Baseless Next Generation Rumors with no Technical Merits [post E3 2019, pre GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

8 cores 16 threads 3.5 Ghz GPU, Navi 12 Tflops and 16 GB GDDR6, custom SSD no GB/s gave rumor for Anaconda- 4Tflops but CPU nearly as powerful for Lockhart.

I expected 16GB and I am disappointed...

Where is this talk about the Lockhart CPU being half sized coming from? Tom Warren just said it was downclocked.

I think he or Jason Schreier also stated, half the ram as well. So maybe 8GB-12GB of GDDR6 for Lockhart.

Cell was hampered by making up for RSX shortcomings. Cell is still praised to this day https://www.tweaktown.com/news/6916...ll-cpu-far-stronger-new-intel-cpus/index.html

Cell is faster then even a i9 9900k in certain tasks. In 99% of the other times a new intel will beat the Cell found in PS3. The cell was a flop for a reason. A quad core from it's time (2006) was a much better CPU for gaming already back then. Let alone 1000 dollar Intel chips of today.
The Cell was basically a CPU with 'GPU cores', abit like the emotion engine perhaps, so directly comparing it to a CPU is also abit wrong, it was quite fast for folding@home, but a X1900 was multiple times faster then that.

I was hoping the OS would run out of DDR4 pool and games would get all 16GB.

Anaconda is targeting around 12 teraflops

So not quite there yet. Anything over 11TF for a console is quite impressive though.

From a few weeks before... Passed this and wrote it off because it was a bit out there.

Insane! Photorealism confirmed :O

Err

1. Anaconda targets were boosted from 10TF to 12TF in late 2018. Third party developers only have the outdated specs as of the time this Pastebin was written.
2. 
   
3. For comparison, Oberon devkits are 10.24 TF at the time of this writing.

So the leak is from first party Microsoft that somehow has detailed PS5 devkit knowledge?

Why do you think this leak is from first party?

If we start believing in Pastebin leaks now, then PS5 has been rumored to be >12TF for quite some time. In other words, it’s all bullshit at the moment.

Yep. We'll have to wait for the reveal

Microsoft's 2013 Xbox conference was in May

Microsoft revealed tech info on Scorpio on April 12, 2017 via Digital Foundry.

We could see something earlier as both companies are launching in 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if both announced details around Game Developer Conference in March 16-20.

Also, isn't the official or latest PS5 SDKs called Prospero per Jason Schreier?

Edit: Per orichalcos at Era (verified game journalist).

"Microsoft is gearing up to reveal Xbox "Scarlett" in full in the near future"

Very near future.

 

[BetaGames]

If Jason’s sources are to be believed, that would imply both Sony and Microsoft are pushing the envelope in regards to pricing next gen. 2080 performance? That’s an 11 teraflop card listed for $700 give or take. Of course it isn’t a like-for-like comparison regarding console SoC pricing vs full-fledged pc parts but one can guesstimate either AMD is being extremely generous(highly doubtful), both corporations are doing a loss leader approach(doubtful), or these consoles will be priced higher than current gen(definitely believable).

Interesting if they can pull this bit off:

and the inclusion of Project XCloud across all Xbox systems will allow you to start gaming via streaming while waiting for games to download locally.​

Why do you think this leak is from first party?

The leak says third party Devs only have outdated specs, only place a leak with the new specs can therefore come from is first party?

The leak then has PS5 specs

I don't think thoes two possibilities are in any way likely, and anyone who would have that info on their competitor would be senior enough to keep their mouth well shut.

My distrust of Patebin went from the usual high levels to critical alert instantly.

A stuck clock is correct twice a day so no doubt something from paste bin will be held up as truth but I remain skeptical on all posts so far.

.

Or AMD. Or some middleware provider working with both sets of the latest hardware.
