Tim Sweeney: 'PS5 is so impressive it's going to help drive future PCs' (Verge article)

[madmaltese★ 2,553]

“It has an immense amount of GPU power, but also multi-order bandwidth increase in storage management. That’s going to be absolutely critical,” he says. “It’s one thing to render everything that can fit in memory,” he adds, but a much more impressive feat to render a world that “might be tens of gigabytes in size” almost instantaneously, as Sony’s new console and its M.2 solid-state drive are promising.

“We’ve been working super close with Sony for quite a long time on storage,” he says. “The storage architecture on the PS5 is far ahead of anything you can buy on anything on PC for any amount of money right now. It’s going to help drive future PCs. [The PC market is] going to see this thing ship and say, ‘Oh wow, SSDs are going to need to catch up with this.”

its actually pretty obvious.  We're you expecting pc ssds to not catch, and quickly beat these ones ? Lol

It's okay, MS has a marketing deal with Team Blooper.

Pretty sure the ones releasing this summer will be nearly 40% faster. These are threads seeking validation for a computationally weaker system.

Obviously , they are hypijg a tech demo of an engine that will look better on xbox. Lol

Maybe MS will pick up another Kickstarter game for a 6 month console exclusive.

The gaming experts who think Microsoft didn't get fucked in the ass this generation weigh in.

lmao cows are so hurt that ps5 is least powerful . I guess we will see , in 2 years , which console runs ue5 games better. 

 

I think the answer is obvious, but cows are dumb

It's very obvious, one of their studios made the best use of UE4 this gen and next-gen they've said UE is going to be a core tenant of their overall studio development pipeline.

 

Microsoft will push this engine to its limits.

everything Dyno says is always very obvious yet somehow always very wrong 

 

Point is Sony first party always looks better than UE and if this is UE5 real time on ps5 than just imagine what Sony will show when guerilla, Santa Monica and ND reveal their games

Mmhmm

The only Sony first party to even run on Unreal is days gone from what I know and that's because Sony Bend was a small handheld team before. Everything will run on a custom engine on PS5 first party anyways that will probably outperform UE5 when running specifically on PS5.

1 TB M2 SSDs with PCI 4.0 tech go for $200-$300, if hes implying that PS5's drive is more advanced then he must be exaggerating.

We know that due to optimization if you want to use a PC SSD, you need a 7gbps SSD in the PS5 for the extention port. So it's damn fast.

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

It's obvious the PS5 is weaker than the X, but the SSD does give it certain advantages as well. Win lose some, win some. Lemmings are trying to downplay like an SSD 2x+ faster will have zero effect.

Sony continues to indirectly fuck Microsoft.

[MalaXmaS 646]

Going spec by spec we all know that the Series X will murder the PS5.

Sony better start working on some good games, with all that change in logo and everything.

I hope they don't stick to the pathetic strategy of depending on indies for a couple years, like the beginning of the PS4.
