Rumor: PS5 announcement coming mid 2019 and more info at PSX 2019

[Trumpstyle]

There has been a lot of leaks/rumors lately about desktop zen2 and Navi. It happened yesterday from a youtuber named adoredtv, he leaked the entire Zen 2 lineup along with it's Apu's, he also leaked Navi cards. One thing to note is that adoredtv think all these are chiplet designs but his source would not confirm this.

Now you might be sceptical but this information has been confirmed by Kyle Bennet he knows everything but says there's some minor errors. I'll post the most interesting stuff:

Ryzen 3 3300G - 6C/12T/Navi 15CU - Base Clock 3.0 - Boost Clock 3.8 - TDP 65W - $129

Ryzen 5 3600G - 8C/16T/Navi 20CU - Base Clock 3.2 - Boost Clock 4.0 - TDP 95W - $199

Radeon RX 3060 (Navi12) $129 - 4GB GDDR6 - 75W TDP (Radeon 580 performance)
Radeon RX 3070 (Navi10 or Navi12) $199 - 8GB GDDR6 -120W TDP (Vega 56/geforce 1070 performance)
Radeon RX 3080 (Navi10) $249 - 8GB GDDR6 - 150W TDP (geforce 2070 performance)

 

This is really bad news for us, I'm expecting the ps5 to have a Ryzen 3 3300g chip but with a cut-down radeon 3080 gpu. We have gone from expecting ryzen 2700 cpu performance to ryzen 2600 performance and 30%+ performance of a geforce 1080ti to vega 64/geforce 1080 gpu performance.

SHORT VERSION:

Expect a 6core zen2 cpu (2 cores will be deactive for better yields) with about ryzen 2600 performance and a gpu with geforce 1080/vega64 performance. The information about desktop zen2 and navi should be confirmed at Ces between 8-12 jan if true or not.

I'm slightly sceptical what cpu we will get as it will probably be very hard to do backwards compatibility for PS4 games with only 6 cores.
