Plus isn't ray tracing pretty much a DXR feature at the moment? Does any other 3D graphics API for gaming support it? It's also quite recent, so Sony could have preferred to go ahead with their own solution in case AMD screwed up.
I guess but I would think that if Sony was working on a custom RT solution and they were aware that AMD was also developing an RT solution they would at least at some point want to know what AMD's solution looked like. If Sony did develop custom RT why not at least see how their solution stacks up against what AMD has available to them. I'm just surprised he doesn't already know the answers to the questions he asking.
I think he does know the answer. It's a rethorical question.
It could be that they were proposed something from AMD but had already been doing their own research and decided to go that route. But I would expect if they decided to go that route they'd be cut off from info from AMD about that product. These decisions would have been made years ago.
Yeah, it smells like a taunt, phrased as a question so it can't be confirmed.
I hope it is a taunt - it'll make next-gen more exciting if the two boxes aren't identical, and I like the sound of his RT features.

He has doubled down on it in more detail. I think it's now 99% certain that they do differ.
Yes I can see that angle as well. Or it sounds like he's questioning whether MS really has true RDNA 2 possibly? This quote makes me wonder if that's the case. "Very curious to see how directly these questions get addressed."Yeah, it smells like a taunt, phrased as a question so it can't be confirmed.

I can't say anything about the devkits. Although I can say something now that Microsoft has officially published the "number". And what I can say is the following:
If XsX is "12TF" then PS5 is not "9.2TF".
Similarly, if PS5 is "9.2TF" then XsX is not "12TF".
My take is that he doesnt know the exact numbers, however he's under the impression that the diffrence is smaller than 3 TF

Sadly, that's a very realistic option.
My take is he is being vague on purpose and hoping that enough will line up with what the actual end products ends up being for him to to gain some "insider cred".
Why would a developer ever put TF in quotes?

His following tweet reads even more like a taunt:Yeah, it smells like a taunt, phrased as a question so it can't be confirmed.

I guess we should consider that the PS5 will be a significantly larger departure from AMD's RDNA2 for PC than the SeriesX.
He's not a dev. He's a retailer afaik.
EDIT: sorry mistook with OsirisBlack. BGs is a vetted VR dev on GAF.
Quotes probably mean it's 12.x or 11.x that was rounded down/up for 12TF, but he can't be more precise.
He quoted 9.2TF, too, though. It's a really weird thing to do if you are at all technical. TF aren't up for interpretation. They are a defined thing.
"What efficiencies get unlocked from the perspective of end-to-end game production for 1P, MMO, and GaaS titles?"
???
The fuck does that even mean? Why is he talking about those 3 kinds of games in particular?
AMD most likely has the better RT solution then Sony does, if it is the case that Sony went with their own. Sony could have started their PS5 development earlier then MS did with their XSX, and went with RDNA1 and their own RT solution. Multiplat games will benefit mostly MS then, with Sony only their first party AAA games. This wouldn't be a good position to be in imo.
That would be absolutely right, as everything points to a 2.8TF differential.
