That's enough.
This is the Internet, so we can say what we like.
I'm fine because I know it.

Agreed

Believe the CEO's official remarks over random Chinese employees.

That's enough.

I was thinking the same thing
It's about time the mod came.

I'm not going to argue with him anymore, but it's hard to decide where to quit the argument.
I think I'll be here for a while.

Actually a bit sketchy thinking about it. The PS5 GPU should faster than 5700XT, which in turn should be more powerful than a RTX2070 Super.

I would take that statement with a grain of salt. A hearsay from some Chinese source / forums doesn't bring much confidence.

But anyway getting offtopic lol.

Dunno if I have a decent SSD in my gaming laptop, this is what it can do


Only half as fast as the PS5 SSD in raw speed under optimal conditions.
Of course PS5 can also benefit from compression upping the data rate to 9 GB/S while directly reading into video memory.
For some reason my SSD suffers greatly from random access, perhaps that's normal or a windows thing?

It's much faster than the HDD at least which has it's own quirks. (Why is writing faster than reading?)
But it's obvious that random access is a death sentence for HDDs.

Anyway if this is a decent SSD (I don't know) then the ps5 is at least 3 times faster and can bypass reading things first to normal ram to transfer them through to vram afterwards.

The C drive certainly has a decent one. The problem is we won't really know a lot of things until the next gen systems launch and until then, we can only speculate as to how things will perform. At the very least for the first couple years after launch, I think most SSDs like yours will be fine. Once the cross gen phase goes away and engines really start getting optimized for next gen technologies. That's when people may need to upgrade for AAA games.

The one thing that no one should be able to refute is the fap worthy SSD that's in the PS5 since it really is hella fast.

You know, ever since MS announced that they were going to be doing a presentation every month I have been doubting this strategy. If you're going to do several presentations of course you cannot put everything on just one; of course you are going to have to space your content, so every event is going to look (and be) smaller by default.

Sony, on the other hand, apparently is going to drop it all in one sitting so there is a high chance that is going to look/be bigger by default.

Now, which one is the best strategy? I'm actually inclined to say Sony's, but I'm kinda of glad MS is doing it this way because it gives smaller games their time to shine. I mean, games like Scorn, The Medium, Call of The Sea and Scarlet Nexus would have been buried if they had been shown on the same event as Halo, Hellblade, Forza and Fable? And contrary to what some people want to make you believe that these games were hated by everybody, if you look at every trailer independently you will see that each of these games actually had a good reception.

but the compression is a software thing right? thats not specific to a SSD or HDD
