    What if it's Jaguar to Zen 2 upgrade. Hypothetically speaking.
     
  2. Are you really implying Sony planned for the PS5 to use Jaguar cores?

    Why is there such a dumb rumor as Sony creating Navi for PS5 when Microsoft and AMD are both using it too? Makes no sense. Why do people still believe these "insiders".

    Or this is nonsense rumours layered on top of nonsense rumours. Throw enough shit, some sticks.

    The rumour of a 2019 PS5 stuck in some people's minds. Time enough has passed that it's basis is now lost in a relatively distant mist. So someone who's lonely trots out another rumour that feeds on people's foggy memories and inclination to think "oh yeah, I remember something about that." The purveyor of the rumour gets a little dopamine spike, and they get to feel superior to the people they've fooled.

    You have to admit sony must be happy there's a million rumors across the whole range. If there's a legitimate leak it's lost in the noise.

    Btw if this is Lockhart, then its probably XSX - 20GB GDDR6 , Lockhart 16GB GDDR6 (16/12 for games).

    If this Lockhart, this means.

    3.2GHZ Zen 2 CPU possibly without SMT
    16GB GDDR6 / GDDR5x 320-448GB/s
    6-7TF Navi

    Lockhart has been working out after cancellation.

    Yeah, huge grain of salt.

    Sony were very clever with the PS5 dev kit design, clearly the front 'V' is a slot for the GPU upgrade taking it from 9 to 13TF.

    Wait what!? It dramatically change the lighting which will make everything look more natural and 'real'.

    The RT section of RDNA2 ends up being just a bunch of cell processsors and the ray marchers need to be written in Lua.

    But what font does the Lua editor use? Does it match the PS5 logo?

    Has anyone actually disproven the possibility of Microsoft just moneyhatting extra Tflops from Sony. Like they paid them $1B or something for them to stay at less than 10 Tflops so they could have double-digit Tflop exclusivity for this gen?

    Did Phil Spencer deny this yet?
