The Series X just has more going on, it's a more impressive piece of hardware, that's not to take away from the SSD for the PS5 which is incredible but it's putting lipstick on a pig so to speak.

That's according to the Chiphell forum... Makes sense. Binning chips to be stable at 2.23GHz... pretty insane. I bet this did wonders for AMD R&D; they seem pretty confident in their "multi ghz" claim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, i can only imagine that the yields are already not very good because we're just not getting into 7nm, but to then find the most stable silicon at such high frequencies. Not only that, AMD processors were never kind to overclocking. Actually, 7nm in general has excellent yields. 7nm for an APU with a GPU that has to clock at 2.23GHz? Yeah, that's probably nightmare-ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PS5 native in their little chart... means PS5 fucking games...... Notice how it did not say "PS5 - boost" You're wrong dude... and you better be ready to take the L.. because after how you're treating me, I'm going to make a point of it https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/03/18/unveiling-new-details-of-playstation-5-hardware-technical-specs/ I'll go ahead and take that apology now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You were right. But their wording gave doubt... which was essentially my point. They still don't say AT LAUNCH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,722 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I assume their initial target was 9.2 tflops, but then they decide to throw a few extra bucks at the cooling and push it to 10.3 tflops. Even their SSD size of 850 gigs imo shows they're trying as hard as possible to hit that magical 399 price tag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After X/Scorpio launching at 500, if Lockhart really exists. There is no way Series X will go below 500 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,606 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 850 gb LMAO will probably be 650 usuable . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no way Series X will go below 500 I'm not saying it will. I think with Sony's exotic SSD and sky high GPU frequencies.. it's entirely possible that the costs could actually be higher depending on yields. You trying to say that their SSD being 850GB means they're trying hard doesn't seem right to me. It seems to me like they're literally trying to keep costs in line with what they think their competitor will release at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are they using software emulation? Obviously they would have to be, there's no way they would pull the PS3 with the built in PS2 EE for BC again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
