Supposedly all their media was put onto a Microsoft site that was publicly accessible if you knew where to look kast Monday, thats how the Lockhart details and video got out early. This was probably there too.

Yeah, watching it now. I don't see how they expected people to watch all of this. I think we got a better launch. It was a surprise. It wasn't boring. But absolutely fucking sucks that MS couldn't execute properly & keep it from leaking. They should be accountable just as those that leaked it.

You can tell it was for the press more than the general public by the probable diversity quota.

PS5 has more L2 cache by CU (compared to XSX) which should alleviate main ram bandwidth uses.
That's between L1 <-> L2 though. Ultimately, the results pushed out from L2 have to interact with the external bandwidth.
At the end of the day, they're both ballpark (or even smaller range) for the ratio. They're both bad compared to PS4.
Confirmed...
What if they leaked it to save journalists from having to watch it? LOL

Is there any new information in those videos?
I'm offended by my own offense of people who might be offended by the potentially offensive nature of a non-intentionally offensive press piece.
If MS wanted to truly keep anything secret, they wouldn't have previewed Lockhart back in spring to a select set of journalists like Digital Foundry.

Wish someone had warned me first. I don't have the polite company vocabulary (well..at least not without more thought than I am willing to put forth) to describe just how much I hate the faux interview format. Makes it feel even more like someone is blowing smoke where the sun don't shine.

I find it odd that their focus during the Series S video was on 120hz gaming. The device is for people on a budget, it's unlikely that many people buying this will have a TV that's HDMI 2.1 compliant.
Series S and a 4k@120hz TV seem contradictory to me?

MS have purposefully leaked it gradually with more and more information about it (the last info being the worst bits obviously: the memory speed, size and not BC with XBX), in order to prepare the consumers to such a weak next gen machine. It mostly worked.
As many outlets and forumers having theorized that next gen games could easily scale down with 4TF, Zen 2 CPU and SSD (which is perfectly right), this created a good narrative for MS's machine. Well until the last bits of info where some are now realizing (including some devs) that it won't be as easy as expected because of the memory size but the damage was partially controlled by the previous narrative.

This is what Liz Hamren, Head of Platform Engineering & Hardware, said in part 2 above...

Cost would still prevent it from happening - a fully HDMI 2.1 compliant TV costs ~5x the price of the console. A Series S *alone* does not allow for "next gen" frame rates.
There are going to be people buying the console expecting 120hz on their 1080p TV that won't be getting it. I'd hazard a guess that the promise of 1440p will also likely not be met the majority of the time.
Just because it's technically feasible that these things can happen doesn't mean that they will. Strikes me as misleading for those that don't know better.

I've owned all Xbox consoles except the third one (exactly the same for PlayStation).

You don't need HDMI 2.1 for 1080p @120 Hz. HDMI 1.3 can do 1080p @120 Hz as well as 2560x1440p @60 Hz. HDMI 2.0 can do 2560x1440p @120 Hz although not all TV manufacturer's support that resolution. XBSS has a max target of 2560x1440p @60 Hz, so any TV from the past 10-14 years that has support for 120 Hz should be fine.

I was wondering why MS didn't just go for a digital version of the Series X. That way they could have avoided all this talk about how well the Series S will theoretically perform. But at $299, I guess you can't really complain. Well, I guess you could... but it's clearly a move by MS to get people into the gamepass ecosystem by giving consumers a cheap entry point.
