Jon of RGN writes, "This time around, we are looking at Mark Cerny’s claims of Variable Frequency and a dynamically changing power draw for the CPU / GPU of the PS5 using Proprietary ICs combined with AMD SmartShift."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
People act like "Variable frequency" is a new thing and it isn't. Some modern CPUs have been doing this for a while. It's all dependent on demend, why use full clock if it isn't needed? In the end the user experience is absolutely no different, it just lowers average power consumption by not working harder than it needs to.
I think its a cool idea. It doesnt need to be working at 100% with games that dont ask for that kind of power.
Both consoles will be ok , don't panic on freak out about it , both are well balanced consoles will run games great at least they should if devs are not lazy , just look at Doom 60fps even on OG consoles with tablet CPU.
""On the face of it, PlayStation 5 delivers a ton of power, but there does seem to be an extra onus on developers to optimise to these new characteristics. The question is, what happens when the processor does hit its power limit and components down-clock? In his presentation, Mark Cerny freely admits that CPU and GPU won't always be running at 3.5GHz and 2.23GHz respectively.""

Third party games comparisons between PS5 and XsX will be very, very interesting.
Only few more months to go until we will all find out which design approach is best. Can't wait!
