how are they going to hit 30GB of GDDR7 with only 4GB modules on a 160 bit bus

Clamshell 3GB

So... 1600 US Dollars?

[squallbr]

the bandwitch is low

 

[nial]

I don't think this is attention worthy, that was not a leak or anything...

 

[Bojji]

So... 1600 US Dollars?

I expect it in 700-900$ range. And depending if it's 2027 or 2028 release date.

Maybe even 599$ if the are prepared to lose a good chunk of money on every unit for 1-2 years.

the bandwitch is low

RDNA5 will use that bandwidth more efficiently.

 

[Chittagong]

Would be fucking amazing. Was just today thinking how nice Nioh onboard a flight would be. I would buy both the handheld and home console - but sync needs to be rock solid robust

This was from an old thread here months ago.

$399 sounds quite attainable.

So but, the lazy devs and a cancer UE5

For handheld? And even that thing will have much more memory and will be much more powerful than NSW2.

 

[tusharngf]

day 1 ...

 

[Fabieter]

I still doubt its coming 2027 or maybe its a paper launch idk.

I heard a rumour (Think it was a MLID video) that Sony are going for affordability, but that was before the RAM crisis.

I agree with you. 599 might be the sweet spot where it doesn't scare off consumers and Sony are able to eat the costs for a year or two.

 

[popeutlal]

How big is the battery in this thing? That is a lot of ram that needs to be powered up.

 

[videogamedude]

will the handheld have physical media, or do you need both for that?

 

[Loomy]

100% guaranteed to not have physical media.

Same.

A handheld that allowed me to download games from my PS library and play them wherever I want...........day 1 without question.

Sales of the portal have been better than expected, and that isn't a native handheld. I think a PS6 proper handheld would do PS2 numbers.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Wonder if Sony will up the cache as they did (I think) on PS5 Pro.

 

[bitbydeath]

30GB sounds like it should provide a pretty good jump.

 

[rm082e]

See you holiday of 2030.

 

[Ramiro_Rodriguez]

And Canis is capable of to run PS6 games or mostly PS5 games/PS6 games on PS5 niveau?

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Yesterday.

What I am saying is we have seen that before on this website.

30gb for ps6 and 24gb for portable
those ram numbers are for the dev kits right?

[Ramiro_Rodriguez]

Dunno. The PS5 has doubled the RAM compared to the PS4 and the games are mostly just a bit better looking PS4 games.

Games aren't going to get that much better looking

 

[OverHeat]

30 GB for the whole system my GPU alone as more then that…

 

[Bojji]

Your GPU, yes. But 99% of GPUs have less than that.

 

[lh032]

How much is your gpu? How much is your whole pc, Mr PC master race?

 

[Mr Moose]

OP GAF > Internet > GAF-ing us.

 

[bitbydeath]

And now games can be made to make use of it.

 

[OverHeat]

for the PC about 7000$ with taxes

 

[bitbydeath]

True, but I do blame the doubling of FPS and use of Ray-Tracing for why we didn't get a huge jump this gen.

 

[OverHeat]

And now games can be made to make use of it.

Just bump the resolution up and I already make use of it

 

[Memati187]

Sonys output this gen sucks and yet my stupid ass bought base and pro. Will buy this crap too, can't help it.

 

[envyzeal]

I'll have two

I think they're going for a PS3 styled finish with lots of games over the next two years.

And I am the president of the moon!!!

It'll be faster and more efficient than what you'll have in your entire system by the time it comes out.

 

[lh032]

I think ps6 is going to last at least 10 years, people just not upgrading as often now, and the technological leap gap is shorter and shorter, games should run well in the long run now

 

[Kilau]

for the PC about 7000$ with taxes

Time for the 64GB RTX cards already, can't let these console plebs get within spitting distance.

 

[Bojji]

PS6 is rumored to be around 9070XT in power (raster) so how it will be faster than 5090?

 

[onQ123]

the bandwitch is low

Not a problem

 

[StereoVsn]

I wonder how much the handheld will run considering current component and wafer pricing.

I can't see them selling it for over $700 or so but that would seem "too cheap" in the current market unless Sony is willing to lose some $$.

They will, they did with PS3 in order to have a relatively affordable product and they're in a position of having several revenue streams to subsidize it, none of which existed back in 2006.
