The ideia he believes there won't be low and mid range RDNA 2 cards is telling lolCome on now this is shitty logic and you know it.
Judging a chips microarchitecture by the amount of CUs it has, by your logic an entry level RDNA3 card would be actually RDNA1 because it doesn't go over 40CUs. Hell 5700XT is actually GCN because it doesn't go over 64CUs
Co-signed.
Ah got you, still shitty logic that could be used a ammo for console warfare. Judging a GPU micro-architecture by the amount of streaming processors is just dumb, good GPU architectures scale from lowest to highest amount of shaders
I disagree it was a last minute plan b switch, variable clocks frequency along with the software solutions to give developers control over power budgets and make it work seamlessly and the exotic cooling solution isn't something they come up in the span of 6 months or even 1 year. This was integrated into the SoC design and that's before even getting into their exotic cooling solution patent. Why spend all this money on R&D if they are not going to use it?
GCN 0.1
20GB/s is a peak for TE, cerny even said devs have to be mindful of how much bandwidth they allocate to it, it won't be typical usage
How do we know this? time between leaks doesn't necessarily translate to time during development
The more powerful GPU needs more bandwidth to materialize its compute advantage. A 10TF GPU won't reach the same highs as a 12TF GPU, their bandwidth consumption isn't equal
In the personal I believe the user score is usually garbage, if a site like for put a name IGN can have a bias the people who write aIt's not a conspiracy theory, it's out there in the open, just read some so-called professional reviews. That game got review bombed, user reviews says it all, a rare case where user score is much higher than the Metascore:
You now what now I believe PS5 is using jaguar those bastard of Sony lying us in the spec sheet
You just contradicted your own argument by saying github is outdated. It is less then a year old. Then you said things have to be locked down 2 years out. How would it be an old chip if everything has to be already locked down?

In all fairness, a reviewer can only review whats in front of them. Either provide a relatively bug free game for review, or do not send out review copies prior to retail release.
Oh I understand that they just copped a lot of backlash by fans because they wee apparently told that the patch would fix a lot of issues when they got the review copies sent to them and like I said when retails went out and the patch was installed the game was far better without as many issues.
Not to sound mean but if you've been following closely, the general consensus on BOTH next gen consoles is that the CPU and SSD I/O provides the biggest changes to next gen. These components are actually changing the way games are created.
Hardly surprising, It's not the 1st time they are doing a 360 on their narrative
I'd say that 8/10 is quite generous for Days Gone. I enjoyed the game, got a platinum even but when you compare it to the best of the best games, I think 7/10 is very just. It's a good game and we can expect improvements in the sequel.It's not a conspiracy theory, it's out there in the open, just read some so-called professional reviews.

Reports started flowing in that multiplatform performance isn't really that ahead of competition or even falls behind. Time to advertise something else. We'll soon see a lot of shifting narratives from the Discord gang too.
Soooo... if the June issue of PSM UK has new info on the DualSense controller and horizon 2, where are them leaks?
I have to agree with this strongly. I hadn't gotten Days Gone at first because though it looked really cool to me, what I was reading about it gave me pause. Sounded like it was super buggy and maybe broken. I didn't pay attention to the reviews talking about how male-centric it was or how it was based on a "macho worldview" because frankly, I don't give a shit about that. Me caveman! Me shoot things and go BOOOM!
But it looked really cool so I ended up getting it probably 3 weeks to a month after release. Apparently they'd fixed the bugs by then because I had no issues. The game was, IMHO, much better than it had been reviewed. Sure, it's a certain type of story. Show me a game based on a (basically) zombie apocalypse with the modern world gone that's centered on "woke" principles and story line and I'll show you one LOUSY game that shouldn't have been made! lol. So I really liked it.
Look, I think there's room in games to tell all kinds of stories. When a game isn't centered on a specific character and type of character, I want and expect to be able to customize my character, make it male or female or look like whatever I want. If the game IS centered on a specific character and type, like say the Last of Us was....that's fine too. I'm not going to ding TLOU for having a white dude in it, and I wouldn't rip that game or a similar one for having any other race character as the center. That's all good. Same thing with other aspects that people deem "woke." When things are central to the story, all good and as I said, there's a LOT of room for storytelling in games.
What I DO object to, is when such things are shoveled into a game just "because it's time" or "because it's 2020 now." If there's not a reason central to the story, game or character, I don't care how many women the main character bangs. Likewise if the main character was gay or anything else. We're seeing this shoveling in a lot of movies right now. Instead of making a good strong balanced female character and making it about that, the movie creators make an unrealistic caricature of a woman and not only that, they have to make all the male characters useless just to show even more how awesome the female character is. (See: The Last Jedi as one good example of this). Also, isn't it insulting that to make a strong woman character they so often make the woman act MALE? She's twice as ass kicking and beer chugging as her male colleagues, just to show how strong she is. Can't a woman be strong without being "butch?" Same for men...can't men be sensitive, caring or idealistic without acting feminine? Now, of course there's a place for masculine women and feminine men as well, but it just seems that things are out of balance.
The other problem is making things "woke" by breaking the world lore and story. Dr. Who is a great example of this. Throughout the history of the show and books there were male and female TimeLords. It was even joked about that a gender transition in a regeneration would be a disaster...rumored to have happened but doubtless untrue. Then "Because it's time" they broke all that lore and made the new Doctor regenerate as a female. Wouldn't have bothered me if that had been a part of the show and story's lore, etc. but it wasn't. They shoehorned it in and then told everyone if they didn't like it, it was because you were a misogynist.
Anyway, enough of that. Bottom line I agree with games. There's lots of room to tell lots of stories and to keep characters diverse as well. Everyone should get to play at least some games as a character that resembles themselves or whatever image they so choose. I just think it's the wrong thing to do to try and force or shoehorn things into those stories in the name of being "woke." It doesn't feel legitimate and I think it is frankly insulting.
Ruined? Seriously? Who says this cannot happen in an artistic story? It happens frequently in real life so why not in games and movies? Disregarding topics like this at all would be disrespectful and stupid.
Yeah I agree. Things like Battlefield V it's simply brain dead to push identity politics. But a tale that will undoubtedly be deeper that your usual FPS pop off, ideas should be free flowing if done with nuance and self awareness.

Senior visual artist on Resetera. I cant find the post now but yeah he essentially said this gen will be devs learning how to best take advantage of the new way of developing games without limitations in hard drive and the increased CPU muscle.
I don't understand why ppl even give a %uck about the github leaks at this point. Gtf over it already, real, certified console info has already been given and more to come
Nope. It just fuels a theory that Sony upclocked PS5 GPU to narrow the gap between PS5 and XsX.
There's a huge chunk of Cerny's presentation as to why those frequencies were chosen, and the reasoning behind it.
Because who gives a fuck? What is the point? How about we just use official specs? Good idea right?
Not saying he didn't
Wait, so if people subscribed to the Official PlayStation Magazine in UK get the digital copy a week earlier before it's physical copy sale (Next Tuesday, May 5th), that day is supposed to be today. Based on what's on this magazine's June issue cover, I think we're getting a DualSense info blowout with a Horizon Zero Dawn 2 reveal in a few hours.
....leaks and quarantine....leaks.and.quarantine lol.
