Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we get it after the reveals? 6 months before release?
We get the breakdown sure, but i'm sure how the new consoles perform and the ins and outs from developers starts to be much clearer after launch.
edit: Although it's not going to be so much about the GPU/CPU and more about the SSD/memory I think. Definitely not like the PS3 launch, where everyone assumed the Cell was going to be a significant power advantage over 360.

Not that this means much, but some twitter insiders seem to be teasing that tomorrow there's a big announcement imminent. Speculation says it's an announcement of the PS5 unveiling.

Team February rise up.

Anyone reputable or just the typical Tidux types?

Is that based on something else than "because you know, the 2013's PS Meeting was announced on January 31th and tomorrow is January 31st so..." ?

I use the term "insider" loosely. The only one who's close to knowing stuff imo is Liam Robertson.

Okay interesting, a couple of things:

1. Why is there more whitespace on Twitter than a 1996 geocities site? Always reminded why I never go on there, the design is awful.
2. More importantly, it seems like Liam is more into Nintendo products, is that a correct assumption?

I don't know that guy, but there is little doubt a Nintendo Direct will be announced very soon. Most Nintendo insiders began to tease today. But it usually happen on tuesday/thursday.

That would suck so much. I kinda want to know more about both systems and what there visions are.

No....I'm 2 countries away (to the right).
No idea where that is, mystery companion, but we shall venture further into PS5 Feb than any before us have done.

edit: my apologies, my derp is strong tonight, I see the Netherlands.

And this tweet just seems to be about everything else than PlayStation...

And juste 1 tweet from 1 guy ?

EA on next gen consoles:

"The power of the new consoles is gonna be substantially greater than existing consoles," said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during the call. "We can do a lot more [with PS5 and Xbox Series X]. Things we're doing will blow people's minds."

Jorgensen also said there's going to be so much "innovation" not just from EA but from the whole industry. Not only with more sophisticated games but even the creation of new genres.

You've got to wonder how many people at Sony are reading this crazy thread and laughing, posting screenshots in Slack making fun of this. I know I would.

I expect the PSMeeting to be late Feb, as I think Sony would have wanted it slightly after the original release of TLOU2 on Feb 21.
I would therefore expect it to be announced in the next week or so.

Hahahaha your derp is strong! To be precise, The hague.

And yes we will venture further into the abyss.......Looking for that PS5 Feb reveal......searching for those HBM, Reram, and 14tf clues.... Perhaps we will find that 8TF monster.......
Oh you'll get a presentation for each device, and then they'll release specs via a press release. Like this: https://www.sie.com/en/corporate/release/2013/130221a.html
Ahh ok but i also want to know developers vision and how they will take advantage off it. Like last time.

Lucky for you guys I already did the math in a previous OT.

2x GameCube = 1 Wii
2x Wii = 1 Wii U
2x Wii U = 1 PS4
2x PS4 = 1 PS4 Pro
3x PS4 Pro = 1 Series X

1 Series X = 48 GameCubes

It's math.
it's bad math.

gamecube was 9.4 gflops.
xbox series x is 12,000 gflops.
12,000/9.4 = 1,276 Gamecubes


Wii = 12 GLOPS / 9.4 = 1.28 Gamecube
Wii U = 352 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 37.44 gamecubes

Xbox 360 = 240 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 25.53 gamecubes
Xbox One = 1,310 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 139.37 Gamecubes
xbox one x = 6,000 gflops / 9.4 = 638.29 gamecubes

PS3 = 230 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 24.46 Gamecubes
PS4 = 1,840 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 191.49 Gamecubes
PS4 Pro = 4,200 GFLOPS / 9.4 = 446.81 Gamecubes

I agree. I think the whole idea that there even will be a playstation meeting (specially in february) is just mostly based on 2013. I hope that there will be one (and I understand that us gaming forum guys in general would enjoy watching it) but it also wouldnt surpise me if announcing State of Play with PS5 info can meet the same goals for Sony.

I would really like it if they just randomly uploaded a slick video teaser, just like 2013, but chances of this are very low.

PC GPUs get taped-out a long time before release, for instance the Pascal 1000 series was tapped-out 11 months before the first Pascal GPU was released.
There's a difference between choosing an optimal launch frame and launching as fast as possible after a tape out. PC GPUs can usually launch in six months after tape out, NV's GPUs can usually do this even faster as they haven't done a single respin for several years now.

Consoles need even more time than that, they go into mass production in ~4 months if they intend to launch in November.
They don't. The process here is fairly similar to a PC GPU launch since it's also not just a chip but a system board, memory and stuff.

@Albert Penello had already said that both consoles won't get any changes done to their silicon a year from launch.
Don't get me wrong but I'm inclined to disagree with almost everything he said. The devil is in the details and the meaning of words can be totally different despite them being the same.
Big changes to an existing silicon won't happen a year prior to launch. A completely different silicon which was designed in parallel can happen a year prior to launch easily.

It's probable that during 2019 all that was done on both APUs was tests, bug fixes, tweaks, etc. If at some point MS or Sony had upgraded their APU massively (and going from 36CU to 50+ is a massive change), it had probably happened before 2019.
It's possible that it happened before, I'm just saying that it couldn't have happened after.
