"Most of the components for the console have been locked down, the people said"
That effectively shuts down the Microsoft FUD that the PS5 was a 9.2 GPU where Sony scrambled at the last minute to up the clocks "to compete."
These things are locked in well in advance
You cant just up the clocks that much at the last second. It doesn't work like that. It would throw design and cooling solution off
It all has to be designed for well in advance to work in tandum
This article is several months old, which shows you the high clock speeds, with the advanced cooling solution, were already locked down and being done well in advance
PS5 GPU was always 10.3tflops with high clock speeds
But tflops arent all that important.
If you listened to what Cerny said, theres a reason why they went with such a high clock speed. It becomes obvious there was always a clear gameplan there. Theres a purpose to high clock speeds.
And its only variable to prevent loud noises or heating (which many have complained about with PS4 and PS4 pro. Notice how Cerny directly addressed that)
Mark Cerny is a modern day fucking genius of unheard of proportion
The full scope of what Cerny has actually accomplished wont be appreciated until you see it in action
But theres a reason why developers are calling the PS5 the greatest and most exciting hardware in 20 years
Theres a reason why developers are calling the PS5 the most innovative, forward-thinking, most revolutionary built gaming console ever created that they have ever seen
The tempest engine
The gemortry engine
The SSD
All cutting edge stuff leagues above any competitors
Plus there are many features that still haven't been disclosed yet which offer more advantages over the xbox1x
The PS5 is an insanely revolutionary console. Its much more forward thinking, much better designed, and much more balanced then the xbox1x
This is why people were telling you NOT to put so much stock into such a meaningless metric as tflops. Tflops is just a meaningless number that's used as fanboy marketing for microsoft. Dont fall for that narrative or FUD. Listen to what developers are actually saying
You can take this to the bank, the PS5 will be outperforming the xbox1x silly in real world benchmarks and performance.
The PS5 is truly a modern day marvel of engineering, design, and performance. Cerny is something else
I think Sony can leverage some of their power to get some better manufacturing deals.
A 400$ PS5 would be the absolute fucking deal of the century. I think that's what it will be. Just listen to Sony's messaging. They are very proce conscious. PS5 will repeat PS4 domination
If things don't work out as planned I can see PS5 at 425$ or 450$. Price is very important to Sony. They WILL 100% come in cheaper then xbox1x no matter what (while being the actual more powerful console in actual real world performance)
