Forums - Sony Discussion - PS5 To Feature Full Discrete GPU Not APU [RUMOUR]

Exclusive: In the hustle and bustle of Computex, I had an interesting conversation with someone who will remain anonymous, about Sony's next-gen PlayStation

"After I had found out what this person did, I had a few questions to ask about the PS5 and what it will arrive as - especially when we look at Microsoft's upcoming Project Scorpio console. The first question I had was "will it feature a discrete GPU" to which I received a smile and a "I can't say exactly", and then I said would it feature an APU like Project Scorpio, and then there was a "no"."

Let's think of the possibilities: PS5 runs a Vega-based graphics card that we've been hearing about in the GTX 1070 level performance range, with an 8-core Ryzen-based CPU. Sony could push for a more expensive console experience, while providing better than Project Scorpio performance

"Another question I asked was when will Sony release the PlayStation 5, and my anonymous source said "definitely not in 2018", but wouldn't confirm a 2019 release."

Was gonna say "haven't we heard this rumour before?" then saw "Posted: Jun 3, 2017" on the article.

Dood, you're not even slightly late, that's crazy late

Blame GAF! It was just posted there ...

I want another 599 US dollars moment when announcing the PS5.

They should announce a 399 US Dollar system and a 599 US dollar system at launch.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

But why would they? That makes no sense.

Would rather prefer a 399$ PS5 and 799$ Playstation Ultimate (without number) or something but they need to market it as a distinct entity only for the most demanding gamers because I think that a mid-gen at the start of a generation would upset many people.

"Stages of the game will also be based on famous battles, which actually took place in acient Japan."

It's Ridge Racer!



Doesn't a dedicated GPU cost money? Why would they do it? Now that they convinced everyone that an APU is actually worth money.
