Yeah, but I meant if there's another chip besides this one that keeps getting dissected, but it's possible we might never know if it's an AMD project or something.
Oh yeh, I hear ya. We might never know the truth behind that. Maybe someone will write a book about it in a few years...haha. Maybe it was a fake leak orchestrated by Sony to throw MS off.

I've been reading the arguments here so many times that I'm going to need closure. Hopefully it's really obvious and as you say DF or someone gives us the answer.

Ahhh yes, but what's confusing is that some say the first XSX dev kits weren't out yet at that time.
Some kits were out 100% sure on that. Most likely still PC equivalents though, but they did have Prospero/Dante last year at GDC.

PC equivalent dev kits were available in late 2018... when we first heard about supposed complaints about Lockhart.

I see. Think the modern one is also for the use for PC, possibly xbox? It looks cool.
The "classic" isn't really classic. The original VCS-Joysticks didn't had a select- and reset-button on the controller, both where at the system itself. Mean you need to stand up every time after you had a game over.😁
So not that full retro feeling, but put these buttons on the joystick makes sense. :D

I know we're veering way off-topic now, but it also has a trigger on the back and the stick can be twisted for paddle functionailty. So it does bring some retro inputs back in an unconventional way. Hopefully some devs find a clever and pleasant way to utilize it. Also yes, the modern controller is recognized as a 360 controller on PC IIRC, not sure how it's gonna' work with XB1/XSX.

It's definitely been a tough case to crack. Wish I could fast forward to the end of this mystery 😀. I really don't care that much for what the outcome of the truth is. It's just that, these two contradicting pieces of evidence really irk me.

... but for some it would be the hassle of a gift that is incomplete without an accessory, and for most it would mean the console would be $30 more expensive because you need to buy one of the high margin controllers. Unless you're looking to sell two different SKUs which is a forecasting and warehousing nightmare. You're talking about changing something fundamental only to suit some fraction of the market they want to attract.

I know the concept is ludicrous and will never happen but what about a discount voucher for a controller included with each console? You don't want a controller? Fine, throw it away. You do want a controller? Here's a heavily discounted first one or... what about a heavy discount for one controller bought with a console? All sku's could then be controller-less.

There are ways to do it but the effort doesn't seem to be worth the pay off.

Considering how much the XSX could cost, I think it would be a smart move to offer the option of a console 50 bucks cheaper with no controller.

We have known its a reach since matt said it was not confirmation of anything and he was glad we moved on from it, the last even more hilarious now
I thought that matt didn't refute the Github leak, but instead said something to the effect of "It doesn't tell the whole story". Suggesting that it's not inaccurate but that there's some other hardware that will contribute to performance that's not detailed/tested in that data.

What he said was "I'm glad to see we've moved pass thinking the Github leak was confirmation of anything."

Worth repeating that 5700XT varies from slightly behind to moderately behind the 2080 in benchmarks, so this is self-consistent with the TF numbers that have been floated about.

And if we "do the math" the 5700XT comes to the infamous 12TF (CGN). Furthermore, it's consistent with Digital Foundry's testing of "2x the power of the One X" being achieved by it.

A 5700XT is well binned 40/40 CU running at 1800 MHz, ~9.75 TF

Guthub showed a 36/40 CU GPU running at 2.0 GHz, 9.2 TF.

I think the 5700XT is closer to a 2070 S than a 2080 but I guess this comes down to how close is "on par". In either case, it's not higher than the GCN 10.7 TF number as Jason explicitly stated.

So Reiner's tweet, clarified, was that PS5 dev kits were more powerful than Scarlett's target specs?

Yes, here is topic regarding the tweets but it's missing some of his later tweets regarding target specs until he just said forget because fanboys hounded him.

Andrew Reiner from GI (Rumor): PS5 target specs higher than Scarlett

We have had a bunch of tweets from Andrew Reiner on this that I felt warranted their own thread, away from the plethora of pastebin leaks. There's a couple more tweets where he suggests that he has heard more but won't be sharing due to it being "spun into an apocalypse." I assume it's...

Off topic, but right now you can pre-order Doom Eternal and Resident Evil 3 for XBOX and PS4 on Amazon for $49.95, 10 bucks off regular price.
