They decided to enable 4 additional cores within the dark silicon area.

Explains it all Must have happened after Sony announced 8 cores....

June 8 to be exact.. it's right there in the tweet.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Yeah. It's not a new tweet. Bbot just repeating it again because 'hmm' adds a lot of supporting weight. It's pretty hard to doubt the validity of the rumour now.

 

[AlphaWolf]

Throw in an 'uh' or an 'umm' and we can call it confirmed.

 

[BRiT]

"Uh fuck no."

8 Core zen 2 already confirmed.

I don't think so? Zen 2 was confirmed but i don't think they have said anything about the core count.

They didn't? Or was it just Sony?

 

[MrFox]

Just sony as far as I can find. Eurogamer article from june said the same but they expect 8 too because it's so foundational to the zen arch.

 

[Mskx]

They didn't? Or was it just Sony?

Yeah, 8 Core for Sony was revealed in the Wired article in April(which i had to go back and double check after Famitsu also said so last month and everyone acted like it was new information???), but no confirmation for the Xbox.

 

[MrFox]

They said the cpu will be 4 times more powerful so we can pretty much deduce something around 8 at 3ghz point something.

 

[PSman1700]

Almost certain MS will use the same hardware, so 8 cores there too. A 12 zen2 or 3 would be a dream though

PS5 21% more powerful than Scarlett confirmed ?

[AlphaWolf]

21% more expensive.
21% louder.
21% more likely it's just some post to try and get a rise out people.

 

[BRiT]

"XBox" is 21% of the length of "Sony Playstation 5!"

 

[Shortbread]

I believe TF performance will be negligible between the next-generations of systems, but I have this feeling memory bandwidth and storage performance will favor PS5.

 

[megre]

It looks like a variation of the older pastebin with added recent rumors.

That 1GB L4 cache... Is that even possible?

HBM?

 

[Shifty Geezer]

21% more expensive.
21% louder.
21% more likely it's just some post to try and get a rise out people.

Why's it not "PS5 is 21% the power of Scarlett?"

...

It's like living in the frickin' dark ages at the moment. People are cutting up fish and reading the future in the shape of their entrails. These aren't even 'baseless rumours' but totally unexplained numbers and sounds and people are trying to read stuff into it. Why?? Why not just ignore the "21%" and "hmm" tweets as being completely and utterly useless and not worth discussing?

"XBox" is 21% of the length of "Sony Playstation 5!"

It's closer to 33% actually. Do you consider the space in your numbers?
