Sad if true, but if that's what it takes for the thing to be whisper quiet, I'll take it.

hopefully not much bigger than the series x.

Come on, this is clearly bullshit.

Does anyone genuinely believe that the PS5 is going to be that size?!

EDIT:

There's no way on God's green earth it's going to be anywhere near that size.

That's not a million miles away from the size of the Series X though if you laid it on it's side. Both companies seem to have taken cooling extremely seriously next gen and size is the unfortunate price you have to pay for that.

XSX's shape is novelty but it's going to be hard to fit anywhere.

I hope PS5 has a more "standard" shape.
Not true at all, did you watch the DF breakdown? Missed all the info graphics? It chiefly serves a function for all the power and heat it's generating. XSX is whisper quiet thanks to its shape.

I don't think it's a legit news tbh.

They are telling us that it's fatter than a console that had an overclocked GPU based on a older-architecture ?

I don't believe it, it's the same component compared to the XSX, which is a small tower shaped console, with a vapor cooling solution, If Sony is not using a vapor cooling solution it will be fatter than a XSX for sure, but not fatter than a PS4 pro, I don't believe it one second.

We will certainly not see the console next thrusday but maybe in july/august, but I'm not going to believe that rumour :) .

It is not the same component. XSX GPU should be around 50% larger, but running much slower and cooler per core. I'm not sure which will draw more power overall though.

How does RDNA2 ray tracing work?

Basically the same way NVIDIA does it with RTX. Casting rays from the camera and using something called a BVH (Bounding Volume Hierarchy) as a way to group objects that ray tracing can affect to lower performance costs. Think of hitboxes in fighting games or I suppose regular collision detection. Instead of simulating the rays intersecting with every single polygon, they intersect with predetermined BVH boxes.

Sony has some different terms for the BVH and other structures within. You can hear Cerny talk about it here, at 30:00

Honestly I am hoping for a "normal" looking console.
I don't hate the XSX but it looks like a smokestack or some speaker lol. Really unique for sure.
A square sounds good to me!

I think the system will be big, but not 2x PS4 Pro big. Maybe slightly bigger than OG XB1 or OG PS3.

Sounds good to me if true.

Bigger console = better air flow = no jet engine noises.

My Pro is LOUD.

Well, I have a big ass PC tower close to my TV so it wouldn't really matter. I personally think it's gonna be quite uglier (this is subjective though) than the Xbox Series X due to them prioritizing cooling, which they should after the Jet Engine Pro 4.

Kind of what I was hoping for, my TV stand wouldn't even be able to support the XSX. It's like a mini PC tower. Where would I put it? The floor?

A PS4 Pro that's taller/thicker is my ideal choice.

This is a stupid rumor. We've seen devkit pictures. No retail sku is the same size or larger compared to their devkits

Almost twice as big? Isn't that like 10 liters? Compared to the 6.X liters of the Series X

That would literally be the size of an AV receiver. I have a hard time believe that. I also don't know why this person would have access to that information.

You guys don't get it. Sony made TEMPEST so everyone will use headphones and won't notice how loud the console is.
