Really? Oh shit, I've said that like 3 times today 😂 Maybe it was how you said it? I kind of feel like it should be common knowledge too.

It's like a Kickstarter, the TF rating of PS5 will be decided by how many tens of millions of units they have sold of PS4.
Currently we are on 10.4TF. They can increase the CU count once ps4 sells some more.
Agreed. The more people think 9.2, the better it gets for Sony when it reveals the PS5.
That is if its truly above 9.2.
The amount of people that know about the 9.2 is a tiny fraction of the whole base, so I doubt Sony is thinking that way.
I think I got the theory. So what you're saying that an SE consists of 18 CUs then? What's an SE? So you can only turn off an entire SE and not not parts of it - is that what we're saying?
Haha, you're right. Man, it must be funny to know what's going on, looking at all speculation and people going crazy on Twitter etc. And also a bit frustrating not being able to talk about it. 😂
This is exactly true. We are getting a true generational leap this time, and it is very exciting!
People might not know the number, but they've heard the rumors the PS5 is going to be weaker than the Series X. I've had it mentioned to me a few times by some friends that really don't dig into gaming news, but see headlines.
Yeah, the majority don't know what the hell we're talking about. That leaves enthusiast who probably fall into 2 camps: People who are anticipating PS5 and don't believe 9.2 and People who aren't looking forward to PS5 who are looking for 9.2 for obvious reasons. Then there's the very tiny camp that is looking forward to PS5 but also believe it's 9.2 and that tiny camp will be the only ones who benefit from thinking it's low and it coming in high.
But that new GPU will probable cost about the same as purchasing a Series X and PS5 combined....
That's the evil Sony intention 😈
Now lets not insult the man any further then this thread already hasDo you think Cerny has read these threads?
And i already responded to him that i misread it and even forgot that i responded to him. Didn't even know what i said to him but okay... It's in the same quote that i responded to you about... So you not only telling me that i am defensive, and actually calling me a fanboy, and that i am purposely trying to misread the situation. To me is very weird and looks you are are upset about something.. You calling me names and misrepesnting my intentions is annoying and now you want to play innocence itself? come on!
I am done with this conversation because it's very boring. I have no idea why you, from the beginning, have been a bit passive agrassive to me.. But whatever
Do you think Cerny has read these threads?
Kid Chameleon was a great game!
Yeah it's mad. Shoduk have been phase , or stage or wave as you say
No this is confirmed but there is no number for the improvement.
I thought about this in the last OT but my version is:
Video presentation.
An empty stage. Just a mikestand and a mike. (2001-movie sound starting.)
A banner rolls down, it covers the entire backdrop. It is the new PS5 logo. (2001 music climaxes)
Guy walks on stage.
He is well dressed.
Suit almost same nuance as PS5 logo, not exactly same, but close.
He grabs the mike, looks into the camera and says:
-13TF
Mike drop. Makes a "thump"-sound.
Guy walks off stage.
New banner rolls over PS5-logo-banner.
It says "for the players".
Fin.
No, I was bringing it to your attention that you were reading the quote wrong unless you were trying to purposely misread the situation. At which point I told you to have a blast. But yes, let's be done.
* Someone shouts from the back.
"Is that RDNA ver 1.5 Flops or...."
Good point, but next gen consoles will be competing with Ampere, not Turing so we're yet to see what RTX 3080 will look like but I'll wager something close to 2080Ti or relatively equal.
My suggestion is Sony give those guys a coupon for the Lockheart.
For MS, I think a 9.2 TF machine at $400 is much scarier competition than a 12-13 TF Sony console at $500 (which is where I presume the XSX will be).
When you are quartering the resolution, you shrink the size of your assets - So you no longer need as much ram or cpu either.
Yeah I'm an xbox guy, but I'm seriously considering going Lockhart + PS5. Gamepass would cover me for Xbox Exclusives, and I'd still get to play all of Sony's too.
The difference is the Switch is feeding the exact same assets and elements to the GPU regardless of mode. The Lockhart will have a substantially smaller load in this regard that's what allows the lesser CPU.
Yeah, MS is terrified by the exact thing they centered their two SKU approach on.
You know the 780ti was the top of the line card during the PS4 launch
I agree which is why Lockhart exists. I have basically theorized that the reason Xbox has 2 SKUs is to guarantee two things 1. They'll have the clear best console in terms of specs 2. They'll have the cheapest console on the market.
I don't think 2 SKUs makes sense in any other way and all of the leaks we have gotten seems to seem this case to be likely.
"is it just a NVME ssd? i already have one in my pc and-"
EDIT: some more
"so just off the shelf PC parts right?"
"12tf? are you sure? Github said..."
"how do we know you're not lying, Mark? because MS tweeted 12tf which means they know they're more powerful, and..."

I would assume that 2GHZ is looking mighty fine right now. Able to push a bit higher without necessarily needing a wind tunnel ala Series X.
I wish AMD was competitive enough. 7nm and arch changes is just enough to let nvidia go buck wild
Hah I was going to say Sony has basically pulled the exact same bit before. Back when they had a finger on the pulse of gaming culture.
Well, negative 13TF would certainly be something.
These threads move too fast for me to ever catch up, but all this talk of 9.2TF is confusing. Wasnt there a verified Era insider who stated both new consoles are double digit TF? And are really close? Or have i missed a significant leak?
can you provide the full quote or just the part you misquote multiple times in this thread?
Yea and MS went with a wind tunnel to get to 12tf along with managing the heat out of the CPU/SSD. It'll be interesting to see what Sony's take is based on what we know about RDNA 2 and the Series X's power and design.
if the aim Is to require the minimum developer effort then ideally only things like textures need to change. Model detail and world density could be the same as xsx which would require same cpu and SSD speed
