Playstation 5 - SMT Confirmed & Sony 'Verifying' Back Compat | Threadripper TRX40 Confirmed
248Sony's official website has confirmed that its zen 2 based CPU does indeed, feature SMT. While this was expected given what we knew about its 8 cores, there was always the slight possiblity it would be disabled. So now we know that the Playstation 5 specs include a Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores / 16 Threads, an rdna (navi) based GPU and an SSD with a blu ray 4K capable drive with optical disks of up to 100GB.
The PS5 will launch next year - holiday 2020. We don't know how the PS5 specs will compare against the xbox scarletts specs yet.
AMD has launched the ryzen 5 3500X and the ryzen 9 3900 (non X)... although the ryzen 9 3900 will only be for OEMS and system integrators and the ryzen 5 3500X will only be for the chinese market.
MSI also accidently confirmed that trx40 will be the threadripper 3 / sharktooth platform.
