I'm guessing by the wording, they expect PS5 to be the most powerful? If that's true, plus we get full B/C for PS5, PS5 will be a no-brainer for a lot of people.

Whatever specs PS5 will have, I will be happy; Sony will deliver a great piece of hardware, I have no doubts about it. 12 TF GPU ? 13 TF GPU, etc...doesn't matter. But I want PS5 BC with all playstation, and my dream will come true !

What is claimed:

1. A system for transforming a physical object for use within a digital environment, the system comprising: a physical object that is associated with a unique identification code; a graphics processing unit that generates a digital copy of the physical object based on an associated set of codes, wherein the generated digital copy is presented within the digital environment of a network game and assigned to a player of the network game, the player associated with the unique identification code; a client device that connects to the digital environment of the network game in which the digital copy is presented, wherein the client device receives customization input from the player selecting one or more modifications to the digital copy, wherein each modification is associated with a corresponding value; a collectible database that stores: the associated set of codes, information regarding an account associated with the player, wherein the player account includes the unique identification code associated with the physical object and the digital copy as modified in accordance with the player customization input, and an ownership history of the digital copy, wherein the ownership history is associated with a reward that is assigned to the player after the digital copy is subsequently transferred to a different player; a network game server comprising a communication interface that subsequently receives the unique identification code over a communication network; and a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to: retrieve the modified digital copy from the collectible database based on the unique identification code, provide the retrieved digital copy for inclusion in the network game, wherein the digital copy is tradable to other users within the network game based on a total value of the modifications selected for the digital copy, and assign the reward to the player in accordance with the ownership history after the digital copy is subsequently transferred to the different player.

PS5 GPU News - AMD NAVI GPU Reveal Coming Next Month

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi-srB8-008

Well, I like to watch his videos, he is a cool guy. He is just guessing and giving his thoughts though.

Meh, I dont care what the specs are, premium versions of both consoles I will buy, doesnt matter about price, I am more interested in BC and having a disc drive because I rent many of my titles, and sometimes buy that way as well. Looking forward to the reveals.

What did pachter predict

I'm just hoping for true backwards compatibility. Lately i've been more interested in replaying some older titles.

PlayStation 5 GPU Might Be Blazing Fast - AMD NAVI 10 Lite 1.8 GHz Rumor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5uAkrERGc

Sounds a bit high...anyway, it's just a rumor. Thoughts ?

Sony should choose lite versions of the latest AMD tech available when production will start. Settling for penultimate tech could save some costs in the earliest period of PS5 life, but later it will eventually cost more lifetime, as it will give less performance for a given silicon area, losing soon its initial cost advantage, not to mention that later production cost-reducing process refinements and shrinks could eventually start being available only for latest architectures, furtherly widening the gap. Last, but not least, lower power consumption for the same performance will bring savings on power supplies and cooling systems along the whole production life.
