So there are several reports that PS5's are failing due to overheating. We also know through verified sources at Bloomberg that the PS5 BoM is significantly higher than normal due to more being spent on cooling. We might have another RROD situation on our hands.
Thoughts?

>Sources say

fucking retard
the source is jez cordon who has a reliable track record when it comes to consoles. he was one of the first to verify the xbox being 12 tf.
When was the last time Sony was actually pushing hardware forward? Early 90's?
>source is literally "dude trust me"
seething snoy
i trust jez over anyone else. even if you don't believe the source he's referring to, he still backed it up based on his own info and he's been reliable for consoles.
Why would anyone be surprised at this? Literally every console they've released had problems. PS1, PS2 both had hardware failures. PS3 red light of death, PS4 also had other problems and sounds like a jet engine
seething
SOniggers in shambles as usual
>Thoughts?
>imagine falling for the console meme
>again
LMAO
Just get a PC already you retarded niggers.
>When was the last time Sony was actually pushing hardware forward?
Literally never.
Playstation has always been an underpowered shitbox.
The PS2 could barely run multiplats above 15 fps. PS3 wasn't much better, never mind the PS4.
The PS2 really performed like shit. I would always get bummed out when a game didnt have a Xbox/Cube version and I had to pick up the dualshit 2.
This was already debunked on ResetEra and by Jason Schreier. The source is a anti-Sony console warrior and the only “insiders” who tweeted about it were Microsoft. Including a guy from Windows Central. Mark Cerny has already discussed the console in a technical level in depth. They will be showing off the cooling system next. There is absolutely no way that the console is overheating with throttling clocks which can throttle down in order to run cooler. If there was a concern, Sony would have locked the locks at a lower speed. Also the SSD running hot is if no concern either. M2 SSDs run hot. Nothingburger. Microsoft’s will run hot too but Sony’s will run twice the speed and make all the difference
The handhelds were fine failure wise I hink.

meanwhile my media server with a 2200G and nothing else gives me a better time. listen to this fucking dude and build a PC, consoles are not fucking worth it
>resetera and shreier say otherwise
holy shit PS5 failing confirmed
JayShrei always damage controls for sony.
oh you mean he read the github?
lol in the same retardera thread the verified sony insider "matt" agreed with jez he just said it was blown a bit out of proportion. scherier is a known sony shill. he's literally best buddies with cuckmann and the guys at naughty dog. he's the guy that started this fan fiction that an ssd (a fucking ssd) will make up a raw power difference to the xbox.
github didn't have any tflop for the xbox. they used HIS info about 12tf to make up the missing clocks on the github leak. you can only work out tflops with clocks and cores. the github xbox page only had cores. he said it's 12tf so digital foundry and everyone else did the math to find the clockspeed based on the cores that was shown.
>a twitter screenshot quoting a youtube screenshot
am*rican retard
Jez is european.
>So there are several reports that PS5's are failing due to overheating
literally 2 xbox fanboys from windowscentral started the rumor on twitter
lol ps5 gonna be an atc tower
atx even
>Resetera on damage control
Its real. This is like 2013 in reverse now
>They will be showing off the cooling system next.
so they havent shown off the cooling yet? curious.
PS3 had a pretty high failure rate. Not as bad as Xbox 360 at launch. Buckle up, babies.
>spencer makes a video about playing xbox without having to wear fire protective clothing
>They will be showing off the cooling system next.
Says who? Cerny only said we'd see the cooling solution in a ps5 teardown presentation, doesn't mean it's next. Also, he stated that they capped the gpu at 2.3ghz, because higher clocked messed with some internal cycle timings, not because of thermals, which could go higher.
summer is coming soon
your PS4 will burn
Shit journalism at it's finest.
Rando twitter posts a rando screen shot from some rando.
Forum user posts tweet.
Tech website posts forum post.
Just kill these "journalists" already.
It never did.
The PS1's 3-D capability was outclassed by the N64.
The PS2 was less powerful than the Gamecube and Xbox
The PS3 was too obtuse for most devs to use properly and the X360 had a better GPU.
The PS4 was a shitty laptop APU from AMD.
Before that. There's a reason that Walkman is a household name.
I'm talking in terms of consoles.
Yeah, other consumer electronics were great.
>Shit journalism at it's finest.
>it's
Ironic.
I never purported to be a journalist publishing an article. I'm typing on some shitty website while watching a YouTube video and eating peanuts.
>the "source" is literally a youtube comment
>fucking retard
it's entirely possible tho: systems always struggle with cooling in the more demanding parts of a game because they consume more power and run at peak clocks. the PS5 APU tho is ALWAYS consuming peak power, and said power is distributed between the CPU and GPU depending on the task at every given time. also SSDs in general run really hot. you read about systems overheating and restarting all the time due to SSD temps. it's not out of the question that Sony' extremely fast custom solution is causing them problems. also also unlike MS and their bulky console design Sony probably went with a more compact design as they usually do. Mind you SIE's CEOs changed two years ago. Shit like this happens when new CEOs that replace really successful ones are just suits who have no clue wtf they are actually selling.
So you admit that you're an irrelevant retard and nobody should care about your opinion.
for fucks sake just build a PC already you dumb cunts
Ahhh my favorite topic: gaming revisionism.
>The PS1's 3-D capability was outclassed by the N64.
The PS1 had a CD player. End of story. Also PSone games aged better than N64's blurfests.
>The PS2 was less powerful than the Gamecube and Xbox
It was only slightly theoretically weaker than the DVDlet Gamecube. Peak PS2 games looked better than Peak Gamecube games. The xbox was an unkown brand, a year late, more expensive are made out of literal off the shelf components.
>The PS3 was too obtuse for most devs to use properly and the X360 had a better GPU.
peak PS3 games were on another level compared to peak 360 games. also the 360 was kill by design.
>The PS4 was a shitty laptop APU from AMD.
lelz. it had a slow but true 8 core CPU and a really capable GPU, all that on a very low consumption APU, a huge unified pool of very fast RAM, dedicated chip for video capture and steaming. it's literally THE most reliable by design PS to this day. and least pirated because of Sony's lawyers. all that for 399. Andrew House be blessed.
which castingcouch episode is this?
who is this semen demon
You're arguing about perception and other factors, not about the hardware capability itself. That's fine and all and there are reasons why Playstation has been a pretty strong gaming brand and had success with their consoles but none of it has to do with its technical capabilities, which was what he was talking about. They were either business or consumer oriented. Again, he is right. The Playstation has never innovated on technology, they combined existing technology wisely and in a nice package for developers and consumers.
>spazzy geometry
>jaggies
>dull colors
nah
All so it could get past the 10tf mark. Pathetic.
it's just sad
Good, now maybe they can hire a designer that isn't retarded and understands how ventilation works before releasing the actual console.
>hardware is weak so they crank up the frequency to compete
>causes huge thermal issues
I guess we know who is gonna win this generation boys
No one with any perspective. But the internet runs on hate and journalists get paid for clickbait.
They are dev kits. Dev kits are notoriously bad because they are slapped together from pre-release silicon and often using previous gen parts overclocked to give the right performance even though the real part isn't going to be available until 6 months before final release. And they are running 12 hours a day at least, probably rammed in a sweatbox of an office between the monitors and stacks of crap that litters a dev's desk.
I've spoken to people who have developed actual games you've probably played going all the way back to the NES and none of them are short of hate stories for dev kits. And then the final retail hardware comes out and it's fine, apart from some normal failures that slip through QA and the extremes where some dude with a twitter account takes his brand new toy home to a literal sub-tropical swamp and sticks it in the unventilated TV unit then proceeds to farm reddit karma out of the FAILURE.
I actually think this is a good thing. Hear me out. Modern hardware is full of Boost Clocks (tm) and dynamic frequency scaling based on temps and power delivery so they get to claim all sorts of numbers even though it's right tough to get those high numbers consistently and benchmarkers pretend just averaging the results for 20 runs is somehow an indicator of performance. Then under heavy load the thing throttles and eventually pops due to repeated thermal stress.
Meanwhile Sony are going balls to the wall and running it effectively 100% all the time. So once they get the cooling working for that then it's solved. Permanently. No surprises when the next Unreal4 showcase pegs all 8 cores with maximum CU throughput and AVX2 going because it was never based on "average" use, but always 100%.
>They will be showing off the cooling system next
In other words we still know if the PS5 is fucked or not
>You're arguing about perception and other factors
bitch please. your neckbeard mental gymnastics mean nothing. the psone was instrumental to bringing 3D graphics to the mainstream. optical as an industry standard for data storage and dual analogue sticks for movement in an 3D game. something that nintendo included as standard 15 years later with the Switch. I bet you believe Nintendo invented usb-c ports lol.
>Literally every console they've released had problems.
saying it doesn't make it so. none of the problems you sporadically read about with PS consoles were ever statistically significant. especially the PS4 is the most reliable PS console literally ever. early PS3s were literally frying when trying to play TLOU.
>They will be showing off the cooling system next
So Sony is holding information about the cooling system and the PS5 final design, with is consistent to what that guy said about the overheating problem. Well, now that isn't suspicious at all.
>especially the PS4 is the most reliable PS console literally ever
Hey my PS1s and PS2 failed but at least they didn't sound like jet engines
Carmack always wins. Even without participating in the console race, he still comes out on top.
>Not as bad as Xbox
Dumb nigger confirmed
