The world we living at. They will do anything to get the corporal gains. I hope steam actually releases those home consoles they leaked on. I would rather get steam home console than trash home console that's locked to one thing and completely draining it's customers with the worst "deals" ever.
Here’s a direct percentage comparison of your provided specs (which seem to match a hypothetical or upcoming next-gen PS6-level system) versus both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro:
CPU (Cores & Architecture) Your Spec: 8× Zen 6 (or later)
PS5 & PS5 Pro: 8× Zen 2, up to 3.5-3.85GHz
Improvement:
Zen 6 is at least two generations newer than Zen 2 (PS5/PS5 Pro).
Core count is equal, but raw IPC and efficiency uplift per core is expected to be 30–50% or more over Zen 2 (by AMD’s typical generational gains).
Percent better (typical gen-on-gen): 80–100% higher multi-core throughput compared to Zen 2, depending on clock and tuning.
GPU (Compute Units & Architecture) Your Spec: 40–48+ RDNA 5 CUs @ 3GHz+
PS5: 36 RDNA 2 CUs @ 2.23GHz (10.3 TFLOPS)
PS5 Pro: 60 RDNA 3 CUs @ ~2.35GHz (16.7 TFLOPS)
Percent better:
CU count:
vs PS5: +11% to +33% (40–48 CUs vs 36 CUs)
vs PS5 Pro: –20% to –33% (if only 40–48 CUs vs 60 CUs), but...
However, RDNA 5 is expected to be at least two architectural jumps newer, with higher per-CU performance and clock speed.
Clock speed: +35% over PS5, +28% over PS5 Pro.
Absolute rasterization/compute performance claims: Your spec says “3× PS5 raster,” which would be:
vs PS5: +200% (i.e., 3× as powerful)
vs PS5 Pro: ~+80% higher (since PS5 Pro is about 1.67× PS5)
Ray Tracing: Claimed “higher than 3× PS5” — so at least 200–300% more capable than PS5; likely 70–100% better than PS5 Pro, given RDNA 5 upgrades.
Power Consumption (Total Board Power) Your Spec: 160W TBP
PS5 & PS5 Pro: Typical system wattage is 300–350W
Percent better: Much more efficient per performance. Despite similar or lower power draw, 2–3× the performance.
Memory (Bus & Speed) Your Spec: 160–192-bit bus, GDDR7 at 32GT/s+
PS5: 256-bit GDDR6, 448GB/s
PS5 Pro: 256-bit GDDR6, 576GB/s
Bandwidth:
If 160-bit @ 32GT/s: (160/8) × 32 = 640GB/s
If 192-bit @ 32GT/s: (192/8) × 32 = 768GB/s
vs PS5: +43–71% bandwidth
vs PS5 Pro: +11–33% bandwidth
Architecture and Technology Your Spec: Chiplet design, much newer architecture (Zen 6, RDNA 5).
PS5/Pro: Monolithic SoC, Zen 2, RDNA 2/3.
Percent better: Chiplet design enhances yield, efficiency, and enables more advanced/flexible hardware, not quantifiable in pure % but a generational leap.
I also had insane struggle with seeing enemies on battlefield 5. It was something unreal how hard it was to spot still enemies. I didn't play much bf2042 because it just didn't click with me at all..weakest battlefield in years. This one looks very very promising and I actually can't wait. Hopefully, and I know they will, they will bring back metro, locker, goldmuid railway and Shanghai maps back..
Seems like it's going to have a campaign that's also going to be like bf3-bf4 which to me are the best BF campaigns ever. Hopefully the trailer is as good as the game will be.
After a long debate I finally signed it. And so my friend. It would be good to cross well over a million because I'm sure there will be many invalidated signatures
The reason why I don't see this game as a rocket league competitor is just because it's a scripted game, rather than having a ball on a field with free physics interact by a push from a player and you have a full control of what's going to happen on the pitch. The rematch is just a canned animations with lots of assistance. It's still fun on its own, but no other game like rocket league.
@get2sammyb of course, I can't expect content the size like arena wars or doomsday heist anymore, since barely anyone is even working on GTA online now, but it's really nothing special. But again, it's been 13 years I have been playing it so excitements aren't there anymore. I still remember the very first beach update and it literally brought like a broken bottle and one van and like 50 cosmetics and oh boy it was exciting.
Idk, I feel like ps premium is not a good deal and ps extra is where it's at really.
I'm on premium since the revamp, but actually thinking to downgrade to mid tier once my sub finishes. I think it's either this year or next year that my PSN ends.
It's not an actual Xbox device. It's a partnership between Asus and Xbox, which benefits windows users as there is now hope for a debloated version of windows 11. Also the better grip for hands and better ergonomics are always welcome on a handheld. Other than that, it's ROG Ally 2 sponsored by Microsoft.
It seems the game runs very poorly on the PS5 and even PS5 pro. So heads up to everyone.
Especially the flickering, asset draw in, the framerates can dip to as low as 15 fps. I have also seen NPCs being phased out of their positions every time scene changes, then they magically slide back into it. But most annoying is the assets flickering on each scene change. It's like it needs more time to load it in, than given.
Ps5 pro needs the patch so we can have ray tracing on with 60fps, otherwise the 30fps mode is so inconsistent and faulty that it is atrocious to look at
Edit..not to mention their latest footage of review that they posted on playstation channel is actually captured on pc on highest settings and 60 FPS, while I'm certain the ps5 version won't be 60 FPS smooth ride.
They hiked the prices to get them back to what it was on the days of play. Making them cost exactly the same as the launch day 5 years ago. However, since there are now many more actual proper this gen games out there I guess I will agree with that there isn't a better time to jump in.
Funny how almost half of the links above that actually are on sale is in fact more expensive than they were a week ago. First I thought it was an error, but going to the respected sites it is in fact price gauge.
