What about the use of what looks like copper, what's the significance of that?
Looks like a copper IHS. It's the most economical of the good heat conductors (gold and silver are obviously cost prohibitive). I'm surprised it's not aluminum though. Aluminum is very nearly the same thermal conductivity with a fraction of the cost.
i may also have done it wrong
can someone confirm the measurement?
I suspect digital foundry are going into overdrive as we speak trying to calculate size etc, out of interest has anyone tried scanning the qr code?Scorpio Engine:
Scarlett Engine:
Looks taller :o
Calling things change a copout is kind of a copout in itself.
Check out Mecha Meister's post on Klee. Things aren't as simple as you put it.
Jason and Matt aren't going in hiding after spec reveals either.
They were already there and all the gaming community was watching...
You know, being The Game Awards and all
Well hopefully better direct contact with what ever cooling absorption unit they have. Copper is just better conduction. So it would help stabilize the heat generated more evenly, especially if it's 200+watt as suggested.
Surely specs would have to be finalized by now for both the PS5 and XBX if they want to enter mass production and get these things on the market this year?
Nah. Someone in here said ~380mm²
But if the overlay picture is correct, it's ~430mm²
380mm² seems a little low. That's just 1.5mm taller than the Xbox One X SOC (or 4mm higher and 2 mm shorter)
They quickly addressed the RT talk. So, yeah, it isn't impossible that they choose to put out accurate information.
They probably should start saying something. Phil seems to be having good time catching attention.
I counted the pixels high of Scorpio which was 126 and a length of 185
Scarlett is 161 high and length of 218
15.45x23.175 = 358mm2 roughly (i just did some quick maths to get 359mm2 at 1:1.5 ratio and settled at 358 just because i couldn't be arsed to fine tune it)
dividing scorpio 15.45 by 126 and multiplying by 161 gets me 19.74
dividing scorpio 23.175 by 185 and multiplying by 218 gets me 27.31
19.74 x 27.31 = 539
did i do something wrong in there?
Sony might feel like PS5 reveal hype might damage the still selling well PS4 so that might postpone any reveal.
MS mostly wants to move on already.
I won't say that was quickly.
First interview April and second one Oct.
That is 6 months lol.
I think it's better for them to go into the reveal with the current narrative "Underpromise and overdeliver..." and all that.
Also, may not even get a number on the reveal (3 times the performance of the PSPro is what I expect), much less before it I reckon.
The second Wired interview in which Cerny directly addressed RT was six months after the first Wired interview. I'm not sure I'd call that fast.
Damn that thing is huge. 400-425mm2? crazy.
the arden rumor from the chinese leaker suggested a 350mm2 gpu. add 40-50mm2 for a cut down zen 2 and some i/o stuff and you are looking at a monster.
i think 12 tflops is a bit of an underestimate. this monster could be even higher than that.

The Wired article with Cerny's RT statement was in August (and I think it was only after the "PlayStation 5" name was official) as part of a second info dump when they started sending DS5 prototypes out. The original article was in April.
— though the article author himself did tweet after it that visuals were discussed as part of his RT discussion with Cerny.
I think they are pretty happy to just stick to whatever their plans are and reveal things on their own terms.
What if Cerny made 6TF shitbox and defrauded rest of PS5 money to fund his dream Knack Theme Park?
I think they're referencing the instance where the person that interviewed Mark came out on twitter and noted that they did indeed ask him to clarify about RT for audio vs RT for graphics and that Mark clarified it was graphics too, and that for some reason that bit didn't make it in the initial article.
That post wasn't long after the interview released.
I understand. I don't believe Klee is lying (Apologies if it came out that way!), but it makes me think even he's not fully confident about the info he has obtained. Of course I don't believe he's making claims for the fame or anything, but doing the "I know stuff, but won't reveal anything until Sony and Ms reveal everything" just doesn't sit well with me.
I really admire Klee's efforts on protecting his sources. But a simple "yes" or "no" regarding the TF numbers of both consoles would be more than enough and the source would still be safe.
Anyways, just venting. In the end we're all on the same train.
And Klee, I apologize for the cynicism. I'm sure you understand. ;)
Next-Gen RDNA details and RDNA2 details imo. Probably a couple bullet points of what will be in the next-gen machines. I don't expect any deep dive on what each machine does specifically though. It'll be something that pulls the lid off a bit. a Sneak Peak of what we will speculate on next! We already know VRS Tier 2 is in the Series X.
Whats the latest rumor for the PS5 GPU size?
Also, I haven't been keeping up. Whats the percentage we are likely to get some XSX and PS5 info today at CES?
I tried with an app and with the built in iOS camera and couldn't get it to scan, I'll leave it to digital foundry
I calculated the chip to be 360-380 based on the teaser. This looks definitely to be in the higher end of that range.
56Cus with RT HW, Zen 2 and 320bit bus needs die space and ~370mm2 seems around the minimum size for it.
