PS5’s Zen 2 CPU Is “A Huge Step Up”, Will Reduce Development Time “Significantly” – Lost Wing Dev

“It gets rid of so many restrictions with how many calculations we can do on the fly,” says BoxFrog Games’ Tim Ash.

Weekly Gamingbolt article with random dev saying this will do that next gen

[blackblades]

And they dont care because they getting there clicks. Thanks guys for commenting and making gamingbolt top news on this site.

[Profchaos]

Almost the same quotes as last gen better hardware makes games more complex

[Kumakai]

thats great but xbox scarlett uses the same cpu in a custom setup just like the ps5 so not sure why we are distinguishing it as a ps5 thing...

and i quote:
"Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox console will be available by the end of 2020, featuring the exact same AMD architectures that are slated for Sony’s PlayStation – which we’ll call the PlayStation 5 for ease. Both will offer the latest 7nm AMD tech, ray tracing, and contain an SSD..."

[Neonridr]

basically it will be a repeat of last gen. Same CPU (slight modifications for each console), Same GPU (slight modifications for each console).

[Shane Kim]

These corporate ceo's are on the phone with eachother as we speak, deciding what to put in their next consoles.

[conanlifts]

That would be interesting as Phil Spencer stated numerous times that Xbox would have the most powerful consoles going forward. Always interesting to see how he could guarantee this. But if Xbox doesn't have a slight edge then his talk was yet more of the same.

[ramiuk1]

doesnt matter waht xbox does hardware wise.
look at this gen for example with the xbox one X ,came out with loads of power but it still has serious lack out games and next gen will be same

[conanlifts]

@ramiuk1 to be honest I am more interested in seeing whether years of talking from ms turns into anything. They are promising games and power, the question is whether either will eventuate. MS have a lot of ground to make up in order to win over the millions of gamers who have deserted them.

[milohighclub]

@conan I'd grab a brew whilst you wait mate, been waiting since last gen. It's always been the same talk with the same results, next gen wont be any different.

[MasterCornholio]

He could always delay the release by a year and guarantee a more powerful system with a hardware upgrade. But Microsoft can't afford to give Sony a year head start.

[leejohnson222]

His talk is always just that, talk

[snoopgg]

You see, the ps5 studios will actually do the most with the new systems. I believe even if the scarlett is more powerful, the ps5 will still have the best looking games. The ps5 will have more exclusives that look better then anything on Scarlett.

[leejohnson222]

Ok babe take it easy we all know Xbox exist, errr boring

[Christopher]

Because the topic was about PS5 and the developer responded to the question asked and not the question unasked?

[MasterCornholio]

Exactly this. I don't know why some people are bothered that he wasn't asked about Xbox.

There's really no need to defend the console since the CPUs are going to be extremely similar in the two systems.

[DaDrunkenJester]

- Says Dev

[Harkins1721]

Always nice to see reduced Dev times.

[YodaCracker]

This is really important because the more graphically advanced games have become, the longer they seem to take to develop. Imagine if Rockstar was able to release more than one game per gen again!

[kneon]

But he's saying it will only be reduced because they will spend less time on optimization. That means the game could have been even better/bigger had they spent the time to make the best use of the power and features available.

[web1017]

Does it guarantee that the Menu screen is going to lag like on PS4? Because, that sure doesnt look nice when you promise a strong CPU and Ram.

[Shikoku]

That's more memory than the CPU

[sizeofyou]

Don't know what all this PS4 menu lag is? Get a very very occasional slow down. But I'd pick that over my X any day. MS menu is far far worse. And don't get me started on the MS store lag which is appalling...

[rainslacker]

I only notice it when the system is doing something in the background like installing a game or update. The sub menus in the info screens when you press down from a game icon can sometimes not load immediately, but that's downloading content from the net.

Otherwise, I've never had a problem with menu lag that I'd call consistent, and even when it does crop up, I wouldn't call it so slow that I would go on forums complaining about it.

[SyntheticForm]

They ought to have a section called "Says Dev" on their site.

I wonder which dev will say a small thing to GB next week?

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

It'd be occupied by one site and one site only - says dev

[rainslacker]

They do have that section.

Its titled gamingbolt.com

[Tross]

But that would be 99% of Gamingbolt’s articles. They’d be better off having a section called “not says dev”, to set aside the few articles they write that aren’t that.

[Ninver]

So square enix have no excuse for delayed games then? Wouldnt hold my breath considering how incompetent they are.

[shiva1]

This can also mean that we dont need to wait for yearly release of COD, BF, assasins creed etc.... They will now be half yearly releases and version releases will increase exponentially by certain devs....

[autobotdan]

We need THREE Call of Duty releases a year. Every four months. Why do they make us wait 12 months for a new Call of Duty? They need to step up development time. 2-3 a year Jk

[Pyroxfaglover]

Starting to think Gamingbolt is just making shit up,as they go along,..Who have less clue about gaming industy and technology, than an avarage gamer. Fake it till you make it amateurs.

[traumadisaster]

Yep, it’s been that way for years.

[SoldierTypeNtGen]

That's really good to hear because this generation was kinda all about delays .

[Lexreborn2]

I love post new console y’all, before it releases:

“This will be the biggest jump ever!”

After it releases:

“Next gen is the place to be amazing graphics”

Two years after:

“We are tapping out on the these devices”

Three years later:

“OMG! These systems are so terrible! You can’t do anything anymore! Why aren’t games always 60 fps!? These devs are Lazy! We need new hardware”

Gaming scene is tragic

[sprinterboy]

Reduced dev time is always welcome

[Miss_Vixen]

I see Gamebolt I don't click.

[Schwarzenegger]

newsflash; better hardware is better

[RangerWalk267]

I know Gamingbolt is known for these kind of articles, but the Zen 2 CPU in the PS5 and Scarlet will definitely be the biggest upgrade next gen. Can't wait to see what developers are able to do. Games like Last of Us, Gears of War, and God of War already look and play incredible. So I can't imagine what they'll be able to do with more horsepower.

[Godmars290]

until development is made more complex and system taxing...

[Artemidorus]

Dev from Trollingbolt doesn't understand that they will demand more money and claim they need the money for more man hours to produce games.

[SugarSoSweet]

I don't believe him. They said the same thing last gen because of the x86 architecture.
