Klee seemed to me like compulsive liar or just an attention whore. He didn't break a single thing, he was probably most vague of all insiders there. Believing Klee is to lack critical thinking.
Things I have heard that "prove" Klee has inside info...
Klee was the one that said both consoles are >10TF
No, no he wasn't. Half a year earlier it was Jason from Kotaku who said information he got is both MS and Sony are shooting above Stadia's 10.7TF. Klee ran with it.
Klee said XSX is 12TF RDNA
This one is funny for two things actually... 1st, because back in August he wrote this...
Kleegamefan :
I'm just saying compared to GCN, the RDNA architecture is much more efficient per clock but the downside is it yields lower TF numbers.
People will inevitably look at the final numbers and say "well it's not THAT much better than an Xbox One X" and I'm saying that is the wrong way to look at the TF numbers.
...2nd, because he said 12TF
AFTER TGA and after Tom Warren confirmed on Resetera that its actually 12TF RDNA.
Klee was wrong about Lockhart, but so were MS insiders
MS insiders are feed all types of rumors from MS camp, and they might have been purposely mislead. Fact is, they were
first to report of Lockhart existance,
first one to report its cancelled and
first one to report its back. What Klee has done is just ran with "Lockhart does not exist" until MS insiders actually said "Its still coming actually".
As cherry on top, after TGA someone asked hmgqq (alleged MS insider, I believe he knows nothing) if Dante dev kit matches with Anaconda specs that have been floating even at B3D. Basically, 64CUs/1450MHz. He said "Yes", to which Klee replied "bingo".
Thing is, they don't match. From leaked Github document we know its actually 56CUs that are active, and we also know that no one sane would run Navi chip at 1450MHz when that is good ~300MHz under Navi 1.0 sweetspot. That would be essentially a waste of silicon, which we understand here, but some of these insiders and people who are looking to feed their bias don't.
Fact of a matter is, Klee went missing when Github documents leaked. They were by far best info we have on next gen consoles. They might be old, might be incomplete, but they are legit, and he knew it. So, once this surfaced he went missing. Said he is in Alaska working night shifts, but he was there on forum every day, just not replying. In the end, before his ban request, he said "I am verified, but my information is not", which tells you all you need to know really.
He was a guy working in industry back in 90's and most likely wanted to get back into it with his YT thing, and if his vague predictions were to materialize, he would have headstart as "legit insider" from Resetera. They didn't pan out, now we are waiting if "February PS meeting" will happen. History says, even if you have 0 insider info, its a very good chance it will happen. Why? Because if console gets out in October or November, that means meeting cannot be in these two months, nor it can be in December. So we are left with 9 months out of 12. January? Nope, too fast. Months after E3? No chance, its too close to release and what would they actually do at E3 if not show PS5? That leaves Feb/March/April/May. May is too close to E3, so that leaves us with 3 months...Since PS4 conference was in February, I would say Klee took his chances as there is probably >50% chance its actually February.
If its not February, its another missed prediction from him...If it is February, people will say "Klee was right!" without even thinking about it.
