They're saying 4x more powerful than Xbox-1X.
That's probably total flops.
SO, we can reasonably assume, ~double the GPU performance.
Current X1X is ~RX480/580 (1050Ti) lvl.
Double that comes out to ~1070Ti / 1080 Which makes sense in the $400 envelope of the machine.
Certainly doooable now that Ati is using 7nm.

Console tech will always be a gen or two behind current PC tech, unless they sell their hardware at a big loss which most companies don't really do anymore. Used to be the standard, Sony took a loss of like $200 per PS2 unit sold initially banking on people buying more software. I believe the only console manufacturer that consistently put out hardware at a black price point is Nintendo.

Nintendo also did the smart thing and not dilute their brand with stupid microtransactions. The reason I gave my five year old a Switch was I didn't want to get nagged for ebucks or something on a daily basis. Once I've bought him a game that's it. Whole idea of buying outfits to customise your character and such is crack cocaine to kids at that age.
Wondering if this will cause them to fix the dumpster fire that is Fallout 76, lol.

Knowing MS they will likely keep them as a mostly autonomous studio, but use their resources to push compatibility and get **** out the door faster. Which means we will see Elder Scrolls games a lot faster (hopefully.) And probably a lot more testing done on the games, one of the things MS actually does well, which for Bethesda is a good thing.

If Tp4 had the Real Money Auction House from Diabro 3 during Diabro 2, Would've went bankrupt.
The only smart company right now imo is Nintendo. They are the only ones protecting their ip's and assets with a hardware barrier. MS and Sony are not only just running PC hardware and software now, but both companies are making strides to ensure full library xpat between their system and Windows. MS is already doing it, I own a few XBO titles I play on PC without owning an XBO, and Sony has recently announced their intentions of making similar changes including cross platform play with Xbox and PC players.
Only Nintendo is keeping their games on only their systems, and largely in a proprietary physical format. MS and Sony have become too similar, they are essentially offering the same experience. And personally if I have a choice between playing the same game on a console or on my PC I will choose my rig every time.
Better exclusives, lol
The reason they're using Liquid metal on the PS5 is to catchup to Xbx's faster system. They' running insane clocks on PS5.they both use pretty much the same apu so if one is faster it is likely because of better frequencies and thermals, and do we know that the xbox does not also run liquid metal/soldered die?
What MSFT aught to do, is use Liquid Metal on Xbx, and be like, br0, what else you got.

Guess SONY had the good contact at Thermal Grizzly to ensure their Liquid Metal needs ;)
i am not sure that thermal grizzly just buys and flip, it is not because liquid metal formulations exists since the dawn of metal working (pure mercury and gallium are liquid at room or warm room temperature) that they just use those, there is space to innovate and try to find the best allow for thermal conduction, ease of use and safety for the end user, those 2 last one i do not think sony had as much interest in as the end user should not be applying it, so my guess is that sony just got their own formulation for what they needed, <speculation> they could even be using straight up gallium, it does have a much better thermal conductivity than galinstan (liquid metal) (at least from what Wikipedia says) but need slightly warmer temperature to be liquid (30°C) so will be harder to apply on your cpu at home but easy enough for a robot at the factory, and while the console runs the cpu will melt it quite quickly. </speculation>Guess SONY had the good contact at Thermal Grizzly to ensure their Liquid Metal needs ;)
Thermal grizzly just buys and flips liquid metal, formula's been known for a long time.
Given this process going in play though, PS5 PRO could be pretty crazy specced. It will come out on the 5nm tsmc process, which alone means 15% improved performance 30% less power consumption. Add that to driver refinements, developer tweaks, maybe a further bump in clocks or ROPs, they can likely deliver 50% improved performance in the same dissipation..
