Microsoft: Xbox Series S and X only next-gen consoles with full RDNA 2 feature set

[JRPGfan]

Customisations to hardware are a thing.
Sony have just customised their chips instead of useing full base AMD RDNA 2, they changed parts of it, to something they wanted instead.

"Sony wanted their own VRS and own mesh shader type operations." - Geordiemp


This article about the xbox makes it sound like a fantastic thing, that its full RDNA2.
That could also mean "too lazy to try and improve" on AMDs design.
Maybe Sony wanted something differnt or better, and changed parts of the design.

This doesnt have to be a weakness.

MS PR wording, which means nothing at all, apparently confirmed the PS5 was a 2019 console that got delayed, holy shit hahaha.
Teh warz are really something, don't worry, you'll see your difference, not the way you want tho xD

This. People blowing this out of purportions, because of PR takes from a xbox site.
