Also explains why PS5 has a 350 watt power supply compared to 320 watt for Xbox Series X, even though Xbox Series X is more powerful and has locked clocks compared to variable clocks on PS5; if PS5 is only RDNA 1.5 (RDNA 1 with some RDNA 2 features), we know that RDNA 2 is more power efficient, which would explain why Xbox Series can get away with a smaller power supply in spite of the console being more powerful. |
It’s pretty amazing how over time the GitHub leak has turned out to be almost entirely accurate. GAF and Reeeeeee mods should be dining on crow for months. It also explains the delay in dev kits that people were rumored to be annoyed by earlier this year, MS was simply waiting for full RDNA2 support.
Obviously MS wants development between console and PC to be as simple as possible. Sony doesn’t have to worry or care about this. Will be interesting to see what differences this makes in multiplats down the line. Won’t make any differences at launch.
GAF is in full meltdown mode though.... amazing responses. Apparently MS is lying... and RDNA2 is “generic” anyway. Mind you this is coming from the same posters who for months were saying PS5 is the only RDNA2 console. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, RDNA2 is generic. When you’re bored, the thread there is worth a read lol
