An interview with David Springate, Dirt 5's Technical Director(and If I am not mistaken, a member of this forum!), he talks about A LOT of stuff, sharing his insights on how X|S development field is as for this launch and how the consoles are going to evolve.
GDK stuff
Person: ''Are there features or things in GDK that are not currently there''
David(Codemasters/Dirt 5 Technical Director): ''Yes but I can't tell you about''
Person: ''I am hearing that GDK is basacilly in its infancy and there is a lot of stuff in on the table''
David: ''It's in its infancy, because it's new, but it's not particurly lacking...''
Person: ''Like barebones''
David: ''It's not barebones, they brought a lot, no, most of the tools over from of SDK in terms of familitary and how it works, in fact stability and speed improved a lot on GDK, but yeah, I am happy with it, if anything there is very little small things I would like, I have weekly meetings with XBOX and my account manager get a lot of feedback from me, I am actually very happy with it''.
For me the big thing in game dev is not are my tools really amazing, of course this is really important, but how is my relationship with the teams who deal with, how they are able to take feedback and how they are able to help me out, all these things help me things make a great videogame''

PS5 and XSX as the gen goes on stuff
Person 2, reads a fanboyish comment on livestream: ''GDK is just an excuse because PS5 is putting out the same performance on multiplats'', stops reading, ''It's not that straightforward, you have seen 2 games''
Person 1: ''Optimization in a pandemic as well, either way, both consoles are going to be awesome.
David: ''I think so''
Person 2: ''I am expecting the XSX going further than the PS5 as the gen goes on, we can talk about that, just the raw specs, that's a big divide'', he says a couple things I don't understand, ''That's a significant power divide no?''
David: It really does depend tho, let's go back at that scenario where 2 teams at AMD get split of, there is a conversation happening between the team and the costumer, Sony or MS, and Sony says, Look we want this thermal throttling thing, how far is going to push the hardware, because now you have so many hardware threads on CPU you can churn through code very fast, that leave me with a lot of headroom to overclock the GPU and how much further is gonna go, and optimizations for that might be different because of the layouts of CU on XSX in contrast, so I am just not sure
