Pretty amazing. Looks like this is the first time in history consoles will launch that aren't dated as soon as they hit the market. Will be interesting to see what the minimum pc requirements will be for the next gen multiplatform games.

I'm excited ! The best games will blow us away. PS5 and XBox Series X on Day One.

Glad to hear that Github leak finally get put to rest. It should’ve been obvious it was fake, but so many ran with it for the longest time. Now Sony just needs to come and give us V a few more specifics about this new beast of a console.

Hmm... I really don't think "many" did. There was one main offender. He just posted.... A lot. 

I think most of the users here take rumours with the intended side of salt. 

Twitter. YT, and N4G, you still have a lot of guys claiming it as fact lol

The thing that "hit me" is the power effeciency claims.
GCN that the PS4 uses, must be very poor, if the RDNA 1 is 50% more effecient, and RDNA2 is another 50% ontop of that.

This basically means Playstation 4, if it was made with RDNA2 and still at 16nm, would have like half the power draw.

CUH-2000 (PS4 slim newest model) already only uses like 47-90watts or so, while gameing.
If you could cut that in half just from useing better GPU architecture.... jeeez.

Imagine if they actually could solve the compatability issues from new architecture.... and made a 7nm version of a PS4 super slim?
It could probably be tiny and only sip like "20-30watts" while playing PS4 games.

I can see PS4 portable or PSVR built with PS4 APU inside,  like how Oculus Quest which has the hardware build inside the head set.

They kind of need the specs. With the rise in 4k TV's, they need all the power they can get. Even if they use checkerboard rendering to upscale from 2k.



We knew that for a long time. Waiting for the "it's final" rumor.

We've been over this already, console specs have nothing to do with minimum PC requirements.

I'm happy to see strong consoles. This time it may take up to a year after launch for them to become midrange.

Guys this doesn't disprove github, there's nothing in there about the gpu being Navi 10, this is just a random assumption some people have. Same as either being rdna1 or rdna2.

Amd confirming PS5 is RDNA2 and that the architecture has clock improvements actually make github more possible as 2ghz looked hard even if they were using Tsmc 7nm EUV. They also comfirmed that RDNA2 has ipc gains (Perf/ghz).

As Github brought Oberon back from the dead another idea of mine is back from the dead. That it's possible that no insider actually knows the TF number for PS5, that they or their sources are guessing it based on game performance from the gpu inside the devkit. Based on my previous list, the insiders seems to believe ps5 is at ~11tf. An 9.2TF Rdna2 would only need 20% stronger TFs to be equal to 11TF Rdna1.

It's also possible that Oberon is just BC stuff and the 36CU/2ghz is just PS5 BC boost mode and nothing else or just outdated.
