Extraordinary PlayStation 5 details leaked: 7nm Ryzen CPU, 7nm Navi GPU, 14 teraflops of performance

[Redaktion]

Alleged details of the PlayStation 5 console have been posted online. The incredible claimed specifications include 8K upscaling, 2 TB storage utilizing NAND, 24 GB GDDR6 RAM, VR, ray tracing, backwards compatibility and more. There's also mention of the widely believed custom AMD Ryzen CPU and the Navi GPU – that apparently offers 14 teraflops of compute performance.

Has got a bluray drive 4K?

Wow, 24gb of GDDR6 VRAM is totally, stupidly overkill for a console. Even the rtx 2080 ti doesnt have that much of vram, and they want to put all that memory into a small and compact console gpu powered with a significantly lower power supply than a gaming desktop?

If this is true, my gaming laptop will be going in the bin.

It's not overkill because amd and nvidia are different and ps4 already have 8GB of vram compared to my GTX 960 2GB of vram

Mark my words, PS5 is gonna have 16gb GDDR6 as shared memory between cpu and gpu. Anything more than that is absolutely unnecessary and will increase the cost a lot.

I am a bit doubtful about the cpu being 8 core 16 thread. I think 8 core 8 thread will be more realistic as games usually run faster with hyper threading disabled. And it will allow ps4 devs to jump to ps5 easily.

Though I agree on the gpu being 14 teraflops power. It has to if Sony really wants 4k 60 fps in every game.

Talking about the camera for VR.
If they use a camera for tracking on PSVR 2, it will be an instant fail. No one in their right mind will but another camera based tracking system, especially existing PSVR owners.
If the new PSVR is not inside out tracking, no one will buy it. That is a guarantee!

My server, core i5 4700, with 2x RTX2080 and 1x RTX2060 for CUDA, already runs at double the Tflops;
And my $250 mini ITX pc, equipped with 2x RTX2070s runs at +20 Tflops.

Seems like the ps5 is already outdated, before it even got released!

Add 2x RTX2060 to any $250 PC, and you get 15tflops.

24GB of GDDR6 cost by itself from suppliers even bought at enormous volume would be at least $200 for 2020. Current prices more. By itself. Then claimed that whole machine, the expensive processors and storage plus assembly only costs $600. Nope! Fake specs. Cost is one of the reasons $1100 video cards only have 11GB of GDDR6!

[The doubter]

Why would an engineer / tripple A game dev have access to Sonys marketing plan (the cost)?

Those details are usually decided near launch and not shared with 3rd party developers.

Calls in to doubt the whole "leak".

Insideout 6dof controller tracking is notoriously bad. Camera makes a lot of sense to reduce occlusion.

This is fake... for a few reasons, but two big ones, DDR6 doesn't exist as RAM, it's only for GPU memory, and 24GB RAM doesn't make sense either, no game is going to use even half that.

[E-Dawg]

What article were you reading?

It's doesn't say DDR6....  It says 24GB of GDDR6 and the 4GB DDR4 (os)

Most of the ram is done to increase RAM speed and decrease latency. It makes more sense to have 6 ram blocks of 4 GB work in parallel, than invest money into having 4 blocks operate at similar speeds.
