How long can you talk about SSD speed?!

Depends how smart you are

 

[Shizumapower]

Complainers: Like your PS4? you can thank this boring Mofo.

 

[Bryank75]

So, basically Xbox series X gets a few seconds knocked off load times... PlayStation basically has NO load times.

 

[Armorian]

Holy shit.... load times will be eviscerated.
Xbox will still be last gen compared to that...

You will have to wait 10 seconds compared to 5s on PS5, what a shit show MS...

Nice try, but nah

 

[BlackProdigy]

This is as bad as 2006 lool

 

[Ogbert]

arbitrary metric. It's like saying pc cant hit 4k 60 because star citizen exists.

Sure.

But it was an arbitrary statement.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I'm not certain if this is awesome or awful haha

 

[E-Cat]

HERE IT COMES OMG OMG OMG!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Did he just say there probably won't be compatible expansion drives at launch?

 

[Flintty]

Ded.

 

[YodaBB]

hmmm standard m2 drive support sounds cheaper than proprietary at least

 

[Filippos]

I'm not certain if this is awesome or awful haha

to me: awful.... this will hold back all games. fuck.

 

[Stere]

here it comes, the pain

 

[ElCasual]

Another GREAT IDEA of Jim Ryan. What a f**k Di**head.

 

[Paradicia]

Sony is so out of touch with what gamers want and I don't care if this was meant to be a GDC conference.

 

[Bryank75]

You will have to wait 10 seconds compared to 5s on PS5, what a shit show MS...

More like close to a minute on Xbox... 2 seconds on PS5.

 

[lock2k]

He reminds me of Garth...

We're not worthy.

 

[Entroyp]

RDNA2

 

[rofif]

what are they doing?! Splitting hdd and ssd...

 

[Stuart360]

'But you dont have to use RT if you dont want to', oh boy

 

[Kagero]

RDNA 2! There it is

 

[JimboJones]

I got that impression but maybe I'm wrong

I found an article detailing it, apparantly it will be standard NVMe drives BUT they have to meet strict requirements.

In short, expandable storage is possible and you won't need proprietary drives from Sony to get the extra space you want. However, in the short term at least, the advice is simple: don't buy an NVMe drive without Sony validation if you plan to use it in PlayStation 5. Also remember that extreme bandwidth PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives are likely to be very expensive - in the short term, at least. This is cutting-edge technology, after all. Obviously though, the outlook should improve significantly as the next generation progresses - and prices do tend to drop significantly over time.

So probably expensive Sony approved ones for a while until NVMe drives with these specs become more commonplace?

 

[Shin]

Using a Vaio laptop when Sony sold it off -_-
Still hate that they stopped making laptops.

 

[Caffeine]

so what happens if the internal ssd dies.

 

[Aceofspades]

RDNA2

 

[Xenon]

Buying off the shelf SSD is pretty damn cool.

 

[pesaddict]

Why have they got cardboard cut outs

 

[Agnostic2020]

D darkinstinct you see it says rdna2 ? Will you let it go now ?

 

[Bryank75]

Another GREAT IDEA of Jim Ryan. What a f**k Di**head.

He is an idiot...I dont know how he got to the top!

 

[Filippos]

Holy shit.... load times will be eviscerated.

as long as it doesnt look like nextgen, doesnt matter lol

 

[CRAIG667]

Faster Load times!

WOW!

Yawn....

 

[CJY]

Why have they got cardboard cut outs

They aren't. They're silhouettes of people.

 

[TTOOLL]

Now on to the gpu! Great talk so far. You can clearly see they've had a path since PS4..., they are striking balance here it seems. Bad for TFLOPs, good for price/development.

 

[McHuj]

here's the spin

 

[Birdo]

Damage control.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Hedging that tflop and cu expectations

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

If the PS5 is a traditional, relatively small box like the PS4, does that mean that it's probably gonna be hot and loud again at these specs? Can someone explain?

 

[Bryank75]

as long as it doesnt look like nextgen, doesnt matter lol

Youre right, Xbox dont have the talent to ever do anything beyond gen 7....

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

Sony downplaying cu count and flops lol

 

[Paradicia]

'It's not about the TFlops and CU'

Here come the tears.

 

[Filippos]

what about machine learning support or variable rate shading?

 

[longdi]

hahaha Mark already spinning their tflops and cu losses

what a shite show

 

[Mochilador]

So anything about BC?

 

[48086]

Ahh yes gpu specs don't matter now. Lol ok.

 

[Hideous Snake]

I enjoy Cerny talking tech really its always great talk

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

PS4 BC confirmed!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Hedging that tflop and cu expectations

I mean, Cerny isn't a bullshitter, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Sosokrates]

Im still in a state of shock, i was so convinced ps5 was going to be more powerful, people at the other site need to eat a lot of crow, especially ball the fraudulent "insiders"
