AMD: Both XSX and PS5 RDNA2 based and have Hardware RT

Xbox Series X and PS5, what else? Just latest RDNA tech does not imply RDNA2.

Next Generation Custom Processor: Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD’s latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures.

So Microsoft themselves lied also?

What?

This is a really obtuse hot take.

One has officially confirmed their GPU is RDNA 2.0, the only confirmation from the other side is "RDNA", in what capacity that exists has yet to be officially stated.

This is rudimentary.

So you say Series X is using RDNA2 with hardware based RT and PS5 is RDNA1 with Hardware based RT?

IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. What the hell is with you guys?

But if AMD is lying MS could be lying too.

You can’t use different threats for different companies.

Actually that is the truth:

- If Xbox Series X is RDNA2 then PS5 is RDNA2...
- If PS5 is RDNA1 then Xbox Series X is RDNA1...

Of course it makes sense, AMD is capable of cross-generational hardware feature implementation, they do it all the time.

Are the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X Vega based systems? No, yet how do they have Vega based hardware features under Polaris architecture? They were retrofitted.

You guys act fake af like you don't already know these things.

You guys keep arguing with guys that are trolling you. wait it out, and they will eat crow, When sony announces RDNA 2.0.

The truth is that both consoles will be using exact same chip.

I really wonder how fanboys would operate then...
They won't be using the exact chips, Microsoft already said they've done customization to theirs so by design it will be different.

This is the problem with this whole situation, Microsoft is being rather transparent with information and Sony is leaving everyone in the dark to speculate.

Yes indeed, one of them did do that! And since they're both confirmed by AMD to be using THE LATEST RDNA TECHNOLOGY, what does that tell you?

I already addressed this, try to keep up small fry.

One can be full RDNA 2.0 and one could be a 1.0/2.0 hybrid and guess what? They'd both be using the latest RDNA technology.

Both can be true at the same time, shocking I know.
 
You are telling me that AMD told us more about the PS5 than Sony did?
This is even worse than expected.
I'm telling you that AMD confirmed what Sony already said. That they're using RDNA2, which is why they have hardware accelerated raytracing built into the GPU hardware. As per Cerny's own words.

This isn't hard children, just make like Winnie the Pooh and think.

Yes, there you go! Now ruminate on how utterly asinine your assertion is!

That you honestly think that they'd make some RDNA1/2 hybrid with all the features of RDNA2 is absolutely hilarious. And, well... deliberately obtuse. ;)
He will accept... the hard way but he will accept.
Can’t he continue crying forever, no?

No, they won't eat crow.....If tomorrow Sony out right says....."We are using RDNA2".....They will just say Sony wasn't clear about it before.....Just check these guys responses to raytracing, it's the same thing, they said "Sony only said raytracing, they never mentioned hardware raytracing like MS did".....That little argument spanned days, weeks and months...….I'm pretty sure some are still not convinced when Sony and Cerny have highlighted it a million times....This new argument?... Rinse, repeat...

Then.... why isn’t Sony just saying it lol
Their website still lists lastgen RDNA 1.0 xD this is pathetic. Their should update their website already.

But Its true though. There is not a single sentence where AMD or Sony is saying:

„PS5 is based on RDNA 2.0“. There simply isn’t a single one. It was just implied or interpreted that way. No one said it DIRECTLY without any room for interpretation.
We need AMD or Sony to outright say it.

AGAIN NO ONE IS SAYING THAT PS5 WONT HAVE RDNA 2.0
ITS JUST THAT NO ONE SAID IT DIRECTLY LIKE MS DID FOR SERIES X

Their website just says it's using RDNA tech. Never says one way or the other.

AMD says RDNA2.

So are you saying AMD is lying to the public and their investors, which would result in immediate SEC penalties and fines?

But we know XSX is RDNA2, so if AMD says both are RDNA2, then that confirms PS5 is RDNA2, because it's part of that "both" where we know one is RDNA2. It's logic. Try it sometimes.

No one is saying AMD is lying we simply don't know the implication of exactly what that means. It's heavily implied but it's not a confirmation of the exact hardware makeup.

Is it full RDNA 2.0? Is it 1.0 with 2.0 features? There's no definitive answer yet.

No, see the above.

>AMD says both
"THAT COULD MEAN LITERALLY ANYTHING BUT BOTH!"

And no one is saying that? You sure? Cuz this thread is legit full of people saying that.

Well you finally half accepted the reality.

Even so your bias tried to spin it.

Half- RDNA 2 lol

"Is it 1.0 with all the features they needed to create 2.0 to be able to implement?! We just don't know!"

Their website has only listed RDNA. Even Microsoft has never said RNDA 2 before they announced it few weeks ago.

Since Sony has not announced any info, they will not change the website before the official announcement. The whole AMD presentation was based on RDNA 2 and not RDNA1.

the fuck? Where did I say that AMD is lying? And why are you double posting? Lol is your PSN laggin? *scnr

im just saying that amd nor Sony directly said that PS5 has RDNA 2.0. that’s a fact. Never directly said that.
