IDK, with the rumored Navi pricing I could see a 10TF console. A lot of that would be eaten up in the push for 4K and the jump seems less impressive since we've had the mid-gen refreshes.
That CPU jump is going to be insane though. Couple that with the custom storage set-up for lightning quick load-times and a nice jump in RAM and next gen should be mighty impressive.
GCN over time has been a curse on AMD. While the 7000 and 200 series beat out Nvidia in price to performance, Nvidias marketing was simply too much. After that, power efficiency dramatically increased for Nvidia while GCN was horribly inefficient by comparison.
I'd be curious to see why people think we'll be getting a 10+ TF GPU. The GPU that AMD claims to be 10% better than the 8 TF 2070 is rumored to be $500. If that the case I just don't see how next gen consoles could have over 10 TF unless they launch a premium model right out the gate for $600. More realistically we should get 8-10 TF.
They were right in the money with performance and the dates, so there's a good chance the price is real too. The original article about it got taken down but there's secondhand articles reporting in the information. It's also not a tumor or a leak with anonymous sources. It's information leaked by a spokesperson for a company that makes the GPU.
They have been saying that for the last 2 generations and I am still waiting for this 'end of traditional gaming'. Grant it, traditional gaming has changed, but what the media is referring to is something completely different. They want us to go into the aspects of Mobile Gaming; I honestly do not want that. I am happy with how things are now. I know it will change but my hope is that we keep some aspects of traditional gaming like buying the software in digital or physical.
OT...this was a good read and I can't wait to hear more in the next few weeks. I wonder how custom the PS5 architecture is thouugh and I wonder what customization MS has done to the next Xbox.
I think VR has a bigger chance of ending traditional gaming (long term) than mobile devices. Gotta have BIG screens :-) Regarding MS and customization, I'm just guessing, but I still feel they may stagger a year after PS with their powerhouse console, so they might not have focused on the AMD customizations yet. That way they can guarantee power superiority and continue the "most powerful console" marketing even a year before it's released. I think the X coming out a year later than the pro + the focus on X cloud this year and next is kinda playing into that...
I'm not concerned with what others have said in the past. I have not made that statement in the past, but I think it is fair to say now. There is increasing cost and a very clear and aggressive push for streaming and online services now that is difficult to ignore.
I have not felt that pressure before, but now it really seems like Gen 9 will be the last traditional consoles. If we don't go full streaming yet, expect a lot of games to be strictly digital going forward.
It does sound great. I'm liking the choices they're making. I was planning to get one either way, but the hardware and backwards compatibility are adding up to an exciting console.
maybe not "tested in real world" - but, i imagine whatever sony uses will have gone under a lot of scrutiny before going into ps5 - they're on top but still can't afford a major misstep.
This sounds amazingly good! I also hope they allow us to download update files on games before they release, that would benefit day 1 physical game buyers a lot. And lastly having every graphical option a PC does would be sweet.
PC's are generally always ahead of consoles... So Consoles will pretty much never have all graphical options a PC has. Right at the launch Consoles are usually on par with gaming computers, but that doesn't last for long there are always better graphics cards being released PC gamers can upgrade with that Console gamers cannot.
Disagree's are probably keeping reality in-line with dreams.
PC games are also made for a broad range of setups, some very powerful, some mediocre. Whereas consoles already know what hardware is going to be used so performance is maximised. GoW, tLoU 2, Spiderman were made for a console that's 1.84TF yet they look absolutely stunning
But what does being ahead of consoles have to do with giving console gamers a broader list of settings? How does a PC stop it from being offered on a game console? They already got the ball rolling with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X allowing performance options. Why would deeper settings be a "dream" on PS5?
Going from a ps4 or xbox one launch model to proper 4k HDR with the specs that we know about will seem like a huge jump imo. Edit: if your already 4k gaming then the jump will be small.
The ps5 will have a powerful hardware and I cant wait to buy it on release day
Ooo that's nice. Some rumors were saying that it would use GCN but it's nice to see that it's new tech.
AMD is finally retiring GCN. That is great news in itself. Though RDNA has yet to be tested in real world It is nice to know it's new architecture.

Going to be a much bigger jump than ps3 to ps4. It might even get to close to ps2 to ps3.
