5500 only has one SE, because RDNA has dual CU units called WGP then every 5500 has only one SA with disabled CUs (a single WGP). PS5, XSX, 5700 and 5700XT have two SEs, so when you disable one WGP (two CUs) in one SE, you have to disable one WGP (two CUs) in the other SE. That's why PS5 and XSX will never have all 4 disabled CUs in the same SE (or SA).
For reference a PC with a 1GB/s SSD will need a 23GB DDR4 buffer to match XSX 4.8GB/s throughput. Probably closer to 16GB if they dedicate CPU resources to decompression. Those 12 core CPUs will come in handy then
Or just lower the graphical settings and have less data stream from the SSD because the assets are smaller. Lowering texture resolution alone will probably allow a much slower SSD run XSX games well.
That defect the goal of increase the yields.
You are missing the point. Most disabled CUs in the PS5 and XSX are actually just fine and not defective and there isn't going to be a single PS5 or XSX with all 4 disabled CUs in the same SA.
How do you know that?
Why then? I don't get it
More into it:
It's suggesting that the company that Sony was trying to strike a deal with to implement software-based ray-tracing for current PS4 games might be Crytek. This could represent the HDR implementation/emulation on SDR, non-HDR games. Pretty interesting stuff, and could as well help to minimize the ray tracing penalty in future next gen gaming to have a hybrid solution.

I think the reasonable assumption is Sony will release last gen games on PC. They did it this gen with PS3 games and they'll do it next gen with PS4 games. That way they can expand reach and give old games a second wind without diminishing value of the current console
Because Sony said so. They are not releasing HZD on PC just for cash.

Thats is a business decision I can't deny. Saying this don't make money is ludicrous.

What's next for Guerrilla, upcoming TV and film projects, and the guiding principles that drive PlayStation’s network of world-class game studios.
That's Sonys and MSs job, not EAs, not Ubisofts, or anyone else's job for that matter. Publishers don't care about "new tech" they care about sales, and they will put their games on the system that makes the most money
4 vs 8, We're still comparing 2 SSDs.
I'm not talking about the OS features. I'm talking about the tidbit where a developer implied he can expect some post-RDNA2 features in the PS5 (and probably also XSX) GPU.
Correct, although I don't expect all of PS5's games to be next-gen only for some time, just like XSX. By "sometime in the next-gen" I think you mean "3 to 5 years from now" which would be accurate.
This is the exception, not the norm.
If that is the case they may go with 40/56 CUs and not 36/52 CUs.
If their plan is to strategically release some exclusives to PC (and they confirmed again only Horizon and DS are coming) at the end of each generation, the more units selled and the bigger interest on sequels is more than worth it.
My God, you still with this? That did not happen, big publishers made the games cross-gen for the first 2 years.
To clarify: your take is that games are developed on PC first and consoles second?
The only one loading games in less than a second is ps5. PCs until they get newer custom i/o are likely to just load a few times faster than hdd and no more. We're seeing minute+ load times on some games designed for ssd on pc.
star citizen a game designed for ssd loads in 1minute+ on ssd vs 2minute+ on hdd. It might load in 1.4 seconds on ps5. And 1minute+ at least on pc.
Do you think the custom i/o and the decompressor are also duplicated? Doubtful. These things are small enough and unlikely to have defects most of the time.
You think a 1:4 ratio of decompression needs a 1GB of zeros? Nope, some real workloads will see that,
Isn't that also due to the h/w decompressor?
For lossless it is really hard to archive a decompression in less than half second with a 1:4 ratio.
The CUs are disabled for yields purpose.
Sorry, but it looks a bit like wishful thinking if you answer with this.

Read my post again. CUs are disabled for yields but disabling more than 2 CUs is a waste in RDNA's case. Sony, MS and AMD have to disable 4 CUs because that's the minimum for an RDNA GPU with 2 SEs. It doesn't mean that they want to disable 4, they might want to disable just 1 or 2, but you can't disable a single CU in an RDNA 2 GPU. The minimum CU you can disable on an RDNA GPU follows this formula - (number of SE) * 2, or in PS5's case, 2*2 = 4. You are making a false assumption that Sony and MS need 4 disabled CUs for yields while in reality, they need only 1 or 2 while the 3rd and 4th disabled CUs are forced on them by AMD's architecture. It's either 4 or nothing while the 4th disabled CU isn't really helping yields.
2015 was 2 years after 2013. Math is hard so I understand.
The end of 2015 to the end of 2016 was PS4s third year.
I already told you, game development takes place on Pcs. If you develop games on Pc FOR consoles (Like GTA5, RDR2) that's a different topic, but you don't use a PS4 for game development, aside from optimization, all of that takes place on Pc, its a fact.
