to be completely open here, the series s was purchased as an early Xmas gift for my nephew. I will share my gamepass subscription With that console so his parents don’t need to worry about buying any games for him. He is 8 year old boy that cares only about fortnite, mine craft and forza horizon. I myself will use xb sex in my living/gaming room, my xbone x and PS4 pro will be connected in my bedroom
Your nephew will love it. Lots to Entertain him with on Gamepass!

From one gamer to another, that is awesome as hell of you 🍻🔥🔥🔥.

.....but one hint they gave me was that cache coherency on the PS5 is incredibly important and this is one of the reasons we see cache scrubbers...when I asked my source why does it look there is some sort of stacked memory on the PS5, are we looking at 3D stacked memory? they told me and I quote "think PS Vita".
Its very interesting because PS Vita has some sort of 3D TSV memory <-> SOC connection type.
Memory chip (VRAM) is lay on (placed on) SoC processor and bus is wider (but low frequency) = low power consumption, bigger bandwith.

F2P sold as retail. Sadly ...





Sorry, but the rest of your post is gibberish.

Seems you did not read any article at all about Sony´s event, the headlines were concise enough. You would have known that, right after the first paragraph. They even mentioned how warm the PS5 got (according to them).

Nobody mentioned once horizon 4K the past 48h or right after the Japanese event. So, no idea what´s with the tangent and or what "spreading nonsense about your competitor" has anything got to do with your initial inquiry (which was based on a wrong assumption).


You no fooling us!

Well you're right I didnt read the articles but the twitter posts of people who were quoted in this thread, which made it sound like the actual console was running at 30° (they literally said the playstation is running at 30°).
Yes people were arguing about Horizon being 4K native yesterday. Its the whole reason I made the post.
The "spreading nonsense" part is independent from the initial inquiry which is quite obvious when reading the post.

Other than that I dont know what you want to tell me with the "you no fooling us". I mean its not like I tried fooling anyone. I just want people to keep a level head and managed expectations.

But you do you.

Stop using twitter as source?

Full of idiots and bullshit. It is like you would read something in gas stations toilet wall and come here like it would be a fact.

I have no idea how anybody would turn "PS5 were not noisy at 30C room temperature" into "ps5 were running at 30C"

You cant blame others if you believe twitter derps and then spread it.

I dont think you get my point. I was not believing them (obviously, otherwise I would not have asked the question about it to begin with), but people in here were quoting them as truths. Yes apparently some knew that they meant the room temp, but there were also some who flat out believed the misguided quotes. Especially those who actually quoted those out of context tweets to make people believe whats in it. Thats the whole point of my post.

Do not hype up this shit. Do not believe twitter quotes. And if you're like me and dont have the time to read every single article and watch every single video and your main source is this exact forum threat, than ask for clarification, which I did and I am happy people were quick to correct me.

I mean it's violent... yeah, yeah it's violent. You can warm up thanks to the Series X, clearly. From a sound point of view it's good but from a heat point of view, it's something."

Other one adds : "It will send out air, a small air diffuser."

Interesting note : "yeah, we're not allowed to show new generation games, disappointing."

I think this is the second time the heat has been mentioned. Open your windows I worry for your safety @X-Fighter
 
Not a huge surprise. There was a reason they didn't show ANYTHING of the game. I'm telling you, MS was getting out of the gaming business and then reversed course, probably on the promise of subscription model gaming. Only thing that makes SENSE as far as them having NO GAMES ready for launch of a new console and being several YEARS away from doing so. I mean, it's either that or a company like Microsoft was just that incompetent? I don't buy that. MS is many things, but incompetent is not one of them.

This is a dumb take. What is your basis for any of this? Halo was the launch blockbuster but it caught a delay. Gears Tactics is a console launch title as well.

You think maybe we would've heard some news if you're purporting that Turn 10 was getting shut down and then miraculously ramped back up. This is just complete horseshit lol.

I think this is the second time the heat has been mentioned. Open your windows I worry for your safety @X-Fighter

Hard to get the PS5 hot with that low CU count and all. Dont worry, infinity cache, a big die space eater like SRAM will surely be on the PS5 since its rumored to be on Big NAVI.

"The alleged AMD Radeon RX 6900 graphics card would therefore feature 16GB GDDR6 256-bit memory paired with Infinity Cache. This, of course, would be the highest SKU in the lineup".

Man i cant stand this wait. I see xbox taking the stage left and right with them giving away series X consoles everywhere. "you get an xbox!, yout get an xboxI and you get a xbox!"exept you Angry Joe, you dont play nice with eckbok anymore! But i can relate, it's like the beginning of this year with Sony also being silent while MS was showing their console and quick resume everywere. I felt alone and cheated! where is my PS5 news Sony? i am knee deep in the Ps4 ecosystem and was 100pct planning on taking my games with me to PS5. Then a couple of months later they showed games and console and it was glorious. For a while xbox was nowere to be seen and all the talk was about PS5. It stayed like that until ms brilliantly decided to give every youtuber some time with the system. Plus they can only talk about quick resume, loadtimes and BC trough gamepass. We are so hungry that we swallow it up like warm buns. and is brilliant because in a couple of week some next NDA date may pass and they can tell us about the OS itselfs and other features. In the end of this year every youtuber has about 10 video's up about the thing and it only costed MS 499 dollar + expense per youtuber. This is some next level marketing right there. Even i am think about buying that series s to go with my ps5 @ launch. And thats just to be part of that exposure and play some game i missed this last generation. I have zero interest in series X/S exclusives (there are none) and still they are succeeding in letting me buy their system. bravo... last gen i had no interrest at all in xboxone and now the next gen did not even start and i am more engaged allready... all because of Sony's silence!

Dispite out agony about the silence and drip feeding about PS5 news this might be another planned move. We still have 6 weeks to go and both party's don't need this exposure to sell console cuz they are all gone till march 2021 anyway (exept Xbox series S, i can order one right now here in West EU) what if sony just waits it out till like the last weeks before launch. Eveybody will be talking about PS5 again in the time its matters. and to be honoust i would like to see some OS features and i want to see how my psplus bloodborne runs on PS5. i again feel like they are cheating on me... that might change fast when they start spooning us with more info than we can handle... just look at the godfall gameplay, it's glorious.

leaving us this hungry can only work out for so long... at one point hardcorefans are going to pick up the phone and order a pizza with some thick gamepass topping. MS is pleasing the hardcore and Sony forgets that, in time, casuals tend to follow the path the hardcore gamers walk.

Nothing is showing/telling Sony that they are doing something wrong. Pre-orders flew out the door, and they expect to sell more PS5's in the first year than PS4's. So I wouldn't expect a big change, I'm also wondering what they still have to show? Just UI and OS stuff? Because they have shown enough of the games itself.

Difference with Microsoft is that they highlight every feature the console has in detail. I think that's great. And Sony should take note, because when they do present the OS and UI, new smaller stuff will probably be overshadowed by bigger stuff even though it's important. While knowing everything about the whole system is what makes it fun for people that are hyped and real fans.

"There is one small little thing, I'm kinda hesitant to bring it up because I know people are going to get mad at me, but I'm going to mention it anyway, I have a sneaking suspicion that a variant of the Infinity Cache is in the PS5, now the reason I say that is because when I was asking my sources, a couple of them accurate, the same sources told me that the PS5 was running incredibly quiet, very cool and they gave me all the breakdown of the PS5 testing procedures from Sony thats turned out to be accurate, they told me that the cooling solution was very different, very unique and they gave me other insights and lo and behold we started to see patents for that.....but one hint they gave me was that cache coherency on the PS5 is incredibly important and this is one of the reasons we see cache scrubbers...when I asked my source why does it look there is some sort of stacked memory on the PS5, are we looking at 3D stacked memory? they told me and I quote "think PS Vita". So I don't know if that is the case that there some type of chunk of cache or if it some type of Infinity Cache, I am still pretty dam confident in my information that PS5 has custom RDNA 2 features, or more specifically it's built on RDNA 2 with custom features which are NOT seen on RDNA 2 silicon...we'll just have to wait and see."

Interesting. What does he mean by "think PS Vita" when he asked about 3D stacked memory? 🤔 Is there some form of stacked mem on PS Vita?

Also, I don't think most people know this but Mark Cerny was the lead architect of the PS Vita as well before PS4. :messenger_beaming:

All PS5 consoles come with Astrobot pre-installed. In line with their overall strategy, Microsoft might be ready to give all XSX users a hidden backwards-compatible feature from the 360 era instead: the RROD.

Because Cerny is a polite guy.

Cerny won't stand a chance. There is no worse deaf than he who does not want to hear. Cerny said it all in plain english back in March. If they want to listen to him they can still fetch his conference from youtube: it's free and he says it all.

What I am amezed by is that they have all played just BC. This "heat-gate" is all based on idle, UI and BC. I wonder how it's gonna play once next-gen is run.

In Japan Sony let people play Godfall, which is next-gen, so at least we have some sort of a baseline from that camp.

It's the only move MS has got: either this or risk to not be relevant. They have to invade every silent space that Sony "gives" them. Problem for them is that Sony is actually giving us what we wanted to see (apart from the UI or the teardown, but the big public doesn't really care about those things). It's all about the games, and from MS camp there appears to be next to no games, other than the multiplats.

That quote is not good, not good at all.

I see someone made a post about it in the main forums but for some reason it got closed down.

i see O Orky coming in straight away trying to shut it down claiming its fud

How many threads on this do we need?
And this is normal. All consoles and computers nowadays run hot. Nothing special.
This is just the typical FUD. We had the same with PS5:

PlayStation 5's rumored heat issues should be solved in final console
Sources say the PlayStation 5 runs hot, but Sony should compensate with a powerful cooling solution.
www.tweaktown.com
http://www.tweaktown.com

But unlike those blatant lies this is not Fud this is actual reports that have confirmed videos +repies with people discussing, it not your usual bullshit sources like Deal, eastwood, timdog, that blue fucking idiot, pidgeon boy etc.

Why is this stuff getting shut down.

It doesn't even matter if they will listen to Cerny, or get to watch again his YouTube conference; technically challenged people will never understand it (hell, they DIDN'T understand it anyway, that's why today we have so many idiots posting for the sake of getting brownie points), then the ones who are able to understand will be in denial, because it will contradict their interior beliefs.

So, any way we look at it, you're right; falling on deaf ears, and know why? Because of the deafening roar of people dying inside. Nothing can be done about it, and I am absolutely convinced nothing SHOULD be done about it. To each, their own.

Hell, there are still people who believe the Earth is flat, so why not.

I really hope that is not happening though. It did, with those specific units, otherwise people wouldn't run around with this in the public space, but I think it will be identified and dealt with. Xbox players deserve to have fun with their console, as that thing doesn't come cheap at all.

So if this is really a thing now, Microsoft should get their head out of their bunghole and fix this.

Now I noticed your edit, don't mind O Orky , he thinks it's ok for a console to run as hot as a microwave oven. It's not.

Is it true xbox series x has a heating issue or did that turn out to be false?

So far there was

1) A tweet from someone with a picture of an overheat warning claiming it was from their Xsex after 2 hours of use.


b3ULdW1.jpg



2) Giant bomb said the SSD was “super hot” and that the “whole unit is a little toasty”


3) A french Twitch vid saying theirs was “hot” - “it’s violent”



True or false? Who knows? - until we get the retail units it’s impossible to say... 5 weeks or so and counting.

It's quite strange that even in standby it runs really hot. Stand-by means it's really in very low power consumption, even if it is downloading something in the background. My Pro barely was warm in stand-by mode downloading something and in the same time charging gamepad.

Again there is some questions about the statement from jeff
1) he only mentioned it was hot when he touched the ssd specifically the metal part which will get hot
2) he didn't mention how long it was in standby mode for

Why is it not good? A fan that actually removes heat from the innards of the console is supposed to be a bad thing now? I don't get it. These consoles get hot. If they aren't blowing out hot air, we could talk about "not good at all."

How far are you down that rabbit hole, read the comment those people are using, its not just warm air is terms like Violent, that's not a word you want to hear with a console in regards to heat. did you watch the video with the ssd the other day, complaining about it being super hot.

Do you think the WORD TOAST IS A GOOD WORD to use when talking about a console.

These are legit concerns for people,

I call fake on this.

2) Giant bomb said the SSD was “super hot” and that the “whole unit is a little toasty”

SSDs are hot, and anything more than 45°C feels "super hot". So I call it incosequential.

3) A french Twitch vid saying theirs was “hot” - “it’s violent”

Yeah, we'll get an answer in a few weeks time.

That is something that really makes me think. If true, there is some bad energy management within the box.

I can imagine a scenario where BC may be more taxing on the silicon than a “proper” next generation game.

It’s similar to the situation where sometimes going to a 2D screen while playing a game makes a current gen console go crazy - the work load is just right to “fill up” the processing capacity and consume a lot of power.

Like running a simple 2D game at an uncapped framerate can make a powerful system consume a lot of power.

My understanding is that Xsex does its BC running in a virtual environment on the hardware. If that environment has some issues it may be over stressing the system more than a native next gen game would.

it would be nice if digital foundry could do a video on thermals to clear this up, i imagine they received more than one console as there are 3-4 of them, so that should give them a good over-representation of its thermals

I'm sorry, I don't trust a random guys translation of a french video. Words often get mistranslated, especially if they are done directly without taking context into consideration. All consoles get hot under certain conditions and the whole "legit concern" thing seems.. well, not legit.

Until we have proper measurements this is a non issue. Who the hell bases their judgement on random people on the internet using words such as "toasty" and weird translations as "VIOLENT"?

they just say „it’s hot“. What is this supposed to mean? How hot? How many degrees? Explain this to me:
Why would MS sent their consoles 2 MONTHS in advance to influencers if they have heating problems? Why?

No one was expecting them to sent consoles to anyone, no one would be mad at all, why would they risk it, if there are indeed heating issues?

I mean Sony is not sending out any consoles and no one is mad, so no one would be mad if MS also didn’t sent consoles, yet they did. Why would they do this, if there are heating issues?
IMHO, this is just the typical FUD. There is ZERO proof, only some fake screenshots from Xbox ONE messages and no degrees measurements. etc.

In Japan Sony let people play Godfall, which is next-gen, so at least we have some sort of a baseline from that camp.

In Japan, Sony set up a controlled environment and allowed a few YouTube personalities to try out selective elements of the console, but most were forbidden from even touching the thing.

I don't think it's fair to jump on MS for sending hundreds of Xbox Series X units worldwide, including to DF for a full teardown, because a few people were shocked the SSD drive dissipates heat. Especially when Sony invited "professionals" like this guy


ditluPk.png



It's a stand-by mode. Device shouldn't be hot in stand-by mode even if it is doing some tasks in the background.

It can still be operating while on Standby, particularly if the console is downloading updates or using smart delivery etc. We don't know the circumstances behind either report, it's unscientific hearsay from two podcasters, at least one of whom is stupid enough to hold an NVME SSD drive and touch the metallic heatsink after use.

On another note, I see only concern (trolling) from Sony fans who had zero intention of getting an Xbox here. The fact is, two people thought the dissipation of heat is enough to warrant comment out of hundreds. Others have reported the opposite. Ok.
