| LudicrousSpeed said: I predicted Sony would have the stronger box, I was wrong. Releasing this right after MS did a deep dive to me said they wanted to one up MS. But as soon as Cerny started running damage control on how it was fine to have less CU’s and lower TFLOP I knew they were going to put out a weaker machine. Will be interesting to see how the imbalanced CPU/GPU setup will affect games. DF guys have some detailed posts about it on Reeeee. If a game is CPU intensive then the GPU will be affected. If a game is using the GPU then the CPU is affected. Either one affects performance. Apparently devs can use a CPU or GPU mode to help the console performance. But what happens if a game needs to utilize both? Seems the performance gap gets even wider the more devs take advantage of PS5 power. Bizarre. Can’t wait to see the prices. |
I think Sony's SSD tech will be a game changer, but they sure did a piss poor job on the presentation though. Sony obviously didn't want people to compare Tflops, but that's exactly what everybody is doing now lol. They should have shown something of a game concept to explain what the SSD stuff actually means for game development and why they're putting so much of a focus on it. Now everybody will just see 10 vs 12Tflops and ps5 having a smaller SSD... But I agree, prices will tell us the whole tale.
