Forums - Sony Discussion - PS5: Leaked Design And Technology [RUMOUR]

Who is this guy and why should we believe him?



Around the Network

Sony already knows the release date two years in advance and an hdmi port on the front? Fake!!!!!

Plus that “render” looks very questionable. Fun regardless though but I’m currently fine with ps4. So many awesome games out and more to come including kingdom hearts 3, devil May cry 5, sekiro and re2 remake.

1550MHz seems too high, unless Navi has some voodoo magic or the PS5 is an XB1 at launch. XB1X is only 1175MHz, and that's with a vapor chamber heatsink.

7nm brings with it a slew of advantages in regards to power consumption and heat production.

I'm not worried about Zen 2 in terms of design or being ready, I'm worried about price. How much is a 6 core Ryzen 2 going to cost on 10nm or 7nm by late 2019, and hot much cheaper will PS get it for? While it should be semi custom and not a full blown Ryzen 2, I see the price potentially being an issue, unless they scale back elsewhere, up the launch price, or eat some more cost. If they had a long enough lead over Scarlet, they could just go with $499 for the first 6 months to a year, especially with the 25th anni hype.

You can't just look at the off-the-shelf pricing and assume that is what Microsoft/Sony is going to pay.
Ryzen 2 should be cost competitive with current Ryzen chips anyway.
A 6-core Ryzen 2 is likely a reduced single CCX anyway if the CCX is boosted to 8 cores, more than possible for a monolithic console SOC.

The memory does seem off. Either a 20GB pool, or 16GB with separate OS RAM like you said.

Needs to be power of 2. Or split pools.
So... 16/24/32GB are the likely GDDR6 pools.
Or... 16GB GDDR6+4/8GB DDR4.

I don't see OS memory usage decrease over the prior generation... Don't think that has ever happened in any successive console release.

Bravo considering you have school shooting in America. Could have triggered the kids lol

Let's keep that kind of thing out of this thread and remain on topic please.

Yeah. Looks like a derivative of the launch Xbox One... And that console was ridiculed to oblivion for is VCR/Ugly design.

The GPU clock is possible since the AMD engineers behind the Zen CPU microarchitecture spent time on optimizing Vega's cache (that's where they blew most of the transistor budget on the new design) so that the whole GPU could achieve higher clocks and that's without using GlobalFoundries 12nm refresh node which is rumored for their upcoming new Polaris chip but that'll still probably clock lower compared to Vega ... 

Navi will probably be built on 7nm but we don't have any idea if Sony is prototyping with it or if it's final shipping hardware since the original Orbis prototype featured 3rd generation Terascale chip equivalent to an AMD Radeon 6950 instead of a customized 2nd generation GCN chip like we saw shipping on base hardware ... 

I'd assume that the architecture is still a moving target so that they can still bake in some more new hardware features though but the ballpark specs sounds fine for developing next gen games ...

I'm sorry, but that render is so fake (and the design is so ugly). The guy just added a number 5 in Arial or something like that after the PlayStation logo. Next.

It might be fake, but you really think it looks uglier? I think it looks alot better especially over the sandwich looking Pro.

Speaking of hardware, today I had some students arguing about whether the PS4 or Xbox one was better. I simply looked at them and stated, confidentially, Nintendo. They lost their minds haha.

More proof the education system is failing



So fake it hurts.

I wouldn't call myself a fan of the PS4 Pro, but its design is much more polished and consistent than this "leak"'s. This just looks like a mess of colors, shapes and logos.

I don't know, the HDMI-Port would make perfect sense in my book. You would need it for VR so you don't have to plug in that ugly box that comes with PSVR right now. Being able to plug in your headset in the front would be sweet. 

But yeah, it still looks fake. Also the specs would be somewhat disappointing. Hardly more capable than my laptop. Already less capable than my desktop. I mean I know consoles don't really try to be better than PCs these days. But being behind 1-2 years before release? I don't know, that kinda sucks. And if they go the route of 4K gaming with just 10 TF, I will expect another generation of 30 fps stutter. RTX 2080 Ti comes with about 14 TF and it still can't handle all games from today in 4K at 60 fps. Talk about future proofing. I'd prefer it if Sony waits a little more, maybe until 2020 or even 2021 and packs some real punch into the system. Otherwise it will be dated very soon. But well, at least we'll get a proper CPU instead of a potato this time, so that's something I guess.

But whatever, we'll see.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

1) It's a Fake

2) PS5 will never come out before Nov 2020. It's useless to talk about specs.

3) We can now move on.
