New PS5 "Leak" Shot Down By PlayStation Insider

3.5
Towards the end of 2019, a PlayStation 5 "leak" surfaced claiming that the PS5 would come packing 9.2 teraflops. That said, a prominent industry insider has come out and suggested that this figure is a load of bollocks. More specifically, Reset Era user Kleegamefan, who has been revealing tidbits about the next-gen consoles for awhile now, suggested they don't buy the leak, especially because it conflicts with previous leaks.

Last year, a leak dubbed the "GitHub Oberon Leak" surfaced on the Internet, and it's widely considered the most reliable leak to date, as it has been backed by many, including other insiders and even Digital Foundry. In other words, if there's one leak people are putting their money on, it's this leak, and as the aforementioned Reset Era user points out, this newest leak doesn't match up.

Of course, PlayStation hasn't talked about the specs of the PS5 yet, so all "leaks" pertaining to this information should be taken with a massive grain of salt. That said, it sounds like you can drop at least some salt and drop this latest leak that claims the console will only be working with 9.2 teraflops.

Currently, many are projecting the Xbox Series X will come packing 12 teraflops. Meanwhile, there's been many reports and rumors -- some from verifiable sources, others from the depths of the rumor mill -- claiming the PS5 is the more powerful of the next-gen consoles. In other words, if this is the case, then it probably won't have anything less than 12 teraflops itself.

The PlayStation 5 is set to release sometime holiday 2020. Right now, we don't know much about the console, including how much it will cost, what specs it will be working with, and what games it will have at launch.

i dont believe leaks and rumors because they all conflict with eachother, only person i trust now after rumors of the cod 4 reboots name is jason schreier only trust worthy person because he shot down my assumption of the name for that game, so if it says something about the ps5 and xbox series x(stupid name mind you) id believe it.

anyone else just pulling nonsense outta of their butt is either lying or isnt giving the full scoop, and reset era is untrust worthy all they do is complain about the most stupidest things, and plot to get some youtuber ban or something like that, playstation insider now thats a news site if im not mistaken about all things ps? id somewhat would believe ps insider over reset era anyday.

speeds mean nothing really, but we all know the rumored specs arent 1:1 as theres no official word like the post says, sony hasnt said anything about the specs, but yeah we all know its the same specs as the xbox series x, either with boosted apu clock speeds or stock clock speeds of their custom apus.

but yeah reset era kids like to talk from their butt and claim theyre right and everyone else is wrong.

but yeah would make sense for sony to be the most powerful console for the 2nd time and doesnt make any sense for microsoft to have a less powerful console again
