Digital Foundry when asked which PC GPU most closely matches PS5 Pro's say $579 RX 6800 or $500 RX 7800 XT with a downclock But that neither are a match as they're missing RDNA4 RT features and machine learning HW they think #PS5Pro has; future RDNA4 GPU will offer... show more

But I saw some claiming it was equivalent to a 4070 and 4090 NIB...🤭

NIB2 years ago

4090 no way lol, but it'll actually perform pretty close to a 4070 based on the performance charts of equivalent GPU's.

WolverinePS52 years ago

But twitter told me the PS5 Pro is worse than 4060. 😂

N2 years ago

Whats the point if the cpu is the same 😕

quattro bajeena2 years ago

$579 my balls 🤣, I even grab one of these for $299 past month for my child gaming rig check your sources next time

NIB2 years ago

Discounted prices or deals are not the same as RRP.

FrostzMonkey2 years ago

So basically, wait a couple of months, and AMD will have a mid range card out that supports RDNA 4 features for half the cost of the PS5 Pro. What a time to love PC gaming.

CMA 8K DUALSENSIBLE2 years ago

So if true 700 is a bargain, unless everything in that pc including the case is second hand , just that card and a 2tb ssd is over the price of the pro , now add ram a cpu etc

New Mark Cerny PS5 Pro Technical Seminar. Some interesting info. GPU is a hybrid of RDNA tech Base tech - RDNA2.X (RDNA2 + 3) Ray Tracing - RDNA4 Machine Learning - Custom Not fully RDNA3 to reduce workload for ports/code. Doesn't have RDNA3 shader executables and double floating point calculations, though it does have other RDNA3 and custom features such as extra vertex and primitive processing, more shader instructions for ML etc. Not having double FP is why Tflop count is 16.7 Tflop and not 33.5 Tflop, but Tflop count difference is "meaningless", esp to real world performance, and they didn't need 32bit calculation bump. Though interestingly PS5 Pro still retains 8 operations per lane for 67 Tflops of 16bit performance. Custom ML hardware has 300 TOPS of performance. PS5 Pro also has over 1GB of extra GDDR6 ram for games vs PS5, thanks to extra DDR5 system ram that many OS operations have been moved on to. Ray Tracing is roughly 2-3x faster than equivalent PS5 performance. ML hardware are PlayStation custom additions to RDNA that they themselves designed in collaboration with AMD. #PS5Pro #PS5 Full video below

Path Tracing on PS5 Pro even as a demo and at 30fps, pretty much confirms at least some games will use PT on PS6, which I said months ago but some said I was crazy for suggesting. PC gamers won't want to admit it, but next-gen the gap between console and higher end PC may shrink in terms of real world differences, bolstered by more competent RT and AI upscaling tech in the next-gen consoles. Keep in mind Valve already confirmed what Steam data already showed, that "the steam machine is equal or better than ~70% of what people have at home", and the Steam Machine is reportedly similar in perfomance to the BASE PS5. In regards to PT in F1 on PS5 Pro, I say drop the base resolution further (there's examples of PSSR 2 looking great even at 864p) and give us 40fps or higher. Also, this is a reason the future/RDNA4 RT tech and custom AI hardware in PS5 Pro was noteworthy. The "2-3x" PS5's RT performance Cerny quoted clearly wasn't just PR bluster. Outside of this demo, it's already allowing WAY better RT than PS5 in some games (Cyberpunk, F1, AC Shadows etc), with better image quality and/or perfomance to boot. Such demo's show there's potentially more to extract, especially for quality modes. #PS5Pro #PS6

It's PS5 RDNA 1.5 all over again, and reading responses, like a certain fandom never gets tired of being let down or uninformed. There's reasons PS5 often outperforms Xbox Series X despite the latter having 44% more compute than PS5 and being "full RDNA 2", which Digital Foundry did a video on. As I said at the start of the gen, most RDNA2 features Xbox/PC fans claim PS5 is missing, it was unlikely to use as they're Microsoft DirectX RDNA tie in features, and PS5 doesn't use DX but instead its own proprietary custom API called AGC. Why would PlayStation push for Microsoft DirectX RDNA features, when they don't use DirectX? Any AGC API specific graphics features PS5 uses (that Xbox wouldn't have) are not widely publicly advertised, as PlayStation don't need to advertise them the way Microsoft does due to their PC DirectX market. Thus every customisation PS5 has (which Kepler seemingly glosses over or doesn't recognise), from its faster clockspeeds, cache scrubbers, I/O set up, CPU alleviating decompression, DMA controllers and processors, geometry engine etc, will have been specifically designed around AGC or vice versa, NOT DirectX RDNA2 features. PS6 will be no different. There may be DirectX RDNA5 features they do not need or use, but there will inevitably be other unique customisations of their own and for their OWN proprietary API instead, no doubt bolstered by Amethyst custom features from their partnership with AMD. If history is any indicator, PlayStation is right to prioritise their own API and modifications, as these tend to have greater cost to perfomance results for the hardware vs the competition. The RDNA2 DirectX image below is taken directly from AMD's website, and again, PlayStation doesn't use Microsoft's DirectX. #PS6

I tested out Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing turned on with RX 9070 XT now that FSR Redstone is out. By using the new FSR Redstone and FSR ML Based Frame-Gen, the game reaches up to 130FPS in 1440p with FSR set to Performance Mode. The performance gains are not that much higher compared to the previous versions of FSR but the image quality got a huge upgrade, especially when using Frame-Gen. This ML based Frame Gen is much better than the previous version as it gets rid of most artifacts and ghosting caused by the previous version. If for some reason you always wanted to play Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing turned on on an AMD GPU, now you can enjoy a playable experience with 100+ FPS on an RX 9070 XT. I still don't recommend it though as the frame pacing and input lag still feels off for me, I'd just rather play this without Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I'm going to test out Black Myth: Wukong next

Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis says a worse GPU with better storage and memory now beats the best chip without them, so buying the newest GPU alone no longer wins inference. So, an AMD GPU with more memory can outperform Nvidia in some cases. "So what we have is we have over $80 million of compute, GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, TPUs from Google, Trainium from Amazon, and we run this benchmark constantly on the newest inference engine, newest drivers, newest PyTorch version, whatever it is." "Every day it runs on an automated CI, and we run it on all the latest Chinese models, from GLM, Zhipu, Moonshot, Kimi, Alibaba, all these models we run." "Initially, when we were benchmarking the difference between these chips and different engines, different schemes for parallelism, we were just running it fixed context length." "But now with Agent X, we've analyzed over $5 million worth of Claude Code traces. This is real production traffic that people have donated to us as well as internally generated. Now we know what the actual agent workload looks like." "And then as we implement that and run those benchmarks, it turns out yes, the chip you're using is very important, but now even more important is how are you handling this memory offload?" "And so while an Nvidia GPU is faster than an AMD GPU in most cases, because AMD GPUs have more memory, they actually end up outperforming in some cases." "Or you can have a worse GPU, but a much better storage solution, and now you can outperform what the best GPU can do without those solutions. So just buying the newest and latest GPU alone doesn't get you the best inference economics." "Actually, you need to layer in all these other innovations including storage and memory." [ Who's the top player on your chart? ] "That really is a difficult multivariable problem. And generally that means you need to have, yes, you need to have the best GPU, a GB300, but you also need to have the best storage solutions. And so I won't spoil who's the best right here, but I will say that storage solutions matter a lot and memory solutions matter a lot, as does your front-end networking. That matters a lot."

Cliff Asness (the co-founder of AQR, who manages billions) on the one belief about that most of his peers would disagree with: "as we move into a world where machine learning is becoming a bigger part of the quant toolkit, we are big believers that economic intuition as a restraint on overfitting is still pretty important." "finance is still a high noise to signal ratio place. in that world, overfitting is a problem." "but one thing ML has done is point out that underfitting is also a problem. and you have to balance the two." "not using these techniques was probably underfitting and missing some of the true complication." this is the most balanced take on ML in trading i've heard. it's both problems exist simultaneously and the skill is balancing them. but for the regular retail trader, I would still say stay far away from machine learning, you will likely just overfit.

CoreWeave CEO: The GPU Depreciation Debate is Nonsense Being Pushed by Short Sellers CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator: “ My take on the GPU depreciation debate is that it's nonsense.” “It's a debate that is being brought to the forefront by some traders that have a short position in the stock and they're trying to talk down.” “Look, here's what we know when we buy infrastructure: we're a success-based company, right? We're a small company, on a relative basis, compared to the enormous companies that we're competing with.” “And so our clients come into us and they buy compute for five years, for six years. Our average contract is five years.” “So any commentary by anyone, either inside or outside of the industry, that this stuff becomes obsolete in 16 months or whatever nonsense they're spewing, it doesn't in any way match up with the facts on the ground.” “The fact on the ground is, they're buying it for five years.” “And my approach to this has always been, if people are willing to pay me for it, it still has value. Pretty simple way of approaching it.” “We use a six year depreciation. We believe that the GPUs will last in excess of six years, but we felt like that was a fair and reasonable approach to a technology cycle that's moving at this velocity.” ------------------------------------------ Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.

Cabo Verde manager Bubista spoke about the level of pride he has for his team after an incredible run in this edition of the World Cup: "Well, first of all, good evening. First things first: I feel pride in my players and in what they did. They did it with dignity and courage. And also a word to our opponent, Argentina. I think they showed why they're world champions. I think I can say our team showed how willing they were to play this game, to play this match. I don't think any other team could have scored two goals against Argentina and then taken the match into extra time. I think that shows the character of our team, how skilled our team was throughout most of the match. We knew the quality of our opponent. It was going to be a tough match, as it truly proved to be against Argentina. But I think we did our best, and we did it with bravery. And we never failed to stay true to our identity, which is why I'm so proud of what my players did throughout the match. Obviously, at times during the match, you have to have courage and you have to be well-organized because of how skilled your opponent is. But I think that being able to equalize against Argentina twice, after falling behind, shows how resilient our team is and how strong our character is as well."

Digital Foundry says the rumoured leaked specs difference between Xbox Helix and PS6 (~26% CU), which is far less than between Series X and PS5 (44% CU, but PS5 clocks are faster) is unlikely "to get you a whole lot" and it's "basically not that meaningful". Oliver adds "especially if you're looking at an unsubsidised box on one end, subsidised box on the other end, there could be a substantial price price premium you're paying for that performance." "Because the new Xbox Magnus die is also over 400mm squared, even though I think it is a dual die design, that is a considerably large die for a console. Whereas PS6 seems to be a die around PS5 Pro size, as it's a very svelte die that's monolithic, so that should be cheaper to produce just by its nature as well" Considering #PS5 is also launching AFTER #Xbox Helix, and is likely to come with more mature or advanced Project Amethyst features or customisations, and Helix might not have tenrpole Xbox exclusives either, next-gen could be one where the new Xbox hardware is considerably worse value proposition vs PlayStation hardware, more so than all prior gens.

Gavin Baker (Gavin Baker) says the disaggregation of inference can extend GPU useful lives from 3-4 years to 10-15. That may single-handedly save private credit and reduce the financing rates for GPUs, which will drive demand and help finance the build-out. "The disaggregation of prefill and inference is going to be amazing for the useful lives of GPU and may single-handedly save private credit. Private credit is in pain from these SaaS loans. But there's a lot of private credit in GPUs too. They were underwriting that to 3-4. The disaggregation of inference means that these GPUs are going to have 10 or 15-year lives. The AI skeptics are like, "Oh, these companies are all cooking their books. The useful life of a GPU is only a year or two. The useful life of a CPU is only four years because the rapid technological change." No. What rapid technological change has done with the disaggregation of prefill and inference is you can put a Cerebras system or Groq LPUs effectively in front of a Hopper or even an Ampere, use that Hopper and Ampere for prefill, and extend the useful life of that GPU until it melts. This is going to be really good for the whole private credit industry. It's gonna help finance the AI build-out. Because if you can start to finance GPUs at 5% or 6% instead of – I think CoreWeave's lowest financing was low sevens – that actually mathematically changes the cost to finance this build-out."

[trans JPN/ENG] Post-match interview with Yuki Ishikawa for BS-TBS. -First of all, since this was the first match, there may have been different atmospheres, but what do you think about the fact that you won this first match in straight sets? Yuki: Well, as a win, I think it's fantastic that we managed to win 3-0, so I consider that positive. As for the content, there are still some things that aren't quite right, and also, I think there were too many aces on return today, so I think that's something we need to improve in the future. Masa: It's quite unusual for Ishikawa to join the Nation League in the first round and play, so what are your thoughts or feelings about it? Yuki: It's been a while since I joined the team in the first round, and even though the time to practice has been short, I'm happy to be able to play matches right from the first round like this. I haven't had many opportunities to play matches with my club this season, so I was looking forward to it. However, my performance today was only good in the first set, and then it dropped off a bit after that, so I hope to improve in matches and throughout the Nation League. Masa: You mentioned your performance earlier, but since today was the first match, were there any problems you noticed in this first match? Yuki: Yes, in addition to what I said before, I think we did a lot of trial and error. Our reception, so I think it's something we need to improve on. Even so, we managed not to lose a set, and although we were helped by our opponents' mistakes, I think we deserve credit for winning 3-0. -Captain, the next match is against Poland. Could you tell us about your aspirations for that match? Yuki: Poland is very tall and has many young players on the rise, so we'll keep that in mind, and we've identified areas where we can improve further compared to today. We'll approach the match against Poland by working on those aspects.

Yuki: Poland is very tall and has many young players on the rise, so we'll keep that in mind, and we've identified areas where we can improve further compared to today. We'll approach the match against Poland by working on those aspects.

Kim Jung-ho, the pioneer of HBM, says SK hynix is clearly advantaged on HBM3 today but by HBM4 and HBM5 the performance delta versus Samsung is basically null, and growth will depend on which company's ecosystem grows more. "Looking at things as they stand, the two companies have different ecosystems. Samsung does DRAM, HBM, HBF, foundry and packaging, all of it, so it's a total-solution company, and you can see its growth and expansion potential as larger." "By comparison, SK hynix does HBM and DRAM, but foundry and packaging are done at TSMC, and GPU design at NVIDIA. That's the ecosystem it has. In AI semiconductors, it has a firmly established ecosystem." "In that respect, in HBM SK hynix is advantaged, while Samsung, moving beyond NVIDIA, can take Google, Meta, Apple and others as new partners. That is its advantage." "Today market size and stability are higher for SK hynix, but I see Samsung's expansion potential as greater." "Looking at HBM alone, through HBM3 SK hynix clearly holds the advantage. Part of that is being inside NVIDIA and TSMC's ecosystem. And it is also true that hynix's HBM performance is better." "But at HBM4 and HBM5, I think the performance difference will be almost none. Then the two companies' growth depends on which ecosystem grows more."

Dan on why hyperscalers will be a worse business model over time even as growth accelerates: "AWS, Azure, GCP are going to accelerate for a while just because their customer base -- Anthropic, OpenAI -- are growing at an enormous pace. The problem is you went from a dynamic where their customer base was like every corporation in the world and therefore they had fragmentation and it was a really good business. Going forward it's highly unlikely that LLMs are not concentrated in the hands of 4 or 5 companies. Those companies right now, are cashflow negative, and therefore they're looking for compute anywhere they can get it. In the next 5 to 10 years, they'll be generating enormous amounts of free cash flow. When that happens, they're likely to insource the compute. Right now, they look at the hyperscalers as more of a financing mechanism. But I don't think they are better than the LLMs at building data centers. Then you have this dynamic of neoclouds. I don't think they're going away like people thought, because they're better at running GPU clusters than the traditional hyperscalers, and there's a lot of interest from NVIDIA to make sure that their customer base is diversified."

#WATCH | Delhi: On Pakistan to boycott its match against India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, former Indian Cricketer Atul Wassan says, "I feel a little sorry for them, and I'm also a little surprised. What do they want? As they say, "When destruction is imminent, wisdom fails." Because if Pakistan doesn't play this match and concede the points, and then you meet India later, will you still not play? So if you've decided this, then you haven't left ICC with any option. ICC will have to kick them out because it would be blackmail, wouldn't it?... They don't know the financial loss will be significant. They are trying to find every possible way to spite India, to retaliate against India... They don't understand that they're heading towards ruin. Maybe the Pakistani players will relax, because they know they're going to lose anyway, so the humiliation will be less. But even if you lose, sanctions will be imposed, you won't get the participation fee... They have a misconception that ICC and BCCI are the same, but they're not. Just because we have Jay Shah being the head of the ICC doesn't mean that the BCCI owns the ICC..."

Maria Bartiromo learns from James Comer that the informant that made the alleged allegations against Joe Biden, can’t be located by Republicans. They have an “informant” but they supposedly can’t find him. REP. JAMES COMER: Well, we we're hopeful that we can find the appropriate remember these informants or kind of in the spy business so they don't make a habit of being seen a lot or being high profile or anything like that. We have basic information with respect to what the informant has alleged, and it's very serious. It alleges that Joe Biden, when he was vice president, was involved in a quid pro quo with a foreign country in exchange for for foreign aid. This is a very serious accusation. All the FBI has to do is say, yeah, we looked into it and it wasn't a credible informant. But they won't answer our questions. MARIA BARTIROMO: Are there whistleblowers or informants missing right now? REP. JAMES COMER: Well with with with what we've investigated and the people that we've tracked down going back to the CFC. The two main players in that business, as well as all of the Americans that were involved in the different buying influence peddling schemes, as well as the Serbian national, the nine of the ten people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens. They're one of three things, Maria. They're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing. Are they literally basing all of these allegations off a whistleblower who notified them of an informant who may not actually exist or at the least they don’t know where he/she is? What do you make of all this?

The World Cup is in full swing, but which teams most closely match their country's native people, and which ones have been enriched? It might seem silly to focus on this, but it is remarkable just how much the England team has changed in a few decades. And football teams are held up by leftists as a reason why mass immigration is an unalloyed good as it allows the best players from around the world to come to the most lucrative markets. But when this ends up with European national teams comprised mainly of Africans it exposes the nonsense of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. I asked a left-wing mate why DEI wasn't applied to football teams, to ensure that all ethnicities, genders, weights and abilities were represented, and he said, "Well, that's stupid because then they wouldn't have the best footballers." Well, what do you think happens in all other areas of life when meritocracy is cast aside and diversity is crowbarred in? And should national teams be treated like a global boardroom? Nationhood involves ancestry, culture, language, upbringing, memory and shared inheritance.
