You know what? Gamepass never made sense, Sony knew it and that's why they never really copied to tried to compete, people that spent a dollar (1$ for the first month!) to play a brand new AAA game then cancelled their subscription knew it (I'm one of those, thanks for the practically free Forza...

I mean, 4TF as in "Series S performance" is a "No". Well not with Ampere anyway, if this was an Ada design then could be, but it's Ampere by all accounts. The fans are delusional for thinking it's anywhere near Series S, then again that's the literal definition of "fan". It was always short for...

Highest end seems to be only mindshare, I doubt there's much demand there otherwise. Besides, that 512bit bus says "AI" all over it. They want to make a datacenter inference part then maybe shovel the salvage dies off to consumers after. They don't need chiplets to make that profitable yet, and...

They'd do nothing! It's all up to the developer, bandwidth caps are fun that way. But this should be faster than a PS4. The desktop GPU equivalent of the PS4 had 16kb per CU L1, Ampere has 128kb. The L2 was 512kb versus probably around 2mb for Switch 2. That's a good amount of traffic to main...

Supposedly the memory configuration is 7500 MTS at 12gb, putting it at a 96bit bus. That's 17% more memory bandwidth than Steamdeck, combined with Ampere that puts it at, just over/under half Series S depending on if Raytracing is used, though I'd take it probably won't be for most things all...

Gods yes, can you imagine how cratered PS5 would've been without backwards compatibility or the ability to easily do cross gen? Cross gen took up years of this console cycle, it's so easy to picture "current gen" launching 6 months+ after "last gen" without easy portability. That alone should...

That's what I'm wondering about. The Playstation 2 cleared 160 million almost 20 years ago, the world is more populace and richer since then. As a proportion of the amount of people they could sell too even Nintendo has gone down, Sony moreso, Microsoft may as well be cratering versus the...

Oh no, Nintendo's 36% profit margin, what terrible fate befalls them! o_O

Supposedly the hardware was ready this year, but Nintendo wanted a stronger launch year game wise and so delayed it till early next year. A smart move considering (waves hand at zero launch lineup of PS5, less than zero for Series, and their failing sales)

What the next Cyberpunk could look like.

"4070" is a good enough analogy for it's probable performance. Enough for most every 30fps mode to run at 60 if it isn't CPU capped, which is probably what all the Sony first party titles are going to get updated as. It'll also be interesting to see if there's other/upcoming games that get RT...

I severely doubt there's a 240hz screen on the Switch 2, those are still expensive. 120hz I could see as possible at least, those are showing up even on lower mid tier phones. The 240hz support is probably just related to HDMI out (over USB C probably) just technically being able to support...

DF is just mega fans regularly talking way over their heads. The world is full of convergence, GPUs included. Someone makes an improvement everyone else copies it. Nvidia doubled up FP units compared to Int, then AMD does that. AMD introduced giant caches to cut bandwidth to main memory, then...

There was a weird commit that was copied out to Steam Fallout 4 directory specifically mentioning "New Vegas 2" just a few months ago. I mean, Obsidian already has 2 teams up working on Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, why not a third team on Fallout, lead by New Vegas Lead Josh Sawyer? Err...

With these charts, no idea honestly, there doesn't seem to be a standard
