PS5 To Use 11 TFLOPS GPU With 52 CUs At 1743MHz, Hints Verified Developer (original) (raw)

The PS5 rumors refuse to stop coming. While Sony has been pretty silent on their upcoming console, leakers have been going all out lately. Today, a very cryptic message was revealed by Neogaf user o’dium, who is a verified developer.

The picture shows a bird carrying a letter to Mark Cerny, the chief architect of the PS5. Nonetheless, the message is in the form of a riddle. However, resetera users got around decoding it. The rhyming scheme and the count of the coos reveal that the PS5 will have a 11.06 TFlops GPU with 52 Compute Units Clocked at 1743 Mhz. Considering the fact that RDNA2 can go to 2.0 Ghz, if they actually manage to hit that number, it may go beyond 13 Tflops. Moreover, the address might be a clue for the RAM and memory bandwidth, both being 16GB and 512GB/s respectively.

As a comparison, the SM Count of the RTX 2080 is 46 and it can manage 11.2 TFlops. The RTX 2080 Ti on the other hand, has 68 SMs and can manage over 13 Tflops. So one can expect performance between the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080Ti. With Xbox revealing stuff about the console consistently, it is just about time before Sony completely reveals the PS5.
