I think you are right about what happened at launch, and Sony supposedly said they were good with the lower yields if they got a more competitive chip late in the game. Then Covid + mining, of course. Given how it was a drop in replacement for the PS4 who knows how it might have done without...
Sure, that makes sense.
Put me down as someone who doesn't care if the chassis is a little bigger. I have a launch unit that is silent except for disk grinding the first time I load a game, which is so nice. I don't miss the howling fans of yesteryear.
I also understand that smaller chassis...
Somewhat back on topic, it will be interesting to me at least if the PS5 Pro with the shiny new GPU can slot in at or below the power and cooling envelope that the launch PS5 had.
I am making some assumptions, but we are moving from 7nm TSMC to… 5nm TSMC? I know the PS5 made an intermediate...
I think these charts are interesting:

PS5 has been eerily on pace with the PS4 over its lifetime. I am not sure if that is exciting or not, but it puts it on pace for selling 100M+ in its lifetime. The graph...
I trust Sony will have a way to squeeze everything out of this but isn’t the lack of symmetry in this type of hardware a little odd? Is there a purpose to this that’s obvious to those in the know?
It's all about the backwards compat. If it comes out and it's not, I'll buy a Switch OLED for the long haul. If it is, I'll buy as close to launch as possible and hope that some of my games that remain unplayed because of my perceived performance issues (Astral Chain) will get some sort of FPS...
And at this point in its lifecycle and there being strong rumors that Switch 2 has backwards compatibility? Line up for a launch of next gen switch and enjoy it for 5-7 years :)
My $.02 is that I liked MSI for their super simple warranty.
Do you have a receipt? Warranty starts when you bought it.
No receipt? Warranty starts when card was card was born.
Whoever holds the receipt and the card holds the warranty. Registration, transference, etc. all NBD, not...
That would make sense, but it doesn't look that is corroborated by anything outside some forum posts in Chinese.
Certainly the 6700xt and 6600 vanilla seem to have stuck around quite awhile, its possible that as N7 prices came down and RNDA3 didn't play out quite as expected they decided to...
RT is really low overhead in Doom Eternal in my experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how well my 6800 did, although the implementation is pretty minimal.
I don’t think he is saying that at all.
It’s the now dead RDNA4 parts that were slated for GDDR7 all along, but the memory controller design was unified across the line. I think that’s what the point is.
If RDNA5 is really 2026 a bump in mid '25 with GRDD7 would be... something at least. Not saying that proves anything, but for a SKU to last ~3 years and to bridge memory technologies during that time, it at least is plausible from a strategy standpoint.
