| JEMC said: I know that both consoles will have an 8-core CPU, but will it really use SMT and have 16 threads? Given the huge performance increase both consoles would have just from going from Jaguar to Zen2, the extra threads may not be needed, maybe even making development a tad more easier. In any case, and whether they go with and 8/8 or an 8/16 design, I agree that this chip could be very similar to the one they'll use. |
Sony's corporate release specifies it is a 8 core, 16 thread Zen2 CPU.
