13tf GCN would still of been huge. I only picked 10tf in the poll, and that was when i thought GCN.
The pool here is a bit different.
There you have 42% on 12TFs, 23% on 14TFs and 21% > 14TFs.

So there are more people expecting 14 or more GCN TFs than any other option.

Dosen't mean that next consoles (both) can't reach those kind of details

Thinks for example at TLOU 3 or death stranding 2 on ps5 with ray tracing and 4k (real this time)

Not necessarily, the habit of dropping frame rates during cut scenes etc. (for cinematic effect) is gaining in popularity.
 
Yea 12-13TF definitely seemed to be on the higher end of people's hopes a year ago. I think the highest wish I saw was 14TF, and that was pretty much laughed at by everyone.

Looking at some previous posts I talked about 15 - 18 Tflops but did add a caveat that it was based on GCN perf per flop. 12-13 TFlops in an RDNA Apu is in that ballpark.
 
Never bought into this insider crap, rather stick to facts and concrete information. Are some of them right? Sure, but most information out there is wrong and is always subject to change. I'll listen, but won't put my faith in it.

There is so many different ways things could land. There are even options that square with both the Git leaks and the insiders (XSX is a blend of Vega 56 @7nm with some RDNA features tacked in) and Sony is trying to overclock a 5700 to hell. Or both are working on bigger navi and Sony may be a nudge smaller but is still trying to clock theirs higher).

He is talking about the community he is and there 14+TFs received most votes (about 44%)..

I mean, I'm not saying he's 100% right with his info, ofc it's yet to be seen but, the truth is that so far - other than lockhart, which other insiders also thought its was dead, even the MS guys like Tom Warren and Brad Sams - he's has not been wrong.

In the end the XSX might end up having a slight power advantage, but every insider so far has been saying the same thing: that both consoles are close in specs and performance. So for me the 9 vs 12 TF narrative is dead.
In my opinion, if both consoles are 12 teraflops or higher, he was right. I expect Microsoft to increase clocks to get a higher tf number than PS5.
when did ps5 become 13 tflops?
April last year:

Because he realised how stupidly unrealistic his made up specs are. 2ghz in retail box is already unrealistic expectation but there are people who believe his 2.1ghz stories. :pie_roffles:

And don't make me mention all that stupid talk in riddles. Dude legit having fun trolling you all and getting attention.

I have to agree as much as I want to believe. A 2Ghz GPU in a console? Never going to happen. 1.7 sure or 1.8 maybe if it's tested as stable for the millions of consoles they intend to produce...2 or 2.1Ghz? Sorry, no.

It's common for developers to get over-spec'd dev kits and I'm sure that's what they are basing their assertions on (I also suspect the goal posts move each week with MS / Sony informing them of the current state of the final console so they know what to target). I think that's the only defense I can muster on these 2Ghz rumors from insiders.
 
This is the only thing that puzzles me.

If the PS5 is 13 TFs ...

And the Series X is 12 TFs ...

Why in the flying space fuck did Klee say that we're going to be disappointed with their specs?

Were people waiting to see 40TFs?

Did he say that?

That is odd, 12tf Navi is beyond my wildest expectations, 13+tf is just madness.

People have to remember even a 9tf navi next gen console will have higher power consumption then any console for the last 10yrs.
 
Launch?! this thing will reach that with just timdogs (going full mistamediax or I told you so don't matter) posts after the ps5 reveal in Feb if it happens then
This has to be the sub title
PS5 & XBOX SX SPECULATION THREAD |OT2| Sony just don't give a flop.

Maybe the specs got bumped up after the newer devkits came out. 🤷‍♂️

Look at what they were able to get out of the mobile vega chips in the upcoming 4800 series APUs. Currently, the 8-11 cu mobile vegas run at 1200-1400mhz. The upcoming implementations have them clocked at 1750mhz. Navi12 is supposedly more optimized than navi10, as that was rushed to market, and add to that the possibility of 7nP. 2000mhz sounds nuts but it might not be as nuts as we think.

One thing that rubs me the wrong way is how TF would Sony be able to fit 13Tflops Navi that early last year???

Supposedly Ms were late to shipping out devkits last year because they were waiting for the "Big Navi" gpus to be available to them.

Did Sony use RTX gpus in their first devkits or am I missing somethint here?

IIRC, AMD stated that the revised Vega architecture is about 60% more powerful than the previous version and they achieved that with half the TDP of a 9700K.
 
sie management was in chaos. They lost president (kodera), wws head, and demoted shu. This tells me something was fucked up at sony. Their content lead is now under threat, and maybe their hardware strat was bad too.

MS has more studios with way way more variety, and rumours say they are locking down third parties as well. Sony games release at a snail's pace, and there has been no expansion except for insomniac. Apparently MS is aiming for 1 exclusive per quarter. Sony cannot match that with their AAA story games taking 5 or more years, and their racing games taking 7+ years.

If their management was bad at content strat, it isnt far fetched to think they would be bad at hardware strategy as well. Not technical incompetence mind, but strategic incompetenc.

AA games every quarter, no thanks, I'm happy with how Sony are spreading their games.

BTW after the TGA Benji said he should've kept it because the 13TF he got(as in insider info) was supposedly RDNA and not GCN.

Im so excited for next gen because of MS' strategy. We're going to get so many awesome games in a bunch of different genres. All part of Game Pass..
 
I see, that's why you've bought Xbone at launch. Maybe because hidden GPU in power brick

I own ALL systems, so nice try. My point is I always want the newest systems to be as powerful as humanely possible. I'm not saying I'll buy only what's the most powerful. Please keep up. And i never bought into any stupid hidden GPU nonsense, but nice try at the troll. Are you also a 72 CU dual gpu believer? :)

Interesting that Radeon 7 paired with Zen2 fits the description like a glove. And there was Vega 20 reference in github files.

I think both consoles will be very close in power, but slightly different. Probably 11-13 TF + ray tracing + whatever "secret sauce" is brought to the table. PS5 will probably be better in some regards, Xbox series x in others. I'm calling it now. This bickering, now at the speculation level, will continue all generation.

Once it's revealed that both consoles are largely the same with some minor differences here and there, the bickering will shift to 1st party software and services.

i wish sony was doing that AA + AAA thing too. But I remember shu saying that no one bought Sony's smaller games at the start of this gen when someone asked him about pupeteer. And what followed was fewer, bigger games.

Because of gamepass, MS doesnt have to convince people to spend money on the AA games, so they will have a built-in audience. And the teams they bought are pretty interesting, esp Schaffer's, Obsidian, and Fargo's. I hope good, interesting games are the result.
 
June PS5 Devkit was already Navi.

Edit - Fixed.
Right, thanks.

This doesn't align at all with the Oberon leaks. A 36CU part would need to be running at an eye-watering 2812 MHz to get anywhere near 13 TFlops of compute performance.
That just is not happening.

Exactly...all the TF guesses/knowledge are be based on either a dev kit from april 2019 or the latest dev kits, or the target specs sheet, or even finished unit ala Spencers series X he has at home. Some are Navi TF, some are GCN TF...who the heck knows? None of these numbers mean anything so why the heck are any of you arguing over whos right or wrong when it comes to "insiders"?

I'm hating the idea of a 9tf ps5 but back then, benji saying 13tf before we knew rdna was thing makes me weary.
I though we have passed that phase that these "Oberon" "leaks" means anything.

There is good chances PS5 Devkit was never 9TFs or bellow at all.

There will be that for sure. But don't you think DF analysis and bickering over which is the best for multi platform games will also occur?
 
Klee said the consoles are close in power, but that could be 5% or even 25% ..

.. 20% difference is close in real world terms (11TF vs 9.2TF) - that's like a 1440p vs 1300p image - likely you wouldn't spot obvious difference is blind comparison tests.

In terms of the console warz though +20% or 11TF vs 9TF is massive ..
 
There is a good chance that Klee is just throwing shit against the wall. But he's a god to you.
That is easy to prove but until now he was right like two days before the TGA he said MS will show Xbox Scarlet.

Now you can tell me why you don't believe Klee even after he got right the previous leaks?

Still way smaller than the 50% of last generation. Then you have to consider diminishing returns....

Think about what it takes to develop an APU for a console. Sony and MS have to be absolutely positive that their custom designs fit with existing AMD architecture and it's fit for purpose for 100's millions of consoles. This shit takes years of development and mega budgets to nail. They can't take a risk on 7nm+ when it's not even been proven (by proven I mean in a consumer product) or is in the wild, let alone design something years ago in the hope that it 'may' work or is suitable when it comes to market. Now there's talk about 2Ghz? It would be a monstrous effort to cool it plus we don't know how stable these new AMD laptop APU's are. They could be a dumpster fire for all we know. When your in charge of $billions in R&D for a console, you don't take these sorts of risks frankly. You attempt to get the best bang for buck in technology that is proven.

I'm honestly wanting to be proven wrong, but 2Ghz I just can't believe and actually, I'd be surprised if either of them achieve over 10TFLOP based off of a 5700XT design.
 
Matt said that he would only consider something like 20% to be significant but he always said both consoles are close in power and the difference won't matter at all, example:

They are very close to each other. This isn't like PS4 vs. XBO.

It literally doesn't matter.

Klee also said:

In terms of performance, they are essentially the same

And Matt replied:

"Well, yeah. I'm sure someone will say any difference is huge, but, yeah."
