How about using some research first before attacking other people. With PS4 Sony showcased their architecture and they introduced ACE (Asynchronous Compute Engine) units from their GCN based GPU which eventually made its way into AMD's next cards. Rapid-Packed Math (or FP16) on the PS4 Pro made its way into AMD's VEGA lineup a year later. Its not far fetched to guess that Sony will have worked with AMD to create a new technology. We've seen it this last current generation of consoles and graphics cards. RGT who has been almost deadly accurate with AMD leaks has been touting RNDA 3 feature for months and is still sticking to it. Its either something in the GE or the cache scrubbers in the PS5, is my guess. FYI no announced RDNA device announced apart from PS5 has cache scrubbers so there is one at least. Anyway all these RDNA talks are silly. Its mostly down to the developer that makes use of these tools. Both are as capable as each other. It doesn't matter if its RDNA 1, 2, 3 or 4 as long as they deliver a good result. |
Who am I attacking exactly, besides irrational fanboys?
I agree, both MS and Sony have probably worked with AMD and created new technology and techniques. There is also the possibility that either console does one thing or another better than techniques that are a part of RDNA2. My point wasn’t that people are wrong if they are talking about PS5 doing something better than AMD, but more towards the people who believe Sony has a suite of tech in the GE that blows RDNA2 away. Go to any forum where this is being discussed, especially GAF, you’ll find plenty of these delusional people. And like I said, they’re on all sides. Xbone has secret sauce too.
I also agree that none of this really matters. Nintendo is putting out the best software around imho and they have much weaker hardware. I don’t agree about RGT though. Repeating stuff other credible leakers have leaked doesn’t really make you a credible leaker as well.
