Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

So, I just had a random thought about this. If SFS allows you to stream in textures at a per mip level and a perhaps only needing to load part of the texture, and because of the way memory works (pages connected to channels), might the difference between fast and slow memory be essentially the same? For example, if the texture you are streaming in is only 4 pages, assuming those pages are accessed by different channels, there would be no speed difference between the slow and fast areas in memory because you are only using 4/10 of the memory channels anyway.

Pages could be striped across multiple channels at a smaller granularity than a virtual memory page. OpenCL optimizations for some GCN GPUs indicated a kernel should align its data assuming 256 bytes per channel.
Even if SFS does save the bandwidth from a given texture, if it's at least several KB it would be able to span enough channels where it would make a difference. Even if the accesses for a given slice of the texture happened to access only a handful of channels, it's one resource access out of likely hundreds. The global behavior of all accesses would average out the behavior of specific accesses.

Everybody: hey Sony where’s the price?

Literally everybody: Hey Sony! Release date? Please?

Every soul in the universe: Sony! Any news?



Sony: Here, play with food.

Pegi 16.
That is some dirty content alright.

Could be fun with the new controller though.

PS5 has BT 5.1, Wifi 6 2x2 MIMO.

So now your PS5 can be a little more portable ...

Naw, bruh...

hehe, play with your food. Was this not a Dreams concoction? I seem to remember someone in Dreams doing something similar.

WiFi 6 is presumably there for wireless headset support as much as anything.

I thought that would be using BlueTooth.

Sorry, meant VR headset. 802.11 AX should be low latency enough to stream if they go wireless with PSVR2.

No 60GHz in the test report. So that part will be a separate breakout box as PSVR needed one. Many of Sony’s patents specifically call out 60GHz for the primary data link.

So could you possibly have a 5.1 surround sound with 6 bluetooth speakers connected to PS5.
I just bought a pair of BT headphones and noticed PS4 does not support BT audio, so I'd be happy just with PS5 finally adding support.

So at a comparable time before a console release, like late August of launch years, did we know the price and release dates?

Sony gonna Sega Saturn us.

Sony gonna Sega Saturn us.

Meaning release first in Japan, then 6 months later in US and then 2 months after that in Europe?

It’s already out in Korea.

I... I like this fake ad.

 

[Rurouni]

It was originally a paid promotion for PS4pro that has been edited to PS5.

Headphones/sets will work the same way as they do with PS4. That's why the official headset is still using a dongle.
