Septic hasn't posted on this site for around 90 days, your profile was created 35 days ago.
I appreciate that Septic has a certain level of "infamy" on N4G but I'm amazed that news of his involvement with another site would reach new users so quickly, not to mention the fact that despite having a relatively new acco...

**"The price difference won't be $100, it'll be $50 at the absolute maximum"**
Disagree.
Whilst the bill of materials (BOM) for a UHB Blu-Ray drive may only be $20 - $40 the discount afforded to consumers on the PS5 Digital Edition is likely to be higher, possibly in the region of $100.

Oh look, an article about the Xbox platform and the very first comment is an attempt to derail any chance of meaningful dicussion on the article's subject.

Both Sony AND AMD themselves have confirmed primitive shaders utilised on PS5. If PlayStation 5 uses the more modern and advanced mesh shaders then there would be absolutely no reason to use primitives as RDNA...

**"Do you see where it says memory allocated to the GPU? The memory allocated to the GPU is RAM."**
All random access memory is RAM. The difference is that on Series X and PlayStation 5 the RAM is unified unlike PC where GPU RAM and SYSTEM RAM is split.
You saying "The GPU has no memory of its own" is a very glass half full way to view the PS5 architecture. Another way to say it is "PS5 GPU has access t...
**"Wasabi GPU Memory is RAM in the case of a console. The GPU in a console has no memory of it's own"**
It's a unified memory architecture, I stated that in my previous post so I have no idea why you feel the need to point out that the GPU and system share common memory - I clearly understand this.
**"As I said above, the GPU doesn't read data from the SSD it reads data from the RAM. The SSD supplies the data for the RAM and both the CPU and the GPU process the data from the RAM"**
You said it above and you were wrong then just as you are now.
The PS5 (and Series X) utilise unified memory architecture so no split System and graphics memory as per PC.

The Eurogamer article you linked features a video (Digital Foundry) that explicitly states that the GPU found in PS5 is the same GPU (Oberon) from the Github leak last year, same CU count, same amount of memory, same 256 bit memory bus, same memory bandwidth - so that's a massive fail right there.

It's referenced multiple times throughout the video however..
4:15 - Richard Linneman states - in line with what we say from leak minus the boosted clocks
9:35 - Richard Lineman covers size of GDDR6 memory, bandwidth and speed and states " This was all included in the AMD test Leak"
Here's the leak
