I don't know if that's Sony's own number or what

but.... 5.5 GigaBytes a second.... just isn't right

They're quoting 800GB

though I bet ~500GB is accessible

which will fill up FAST

and if the only option for expandable storage is full replacement

it's going to be a cluster fuck

I can't get over that number though

5.5 GB/s

just.... isn't something

Processor will be about the same as the exBox's

both companies are quoting misleading numbers again though

microsoft at least confirmed it was a boost clock, which for AMD will cap out at 2 or 4 cores, depending on the architecture

Still probably comparable to a 3700

OK, I got to the meat of the video itself

5.5 isn't right

and I can't get over that

LOL

oh I got it

what a faggot

Fuck you Sony

it's across all 12 PCIe lanes

fuck off

they have an extra large bus for their NVMe

which means they're going to be proprietary SSDs

Gen 3, normally uses 4 or 6 lanes

so 5.5GB/s is really something closer to 1.8-2.0GB/s

that's more realistic

and those are peak speeds too

It's silly to get hung up on this... but 5.5 just isn't something that we can do yet, on a single drive

especially with last-gen interface technology

Look Sony

if you had a way, to make an honest to God 5.5GB/s NANDflash chip

you wouldn't be making consoles

you'd take over the fucking world

hey hey hey spooky

they say 7.something ones are coming out!1!

those are already out

my cpu is 7 nanometer

5nm is 2022, still won't be that fast

3.5GB/s isn't achievable without RAID either

NAND isn't fast enough

If this peaks above 2.0GB/s

I'll honestly give Sony a win

I actually really appreciate this presentation

despite shitting on the SSD segment

Mostly because I like this kind of stuff, and it's not all snake oil

It's the same problem Microsoft will have tbh

this console will need to be priced at $600 minimum

I'm glad they're considerably more powerful

but 4k and 8k will just waste that potential

The cool shit developers could do at 1080p

will be erased

while they chase CUTTING EDGE 8K GRAPHICS

and we'll be stuck with games that still run in the 40-60FPS range

raytracing

Since they're not going with Nvidea architecture

raytracing will be even weirder

I know AMD came up with a way to do it, efficiently

but it's not quite there yet, to replace rasterization

Which is why top end cards.... have ray tracing as an afterthought

I think PS5 will be less powerful, but I actually expect it to run better than xBox

idk though

I get the feeling that PS5, will be far more impressive

but will have objectively lower specs, just based on how you report the numbers

Which is why they're trying to push these untrue numbers like 5.5

since that's what it will """feel""" like

God

no one understands how SSDs work

I just....

I'm glad some people are calling bullshit on the rated speeds

But.... the more basic question is what's the point of a fast interface you can't saturate

your old mechanical hard drives, were conected using 6GB/s SATA CABLES

But you'd be laughed out of the room claiming you got anything more than a couple hundred MB/s

even if we believe that sony's drives are capable of 5.5 GB/s

they're... just not going to achieve that... at any point

imagine though

if they had that tech

and...
