PS5 Die Shot has been revealed

There's no point. We're all going to DIE anyway.
From Die shots?

So basically what this seems to boil down to is what i got banned in the speculation thread for saying... PS5 is more based off of RDNA1 architecture and was ready for release probably at least a year before XSX... PS5 tools had MUCH more time to mature. XSX was waiting for more RDNA2 features to implement so tools are way behind. Hence why we are seeing PS5 keeping up at the moment. Once XSX hits its full stride and the tools have a chance to mature more it very well may had an advantage period moving forward. *tooools
Isn't RDNA 2 based off RNDA 1?
Which is why it's called RDNA 2
Only difference, is it has Ray Tracing and Infinity Cache.
No wonder you got banned.

And if that's the case, why doesn't XBSX has Infinity Cache?
Which is a RDNA 2 feature.

I think Cerny is right when he said the PS5 is based on RDNA 2.
You only need to keep what would benefit your console.

side note here - Locuza is one of the good guys. If he delivered ammo for either of the Fanboys it was 100% unintentional - if anything he gave the Sony camp some ammo by soing his latest "Xbox X = RDNA2 ? Video..
because he discovered that not every aspüect of their chip is full rdna2.
I just realized this is a new video. I remember the one he did for PS5.

This one is interesting....

Agree, he's one of those highly informed posters that I sit back and try to take in what they're saying.
 
Terms like RDNA 3 features, is putting the cart before the horse, maybe he should've said this PS5 feature is likely to appear in RDNA 3, maybe that could've been more palatable to you (I doubt it)

But click bait videos aside, and you obviously haven't watched any of them, he indicated every one of the things you mentioned was a rumour and to be taken with a pinch of salt.

What I imagine happened is he reached out to ask his sources why PS5 was outperforming the Series X and got a few guesses in return. Hardly worth burning him at the stake for really. But whatever fits the narrative you've built for yourself.
You mean whatever fits your narrative, if you want to try and defend someone who spreads rumours, and then shouts it on twitter like he believes it, then that's on you.

Haha oh geez chill out

So going by this the PS5 has its own version of VRS via the GE. As the PS5 is supposedly the older RB.

I'd be very surprised if there isn't VRS in the PS5, especially when you have to consider VR.

Funny thing is, I got banned on that thread... for arguing with those morons.
I think the mods were on the side of their bullshit and got bothered but all the technical information that I was posting there that they couldn't argue against, they decided to eject me from there instead of trying to prove me wrong.
By the way, MODS! Why I'm still blocked from the speculation thread? Time isn't proving who was right in that discussion?

No, you are wrong. PS5 is based on RDNA2, that's not under debate. What we are trying to understand is what makes a PS5 perform like an XSX.
 
I need ducks in a bathtub or something to understand what all this means...

Looking at it from afar without knowledge makes me think both consoles just got downgraded... No magic, no full RDNA2, mobile tech, etc. No wonder Control was running at so low settings.

i guess he will make another PS5 Video now that we have the silicon photo..
 
Can't it simply be because of the extra 0.4GHz?

That doesn't make up for all the other deficiencies though. I'm not saying it doesn't help but just that alone wouldn't make it on par with the other system. At least they what digital foundry said with their variable clocks video.

Upon checking on your behalf, you were actually ejected for derailing and low effort antagonism multiple times including a deleted post. Basically, shitting up the thread and preventing actual discussion.

Same as you didn't buy the hardware RT from Cerny? Then you whined later why you got attacked. Poor guy!
Yep, I didn't buy it one bit, and now it's clearly been put to rest. I said from the get go I needed to see actually released games to believe it, and I've gotten that in convincing fashion. At least in my case once I see evidence disputing a belief I have, I accept it and move on. Do you all still believe PS5's CPU has a unified L3 cache and that the PS5 has infinity cache? There was never any basis for any of that, but here we are.
 
You can really tell something is up when the hardcore Sony posters attack and insult each other. How dare some of you question this. You are supposed to be one unified front against the super secret xbox discord. Lil' BoPeep is probably really disappointed and you're getting cut from the next round of gold.

Some of you guys acting like suddenly everybody is a chip architect on GAF.
 
No, you are wrong. PS5 is based on RDNA2, that's not under debate. What we are trying to understand is what makes a PS5 perform like an XSX.
no one is expecting that ps5 perfom like the xsx and ppl not debating this.
And I'm saving this post in case xsx (like eveyone is expecting) when engine will change and utilize rdna2 feature you will say " but but but we know this "

This has a very slight almost invisible side effect of making every single component of PS5's GPU around 20% faster/stronger than XSX's counterpart, this can't possibly have an effect on performance, how dare you?

Why everyone is suddenly so eager to accept that PS5's CPU doesn't have native AVX-256 despite Cerny's clear statement about it? Am i missing something? It was just an early wild guess from Locuza, they think now that Sony just removed the FADD block deemed to be redundant.
Did you see how excited longdi got when he thought he had something to beat down the PS5 with??? He was in a such a rush to gloat he completely forgot to read the context of the thread. Then the rest of the warriors arrived. The worst ones are the ones that pretend they are neutral or think they are smart thinking they are fooling anyone.

It's calling losing patience.
Having to repeat things usually does that.

Yes, I tried to prevent discussion... about lies. Or are you saying that people are still allowed to repeat those lies there? Like "PS5 actually uses RDNA1", "only 9TF", "the CPU downclocks to 1.2GHz"?
That's what I wasn't allowing people to "discuss" there.

To be clear i am not accusing anyone of anything, this is a speculation thread essentially, of course that people will speculate as they wish both ways as long as it's in a respectful and nonantagonistic manner. I was just a little perplexed about the speed of eagerness based on someone's first impression about the matter, that's all.

There is a difference. Hardware RT was confirmed by system architect directly during presentation.
You called it crap for no good reason.
Unified L3 cache was just a rumor and speculation. There is a reason to call it crap since 1st rumor appeared. And that's OK

The unified cache stuff was always odd considering Sony's own diagram showing cache scrubbers showed a cache only attached to the GPU, not the CPU.

The Cerny talk was pretty damn detailed.. why everyone thinks they had major features not shown is beyond me lol

This thread is interesting, but so many opposing ideas. I just want to thank all the very knowledgeable computer engineers, who have taken time off from their 6-digits FAANG job to explain this situation. 🙌

I've said from the beginning, and I continue to believe, it isn't the PS5 performing like Xbox Series X because I really don't believe they are in the exact same league from a performance standpoint. When things appear off (such as Series X having more trouble maintaining FPS at the same resolution and visual settings, or possibly worse and actually runs at a lower res) it's because Series X is just flat out underperforming its expected output, and that's before any more advanced capabilities are factored in.

Microsoft took longer to finalize their hardware design, plus they have a more unique memory setup compared to the PS5 which requires some special considerations when organizing data copies/accesses. Anything GPU critical must be inside the 10GB of GPU Optimal memory or else performance will be effected. Some devs will handle this better than others, but if they start to more directly take advantage of the available featureset of the Series X GPU, such as Sampler Feedback Streaming, I believe we will start to see a very different more consistent performance picture emerge.

Keep in mind I'm not calling the PS5 weak, it isn't weak, I just confidently believe Series X is in a performance tier above PS5.

Yep, but that's all old news now. I've long since accepted PS5 has capable RT hardware, and my twitter proves that. I was reading between the lines of how wishy, washy they appeared on RT compared to Xbox on RT and, I admit, I read far more into it than there truly was. I was way wrong. I don't have a problem admitting any of that.

If I'm to take a few licks here and there for disputing publicly confirmed information direct from the source, then others should have their fair share for believing entirely made up, speculative and outright false information that has never come directly from the source. I'm not willing to automatically dismiss that the PS5 may possess some tweaks or elements of a future RDNA architecture revision, I just challenge the so called youtube insiders that confidently state the PS5 has this or that, and everybody up and believes them. I also firmly believe there are things we aren't fully aware of regarding Series X, but my belief on that front continues to be that Microsoft has been an open book, and if there were another megaton feature hidden inside, we would potentially know about it already. I apply that same rule to Sony and PS5.
