In that case you should've wished that Nvidia didn't fuck over both Microsoft and Sony when they got their chance.

There’s also the opposite. There are people that hype over AMD expecting them to crush nvidia generation to generation.

The more I read this thread the more convinced I become that the extreme Xbox fanboys are the console gaming equivalent of flat earthers.
First it was no hardware RT in the PS5, then it was no RDNA 2 and now its mesh shading?
All this hullabaloo and the consoles are pretty much performing like for like. Just accept reality, enjoy your console and move on man.

where i can read about this 25% X CU
AMD attributed the IPC increase on RDNA2 PC parts to the infinity cache.

36 CUs on ps5 = 58 CUs of previous generation. From Eurogamer (source road to the ps5):
In fact, the transistor density of an RDNA 2 compute unit is 62 per cent higher than a PS4 CU, meaning that in terms of transistor count at least, PlayStation 5's array of 36 CUs is equivalent to 58 PlayStation 4 CUs. And remember, on top of that, those new CUs are running at well over twice the frequency.

I mean we are talking by days about mesh shaders not on ps5, not full RDNA2 and so on, when there are patents about it available for everyone, and as always Xbox fans are full engaged in this matter when just needs a quick research on net to understand it. The other guy Christ is literally annoying as hell, push the argument to the extremities, calls personal conjecture as facts, facts and facts and everyone who tries to argue otherwise, is too much emotionally invested and fanboy. Come on.

Lol thank you for joking a bit in this apparently deadly serious thread
On topic, is mesh shaders a new thing devs need to rewrite their engine to take advantage of? Or could it be applied to UE4, Snowdrop, Frostbyte, Red engine, etc?

A joking? He practically trolling about ps5 engineers claimed is just a RDNA1.5, all fans said it's rdna3 when it's absolutely false and wait, mesh shaders are the new Jesus coming on series X thanks to the MS magical engineer . That's fanboy argumentation. Mesh shaders was already on Nvidia before AMD rdna2, it's crazy argue MS has invented the wheel as said ps5 is outside this track because RDNA1.5.Lol thank you for joking a bit in this apparently deadly serious thread

and 52 rdna2 cu ? lol
My god what's wrong with you ..where fuckin i said that theres no something like the mesh shader in the ps5 ?????? i said they modified an rdna1 gpu putting in their own version of the same exact things you can find on the rdna2 gpu's ....and we have to wait to see what version will perform better
find me the post where i said there's no equivalent of mesh shader into the ps5 gpu

Did you have a minimal ideas what RDNA1 means at least? There are set of instructions of RDNA1 on series X too. If ps5 was RDNA1.5 (whatever you think is it) raytracing would be literally impossible as many other things

No need to make them up as trump cards/saviours hiding behind fancy names / code words either.
Yes but there is always cut off to which HW features get used at every product design.
It seems the changes are noticeable enough for Amd/MS to assign new names to identify the newer HW features in rDNA2. So thats why i find it awkward to handwave those features as fancy names.

To be fair Sony said raytracing on ps5 using AMD RDNA2 implementation.

L3 tweaks for IPC would be about Ryzen 2 to 3 updates or do you mean the infinity cache? Infinity cache did help sustain the IPC boost for the CU’s but I do not think they are the only factor. Smart shift does not factor in IPC calculation: it is a way to balance the power consumption budget between CPU and GPU to allow the latter to keep higher clocks for longer periods of time.He did (two times in different topic) and you at this point are trolling. there are entire articles about it.

So far the data we have is matching the leaker’s tweet. Both MS and Sony played a bit loose with the RDNA2 based definition

That's the transistor density per CU, not the performance per CU.

I always stated as such, you are the one called BS the AMD leaker that said MS’s Solution is not exactly the pure RDNA 2 you imagine. So, by your definition apparently XSX is also between RDNA1 and RDNA2
.Also, how each design could have included features that were contributed to desktop cards released at around the same time as the consoles such as Big Navi designs (Cerny directly stated as such in his presentation, not including other consoles, as well as the cache scrubbers which were PS5 only).
Uhm no im thinking and saying is that Ms waited for an rdna2 gpu and they putted out the l3 cache from the cu (infinite something) probably to cut the cost of it and I think also there isn't any form of smart shift because of the sustained perf they was looking for. This explains the waiting, the late devkits timing, the features present in the gpu that also correspond in the nomenclature to those of the new AMD gpu, the claim of the Ms marketing team.I always stated as such, you are the one called BS the AMD leaker that said MS’s Solution is not exactly the pure RDNA 2 you imagine.

Meanwhile on the opposite I think Sony in order to speed up the times of R&D has highly modified an rdna1 gpu by adding their own version of pretty much everything that is missing to make it a "full rdna2". This explains AMD reddit leak, devkits released 1 year before ms, the different nomenclature of the features and the different patents that reproduce the same features present on the rdna2 such as the geometry engine and the interesection engine, explains the lack of support for ML, explains the confusion in trying to explain without creating panic among the fanboys, by the ps5 engineer Leonardi.
Is the name rdna1 or 2 important? no in highly customized gpu's such those absolutely not, and exactly as Leonardi said, ps5 gpu is customized to a level that is not worth to be called 1,2,3 or 4 so yes, if we want to put it both, Ms and Sony, have been loose with their definition of rdna2. My only interest is to see if Cerny's versions of the rdna2 features architecture enhancements will perform better or worse than those present in the rdna2 gpus.

Not sure what relevance that has to what I said. (Performance per watt, transistor density and IPC are all different things)
With that said, RDNA had a claimed performance per watt advantage of 50% over GCN, while XSX delivers 2X performance per watt compared with the One X. So whether or not it is as power efficient as the PS5 (at equivalent clocks), huge strides have been made over RDNA 1.

Why? What is the point comparing PS5 enhancements to PC GPU’s
?About the time difference between the dev kit releases (which meant that the software side of it was a bit more stable and ready for battle on one side)... you seem to forget that:
1.) Sony likely started a bit earlier (think PS4 Pro launch date vs XOX launch date, a year of difference)
2.) MS imposed on themselves the transition from XDK to GDK
You are looking at that and then dreaming up a scenario that makes one console look best in your eyes (they had to wait to get the full RDNA2+ GPU). You are succeeding in convincing that XSX also is a flux between RDNA1/2/3
. Again dodging that IPC improvement MS confirmed with the one AMD mentioned as GCN to RDNA1 IPC improvements (and how it matches the AMD leaker tweets you criticised)...Seriously, MS historically has chosen features that most closely aligned with the DX roadmap and customised what they needed to to fit their OS structure (virtualised design) and expose lower level features to devs and invested their budget in other aspects, such as way more standard CU’s than the competition. PS4, PS4 Pro, and likely PS5 bet on a different approach that balanced familiarity with potential to be exploited as developers familiarise with the HW more.
This can have its side effects too as a naive/quickly developed PS4 Pro title will fare a lot worse on it than on XOX (given the same amount of dev budget on both).

Then you showed up and claimed that PS5 GPU is RDNA 1. Even Mark Cerny doesn't know that. He should hang himself

Please provide a Link where an AMD Rep states infinity Cache is the most important feature in RDNA2.
Secondly show me an RDNA2 card with a 320 bit bus like the Xbox Series X has.
Infinity cache is there to mitigate the lack of bandwidth on a 256 bit bus...
me ? I'm very pretty sure of the perfomance that we will find later in the gen than the two consoles.

Want to see me destroy your entire argument believing the Principal Software Engineer on PS5 confirmed that it has VRS?
And then here is that same Principal Software Engineer on PS5 agreeing with *gasp* me...
So remove that tweet from your arsenal. He already confirmed back in August of last year that his tweet was not at all a confirmation of VRS on PS5.

Despite not having been officially acknowledged, PlayStation 5 will indeed be fully utilizing Variable Rate Shading (VRS) for next-generation games. In a

I don’t remember so... Infinte Cache is a external cache and it is not inside the CU.
IPC is related to all GPU parts... AMD and MS were talking about CU perf. per clock cycle.
But if you have a source about that, please share with us.
BTW if that is true then RDNA 2 CUs are just RDNA 1 CU at arch level without any improvement... that makes sense too.

It is +50% from GCN to RDNA and more +50% from RDNA to RDNA 2.
GCN to RDNA 2 is +125% so MS claim of the 2x fits with 125% increase.
What doesn’t fit is the MS claim of the 25% perf. per clock only increase from GCN that is basically the what AMD have with GCN to RDNA.

"Intersection engine" is basically "Ray Accelerator" or "RA". AMD/Sony engineers (maybe even MS engineers) were probably using the term "intersection engine" internally during the design process. Hence why Mark Cerny referred to it as "intersection engine" in his talk back in March 2020.
In late Oct 2020, it became "Ray Accelerator". Which is quite simply AMD's marketing term for "intersection engine" inside RDNA 2 CU. Similar to their marketing term "GameCache" (remember that?) to refer to what was basically just a large L3 cache during the introduction of Zen 2 architecture.
