There is absolutely nothing to prove nor confirm what sony is going to use with regards to their CU count. The only thing that the leaks really suggest is that sony had dev kits or engineering samples out there earlier. That's not indicative of final hardware, but just saying that sony wanted devs to be able to get on actual next-gen development earlier and test out other more exotic components of their hardware. If you ask me, my money would be on the GPU CU count in the PS5 being at something like 40(44) or 44(48). I expect MS to go with a 52(56) layout. It just makes no sense that there could b such a discrepancy in CU count between the two to the tune of 36(40) and 52(56). Even if Sony is going the higher clocks route. The only way that makes sense is if they are also going the $399 route. I also expect Sony to go with overall less RAM than whatever MS goes with, so something like 16GB for sony vs 20GB for MS, and sony's reason for this would because they would have the better or faster SSD. I expect Sony to go with faster GDDR6 chips than MS though. |
The github leak clearly says PS5 is 36CU and I think that is fine. Based on all the leaks I think we are looking at:
PS5, 300mm2, 36(40)CU, Tsmc 7nm euv and for Xbox series X 350mm2, 52(56)CU also with tsmc 7nm euv. It's very likely that Wccftech and Eurogamer got the die size for Xbox series X wrong.
And I don't think 40(44) CU layout is possible based on looking at Navi10 and Navi14.
