone else, no actual experience with the systems. "Software developer" is a broad term and not everyone is qualified to offer anything more then unsubstantiated opinion.

edit: seems like that "software developer" was still hanging on that 9.2TF number from GitHub as well, pretty pathetic.

Here's the FUD free version of that image

Presuming there's any value in the exercise, I drafted one that's actually to scale. The area of the squares below represents the published specifications as reflected in text on each box, with all the usual caveats about how these aren't guaranteed to reflect real-world performance. Since the silly exercise got started, though, it might as well be carried through. Series X in green as the normalized reference, and PS5 in blue to demonstrate visually how large / small these differences really are:

edJ4khl.png


Of course a corresponding chart could be drawn up in which the PS5 figures are the normalized reference, but I didn't want to feed the perception that box size represents some form of balance. After all, there's no meaningful attempt to visually scale GPU vs. CPU vs. SSD, this is just about CPU vs. CPU, GPU vs. GPU, and SSD vs. SSD.

No, the Chiron has more power for acceleration and top speed (XSX GPU, CPU) but the McLaren P1 GTR is lighter and more aerodynamic which allows it to have faster speed around corners (PS5 SSD). But the difference in power is negligible between the two, and both are extremely fast.

I know it's an odd comparison and probably a bad one, but that's how I imagine it in my head.

100% accurate OT7-12 was a wild ride



In the quote he provided, the developer states that they don't know and that they were going off the github leak.

He said they don't know what the sustained are and going off the leak they're far lower On top of that the rest of the quote is accurate from what I've read too from actual engineers.

I want to see what this cooling solution Sony has is and I want to know how they plan on cooling that SSD too or it will throttle like NVMe SSDs do one PC
