Xbox Y
and the higher spec version the
Xbox Seriously Y


If only specs meant good games instead of the atrocities we have been getting these past 5 years... *sigh*

Hey PC has plenty of good games

Microsoft going interesting route: over 1k $ console/pc hybrid. There are many enthusiasts on gaf that will like it, question is if somebody want to spend over 1k why not go pc + nvidia route. If they managed to release this next year many would jump to play gta6 on it.

It won't have GTA6 on it because it'll be Xbox PC meaning games made for it will be win32 games. I.e PC games.

5080 is only 10-15% faster than 4080 though.

The marketing stuff about Blackwell having 2x faster RT etc doesn't really hold up.

Blackwells gains come from efficiency and the tensor cores. You will see Blackwell take off when tensor cores are pushed to the limit with future technologies like neural rendering.

Huh, we arleady at next-gen leaks, it feels like PS5 didint even started yet.

Xbox had series X and S hardware and features (Ray tracing and all) locked down in 2016 before the One X even launched. That's 4 years before launch. It's 2025, the PS5 chip tapes out this year launch is likely 2027, 2028 at the latest but 2027 is what everything is pointing to.

I need to know how much of a jump it is over the PS5 pro, is the CPU good?

Its far too early in the leaks to know if this is powerful enough.

Probably around 4080 power give or take, I don't think it'll beat the 4090 at everything. PS5 Pro is weaker than a 5060ti it's like a 5060ish/3070 in power.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Because it hasn't. The PS7 will be just around the corner and the PS5 Will still be viable.

It will, next gen will have the longest cross gen ever. The Switch 2 is way slower than a PS5 and Nintendo plans that console to last till 2032. The PS5 has its post PS6 launch future assured.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Based on this it should be around the 5080->4090 range. 264mm2 doesn't sound large, but that is just the GPU section and it is on 3nm, while also being UDNA/RNDA5. If it clocks really highly performance will be pretty impressive. And really expensive.

That's 5070 size which is huge for a traditional console. I don't think this is the PS6 but the next gen Xbox windows box.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

The only reason I care for new hardware is to maintain 60fps modes for newer games and also the improved AI upscaling. Having FSR4 or better upscaling as the baseline will be hugely beneficial for next gen.

Sony PS6= zen6 based APU (smaller die) + very high clock rate + "T-1000 polyalloy Liquid Metal " type cooling solution+ fancy pantsy upscaling solution ?

Why would msft care? Xbox emerged due to crazy kaz saying after 100m psx sold they could put an os in PlayStation. There are rumored to be 900 million pc gamers.

Next gen is an ecosystem war.
Switch 1&2 vs ps4/5/6/pros vs pc/nextbox/portable pcs ect.. including tv

Because most of xbox's revenue is from console. Because on the ecosystem front they are being threatened by SteamOS and PS. They need numbers, not $1000-1500 devices nobody buys.

Was doing some research and notice something.

Xbox codenames usually utilize a theme such as places or people/animal names.

Playstation codenames are themed around Shakespeare and the Pro versions around The Matrix.

I was beginning to think it may just be an AMD APU just like Strix Halo.

But then I remembered Playstation also used Latin names such as Orbis (Circle) for the PS4 Dev kit and the PS Vita (Life).

Following that, Magnus means (Great) in Latin. Which could be a Devkit codename and not necessarily the codename for the APU.

Shakespeare also talks about great in one of his lines.

Shakespeare
Twelfth Night (Act 2, Scene 5):
"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."


All this doesn't mean it's Playstation related though.

Sony codenames for the consoles are from The Matrix, AMD codenames for the SoC are from Shakespeare.

Oddly pessimistic take for hardware still about 3 years out, but go off.

This is how the last two generations were, and nothing will change next gen. Ever since off the shelf specs became the standard, my expectations for a system with dat special sauce is gone.

Stopped being excited about fancy and fat specs since a while now. Tech is now used more to brute force unoptimized code and less for actual things that do need that extra power we didn't have before. Visually, the only difference will be that Digital Foundry will have to zoom in 10x instead of 4x to see the generational differences.

 

[SSfox]

Then fuck off from this thread?

You fuck off first mister fake PlayStation fan

You are not thinking of how better specs give devs the potential to make more detailed ugly manly strong female characters in their games. You might even see the individual hairs in their stubble.
