Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Did anyone REALLY think that this would not be the case? Quote Posted on 4chan's /v/ gaming board, the anonymous leaker posts what they claim to be specifications from the second, revised development kits, which means if true, these specs won't be too far off the finished product.

Brian Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Calling it now, both consoles will launch at the same price but Sony will instead boost the cpu 0.1 to claim the most powerful console crown after Microsoft’s spec release.

DarkStar189 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I know the specs will be fine. At this point I just want Sony to show the damn thing so we can see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two things easiest and most likely to change are hard drives and memory. With the size of next gen games and the importance of fast load times I don't see how either side could go with 500 GB. It will be hard for someone to just plug in a USB HD to the system and get the same incredible load times - and the cost to add more space at that speed would be large (at least at the start of the gen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 PS5 looks like it has a slight advantage. Get ready for $500 consoles next gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It will be interesting to see if they can even get manufacturing geared up to release these two consoles before Christmas. Apple has already said they are having manufacturing issues related to Corona virus and I would expect things to get worse before they get better.

crispy4000 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Is 5.5GB/S a "raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs” ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 With the price of SSDs, I can't see a console getting more than ~500GB in the box at launch (upgradeable, of course) -- rumours have MS having a standard CFExpress port. 24 minutes ago, crispy4000 said: Is 5.5GB/S a "raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs” ? It is ~speed of Samsung's new PCIe 4.0 drive that comes out later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Not shocked if these specs are real. I hear Sony plans to greatly address their cooling/fan noise with PS5; based on these specs, I don't think they have a choice. Disappointed in the stock storage for both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested my 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe at 5GB/s. That seems to be about normal for Gen4 NVMe drives these days. I'm sure the drives set to come out later this year will be a little quicker.

SoberChef Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Why in the hell is the storage 500gB/1TB respectively when games average 50+ gB minimum, with many more nowadays going above 100gB!? We should be getting 2 TB at least. Also, makes you wonder if either company will come with some kind of proprietary HDD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a standard SATA SSD at that size is like $100 at retail and NVMe drives are twice that. That's got to be a sizable chunk of your budget when the aim is to sell a console for less than $500.
