General Next Generation Rumors and Discussions [Post GDC 2020]

I wouldn't think from that rendering that you could fit a large SOC in that setup without drilling many holes through it. The cross-section area the pillars have various levels have is also very small for any components with significant power consumption, and then they all span a notable distance before reaching a similarly modest heatsink. I suppose it is meant to look pretty rather than provide a concept matching how some expect a 100-200W SOC to be cooled?

Rumor PS5 reveal the 4th June
Rumor PS5 reveal the 4th June
nice right around E3. Right around my birthday. Doesn't look like i can hold that E3 viewing party this year though.
Console design, games, release date, price....
I suppose they will give price and release date the 4th of june.
I'd like to see a poll on that. I wouldn't expect price announcements for either Sony or Microsoft until late August when Gamescom has their digital event.

Depends on the ongoing game of chicken between MS and Sony. They each want the other to announce first to decide if they can break even or sell at a loss for competitive reason. They don't change the price after it was announced.
If one announce at 499 first the other have the opportunity to match it and not lose money, or go agressive with a lower price.
If one announce at 399 first, the other have the opportunity to either match it, or go 449 as a compromise to make it as close as possible without losing as much money (if they initially had 499 in mind).
If one announce 449 first, the other can go anywhere between 399 and 499 depending on how much they accept to lose money at launch, or how confident they are about their specific advantages.
But I can only see 449 or 499 as realistic possibilities anyway. 549 would be a ridiculous price, and 399 would be a massive loss on MS side (machined cast alu frame, big SoC, vapor chamber), and also quite a big loss on Sony's side depending on their target wattage and cooling solution. Neither have shown any willingness to lose more than about $50 per unit since the PS360 era.
(I predict that cast alu frame will disappear quickly, in favor of stamped sheet, as a silent revision)
You can make your own polls, ya know.
Yah, Elan Ruskin is highly respected and that is one of the more popular talks of the last while from a game development standpoint.
Who cares about that ? I want to see the innards of that Frankenstein.
You can make your own polls, ya know.
Yeah, but you are clearly much better at it than I ever could be.

while you weren't looking we voted and made you the official poll maker

Some news from TSMC
Arden production is on fire. The amount being produced is not less than the entire launch month of Navi 10 last year.
At the same time Oberon has disappeared. Maybe Sony is scared?
Sparkman starts trial production. This chip is a mystery. I still do not know if it's a Microsoft SOC.

Arden is XBOX and Oberon is the PS5 codename right?
"Sony is so frightened they wet their pants."
Yes, that's how mass production scheduling works.
