Did Microsoft imply they'd use RAMdisk to get better loading times? Sony demo'd a "new" form of SSD that's faster then "Consumer" SSDs.
Christopher Jackson
Everyone who belongs here is going to buy a Ryzen 3900 anyway. Waste of board space.
Jason Scott
it's the same tech for both consoles i'm guessing, sony just marketed it better
Adrian Gutierrez
Probably. I'll just upgrade my i5 8400 that's been decent for the low amount of gaming I do to a 9700 or 9900 whenever the non k models come out
Austin Allen
lol no
Jack Bailey

Hudson Cox
I don't get it
Söyny and Microshit are competing yet they share one manufacturer...AMD
AMD sells them the same CPUs and even GPUs, its just a matter of what Söyny and Microshit wants to do with their consoles
Wouldn't it make sense for at least one of them to go Intel/Nvidia? or are these companies just too good for console makers?
Liam Collins
>I don't get it Judging from your posting style, there's a lot you don't get.
Alexander Hall
AMD has always been the king of the low end. Intel and Nvidia got lucky and had good designs for high power high cost systems but they have reached the end of their design potential.
Daniel Phillips
>playstation kek Are they really still making those? I thought they stopped at like 2 or something. Man video games are so terrible. I take it they need the extra power to crunch through the extra bloat?
Nintendo still does. Sony used to for PS3. Microsoft used to do Intel/Nvidia for the original Xbox. Turns out Intel/Nvidia sucks shit for custom work.
Mason Lewis
They need all the cores to run all of the botnet. The low clock speed is because they got a sick deal on shitty chips. Being able to run the botnet all at once was just a bonus. Games will continue to work fine because clock speed after a certain point does nothing, thats why you see gaymers building 3ghz rigs and not killing themselves for it later.
Carter Gray
don't worry, terry, the CIA niggers aren't getting you anytime soon
Levi Ortiz
I'm pretty sure they were just using a nvme drive. It's just that the ps4 was never meant to have a ssd so the games developed for it cant fully utilize it anyway. A SSD in a ps4 doesnt show nearly the same improvement it would in a PC title. But now with the ps5 developers can assume it's a fixed hardware ssd so they can load super fast. It's like hoenifnyou play an older game like Half-Life on a ssd it still takes some time to load when the file is like 2MB in total
Levi Rivera
Literal glow in the dark Anyone who doesn't have a completely free system with libreboot does not belong here. Fuck off with your NSA botnet.

Daniel Stewart
not really, the bottleneck for consoles will always be in GPU (unless there's some fucked up shit like ps3 CPU)
Bentley Brooks
>that image >that post you come out of a coma dude?
Jaxson Hughes
no they said >use SSD as virtual RAM
Gabriel Rivera
Is the hardware gonna be locked to the playstation firmware/OS?
It would make for a great mid level computer desu, I don't need more than an 8core with modern ipc and 16GB of ram for my desktops computing needs
Easton Hughes
>Nvidia Nobody is touching nvidia. They've treated all their partners like absolute shit, and as long as there is even a half decent competitor, nvidia is avoided like ebola.
Juan Allen
It's inevitable. Next console games will force you to upgrade.
But I think any buying Ryzen should be fine. Radeon GPUs as far back as 2012 came out kept up with the PS4. Amd Cpu will be able kept up
Ethan Hernandez
>Will the Playstation 5 force everybody to upgrade the CPU? no i already have a 2700x
Ryder Green
>Sony demo'd a "new" form of SSD that's faster then "Consumer" SSDs. Is it Optane?
Owen Reyes

Anthony Williams
They're obviously talking about PCIe 4.0 SSDs, max transfer over PCIe 4.0x4 would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7GB/s.
Jonathan Richardson
Isn't that just swap?
Chase Ross
no, it's RROD 2.0
Blake Mitchell
>sony kills all existing PCs t-thanks
Tyler Hall
You do realize that modern consoles have absolutely enormous OSes, right? When the X1 and PS4 launched, over a fourth of their RAM was dedicated to OS. Modern consoles commit entire cores to the OS without games being allowed to use them.
Blake Watson
amd soc > intel soc in price/perf
>having nvidia as a partner
kek
Levi Miller
I think they're going back to dedicated gpus this gen for more power
Lucas Hall
Flaw with your logic; Not every one games and not everyone plays latest games. So why would they upgrade anything? More to the point why would they buy a PS5?. Consoles and games have both gotten way over bloated and games are kinda shat now. Most games are either re-hashes (Re-makes) of classic PS1/PS2 games that they've totally fucked up, going "hey let's take all the shit that made these games great and lets rework it and just toss it all out the window" so in the end all your paying the $60 for is just a name. Or it's some shat game that only a baby would enjoy cause a baby can't understand that the game is shat in the first place. Then there's the lack of backwards compatibility. You paid for all those PS4/ 360 games right? Wouldn't you like to play them on the new console that cost you $600.00. I sure as hell would.
Cameron Hill
Im more worried games are gonna need fast nvme SSDs.
Aaron Campbell
>Microsoft used to do Intel/Nvidia for the original Xbox. No
Benjamin Morris
>games NEED faster storage why? there are only a few games atm that benefits from SSD in performance (NOT loading times, 0.1% lows and shit)
Both consoles are confirmed for backwards compatibility.
Kayden Garcia
Because the current consoles use slow hard drives, when developers get access to fast SSDs theyre gonna use all that band with all the time. whatever, most modern games suck anyway.
William Long
This is why the PS2 was the greatest console; It had B.C with PS1, could also play CD/DVD, and PS2 games all in a single console. At the time a DVD player alone would run you $200.00/300.00.
Kevin Nelson
Modern textures are fuckhuge and loading times are significantly reduced with faster storage. Also open world games where you have to load textures in real time experience ridiculous texture pop-in and stuttering when textures don't load fast enough.
Hunter King
It wasn't a Celeron, it was a Pentium 3 with a reduced cache. It's the same size as a Celeron's cache but has better performance.
Josiah Thompson
Will the new consoles put PC builds down for a little bit considering the hardware and promised features?
I mean sure, PCs are great for mods, peripheral support and such. But we're in 2019 and such thing as 4k at 60fps is still quite the struggle with some titles. Not to mention now they are trying to sell Ray tracing hard, which kills the possibility of getting that with even a beefy computer.
Eli Barnes
Do you really think sony can afford to put a 2080 equivalent gpu inside a 500 dollar console?
Samuel Collins
What is going to happen is the new consoles aren't going to disappoint and try to cover that up with aggressive marketing.
Matthew Rodriguez
*are
Brayden Williams
what are you talking about smelly /v/agrant?
xbox scarlett and ps5 will have a downclocked 3700x and downlocked navi 5700/800
they come out Xmas 2020, by that time that's a low-midrange pc build
No? These consoles use midrange parts, as they have for a while now. They're going to use a Ryzen 2 CPU at a low clock and a midrange Navi derivative while releasing at the end of 2020. These components are midrange even right now, by the time another 1.5 years pass they'll be even lower on the totem pole.
Tyler Roberts
>used to They only did once with the Switch
Camden Murphy
They only needed that much memory for memestreaming.
Tyler Stewart
>Do you really think sony can afford to put a 2080 equivalent gpu inside a 500 dollar console? Not who you were responding to, but actually yes I do. I haven't believe there a strong relationship between the RXT-series GPU BOM cost and the set MSRPs we've or a long time now, even going back to Pascal and the periodic mining crazes that permanently fucked up the consumer graphics demand curve.There is a lot of margin priced into these GPUs that a company like Sony could tell them to knock that shit off and have someone like Nvidia actually listen because they could move enough volume in console shipments to make it work it. Also something like a third or more of the die is bloated with Tensor & RT Cores that do fuck all for gaming even now. Sony knowing the performance won't be there for years to actually justify their inclusion could ask they be stripped out so you could cheaper GPUs with equivalent rasterization performance to current full-fat discrete GPUs.
Sony is going for ray tracing, though, so they'd probably want those RT and Tensor cores to remain where they are.
Connor Williams
At this point hardware almost doesn't matter. It's all about the platform lock-in. You get these exclusives, or you get these ones. Services too.
They could honestly launch a Sony or MS exclusive webstore for PC and just make consoles Windows or linux driven PCs and have the same experience. I'd honestly pay a few bbucks a month to be able to play sony exclusives on my PC
Mason Davis
This. A former Playstation exec said working with Nvidia is like going to the dentist. Like, how greedy of a chink do you have to be to fuck over EVERYONE you ever worked with?
Mason Green
Sony's market cap is smaller than Nvidia's. Why? Because Nvidia enjoyed like a 60% average unit margin for the past 2 decades and a 25-30% net margin. Sony aint got shit to say to Nvidia and their 11% margins
Carter Lee
No one wants to work with nvidia, they price gouge and start to try to change projects on their whims. The switch uses nvidia only because Nintendo got a deal on a warehouse full of unsold tegra socs, the switch is just a nvidia shield on a different form factor.
Dylan Edwards
Because their partners are jews asking for dirt cheap margins
Maybe 20% gross on each unit, maybe. If AMD could move parts like Nvidia they would turn that down too. But for AMD their PC gpus are probably sold for tiny margins or at cost like the VII, so it's better for them to go with something steady even if the margins aren't fantastic.
Bentley Smith
It's reserved entirely by OS.
Jayden Stewart
I mean the memory reserved to the OS is large so it could do background recording.
Benjamin Powell
That doesn't matter, user. I'm saying system hardware doesn't go towards games, the setup isn't even as impressive as it looks, and it's only midrange.
Henry Sullivan
GO THE FUCK BACK TO /V/EDDIT YOU FUCKING UNDERAGE BABIES
Austin Miller
Most likely, but you still have at least two years before anything decent comes out on those systems. Anybody looking to buy a new system in the next 2 years will have to deliberately fuck up to get too few cores.
