With neural compression you can mitigate that. I think they'll go with a smaller bus, otherwise it's gonna be a $1000 console.

Methinks the next consoles will use a 192bit bus with 4GB GDDR7 modules, reaching an overall 24GB RAM. A 256-bit Bus/32GB VRAM combo I think would explode prices.

They have been doing so the past ~10 years. Try to keep up.

As always, Nvidia remains the trendsetter and is a whole generation ahead, and AMD follows. So does Microsoft now, basically just collecting and formalizing Nvidia inventions into DirectX, rather than defining them.

A PS6 base model for $400 should be about as fast as a PS5 Pro that's currently selling for nearly twice as much.

I just read the whole thing, and apparently, Neural Shaders are a Blackwell exclusive. Hmm.

HUB is increasingly getting more passive-aggressive with its messaging. Maybe because it becomes increasingly more untenable to defend AMD/Intel as a noble, underrated underdog.

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-rtx-neural-rendering-introduces-next-era-of-ai-powered-graphics-innovation/ To be clear, will RTX Neural Shaders be a RTX 50 series exclusive or not? Because that whole texture compression stuff alone already sounds upgrade-worthy.

HUB are dilettantes.

Nvidia invented everything.

After Blue Eye Samurai and Shogun, I'm very much in the mood for more feudal Japan.

Define "cinematic element" when the whole thing becomes it.

Sony makes spectacle that wants to imitate film. From and Nintendo make actual games.

Pretty sure Sony will stick with AMD due to RDNA backward compatibility. MS otoh has more flexibility with its DX12 API.
