I believe I'm right and a lot of people here will be disappointed in ps5. 8/8 core ryzen cpu with 2,6 ghz clock speed (no extra threads), 9 TF navi gpu, 16 gb gddr6 (with 448 GB/s bandwidth) and a 2 TB laptop mechanical hard drive (140 mb/s read speed). These are my specs for Ps5. Keep in mind power consumption and cost when making the prediction. The Gpu need to draw about 120W and the CPU about 15-20W and the rest about 10W. Otherwise they need more expensive cooling system like the Xbox one X is using and it's very unlikely Sony will go that route. On 7nm transistor technology it's very unlikely we see a GPU with more than 10 TF because then power consumption will go above 120W, Sony will likely just double the gpu cores (compared to the ps4 pro) with some clock speed increase which give 9 TF. On memory bandwidth I expect sony not to go with the fastest GDDR6 memory speed because of cost and power consumption. And on Cpu a 8/8 Core ryzen with 2,6 Ghz clock speed should pull about 15-20W on 7nm. I don't expect Sony to do anything fancy with the Ps5, like an additional ddr4 to run the OS, a flash drive to give shorter loading times and more RAM or some kind of HBM+DDR4 combo. This is because of Cost, need to keep it down. |
PS4 had 256Mb of DDR3 dedicated for the OS. It worked so well that they increased the amount to 1GB in the Pro. It's cheap and add memory for the OS, usually OS don't need fast memory.
I don't see how PS5 could not have DDR3 or DDR4 for the OS. The only question is how much. I'd say 4GB minimum.
