I really don't think that is going to matter if the performance isn't immediately noticeable.

"Without hardware acceleration, this work could have been done in the shaders but would have consumed over 13 TFLOPs alone. For the Xbox Series X, this work is offloaded onto dedicated hardware and the shader can continue to run in parallel with full performance. In other words, Series X can effectively tap the equivalent of well over 25 TFLOPs of performance while ray tracing." - Microsoft

Mesh shaders, VRS, and Machine Learning.

To my knowledge Sony has yet to talk about these and DF has requested information on them and haven’t received any.

It doesn’t matter how “custom” it is...if these features are not there or ones like them then they are not full RDNA 2.

"Xbox Series X|S are the only next-generation consoles with full hardware support for all the RDNA 2 capabilities AMD showcased today."

"In our quest to put gamers and developers first we chose to wait for the most advanced technology from our partners at AMD before finalizing our architecture. Now, with the upcoming release of Xbox Series X|S and the new AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs, developers have a common set of next-generation tools and performance capabilities that will empower them to deliver transformative gaming experiences across both console and PC."

This just goes to show that anyone who calls themselves a games journalist is a fraud. Let’s be honest, many of us here have been saying this for months. Even the Sony Graphics architecture engineer said as much but whenever it was mentioned we were made out to be conspiracy theorist’s.

Then you should probably watch the video.

.....and FYI, Sony and AMD collaborated on the PS5's GPU. Meaning the feature set didn't exclusively come from AMD, as Sony had a hand in it, too. I mentioned this several times in my previous posts.......but you were so busy laughing. :laugh:
This aged well. RDNA 3(/2).

But if it has a feature that goes beyond RDNA 1 and 2, then it's obviously something else entirely.
 



MS specifically say they held out for the latest RDNA2 tech. They’re saying the Series consoles are the only next generation consoles with hardware support for VRS, Mesh Shading and so on. Maybe Sony will be able to emulate it via software but it won’t do it at the hardware level and surely you know how inefficient that is in comparison. Obviously Sony was locked into their APU before AMD developed the hardware to support such features.
 
Just to piss on the system wars a bit...

The tools this gen are well behind that of last gen when there was less next gen feature sets to consider. This gen, it took 3 years to see the benefits of next gen hardware on a consistent basis. By then, we were looking at mid gen refreshes. That was without a pandemic, more mature tools and Unreal Engine being fully ready to go with the tech it was demoing.

We don't know how long it will take devs to use this stuff or who outside of 1st party will. You'll never be able to prove a variance on a first party basis since it's quality is more impacted by their tools and talent than hardware.

As someone who has Xbox as my primary platform, the nice thing thing to hear for me is that Microsoft's 1st party can start to R&D on hardware accelerated features earlier. In the end, I believe it's the mid gen refreshes where hardware accelerated physics, ray tracing and ML actually pay off. Microsoft 1st party just has a little more to experiment with until then. Regardless of which side you're on, you'll be trading in your consoles about the same time the winner can be verified. In other words, we're fighting a dumb war here.
