Since the PS5 is 1,024 bits, will Sony do the historical move of doubling bits to 2,048 or will they try to save money with only 50% more bits? Perhaps they will go with 1,536 bits for the handheld and 2,048 bits for the console?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

it'll have all the bits you desire

The price will be so high it will be sold to us bit by bit.

Bits?

Will PS6 have bits?

 

[Bojji]

PS5 is 64 bits, a major step down from PS2 that was 128 bit.

PS3 was 2TF - PS4 only 1.8TF. Sony downgrades their consoles all the time...

 

[Zathalus]

Not sure where you got that number from. The PS5 has a 64bit CPU.

Bits being a defining aspect of performance hasn't been a thing for decades.

Bits of what?

Bits of what?

Bits and pieces.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

If it doesn't have blast processing, then I don't care how many bits it has.

 

[Venom Snake]

Over 2000 bits...

my smartphone camera has more megapixels than yours

Without competition in console market i would say 50% but they are also competing with aggressive pc sales now, but with the memory issues and costs they have to double it to keep pace.

[Putonahappyface]

2,048 pieces.

[RoboFu]

nothing has more than 64 bits. and really that is just 8bytes thats readable as one. so 8 x 8 bits = 64 bits

everything is still 8 bits at heart

 

[yogaflame]

Bit?

 

[Physiognomonics]

We stopped counting bits with Dreamcast (128 bits).

Didn't you get the memo?

 

[uncreativename]

 

[sncvsrtoip]

If you mean memory bus width it will have less: 256 bit ps5 vs 160 bit ps6

 

[Memati187]

2,048 pieces.

But how many duct-taped Gamecubes will the PS6 be is the real question.

 

[calico]

 

[Gamer79]

Bits was just a 8/16bit era thing.

 

[ReasonBeing]

16x the bits, it just works

 

[Gamer79]

Not sure if trolling but the PS5 is only a 64 bit system. After 64bits it becomes irrelevant, just look at the binary counting system to know why. 32 bit has limitations of around 4 billion sectors but 64 has more sectors than you will ever need for the foreseeable future.

 

[Dorfdad]

I mean the entire point of this thread is to be silly right!?

LOL, where did the 1024 bits come from. I'd love to see the math on that one.

I'm excited for the upcoming 2048-bit generation.

I think you're the expert on bits these days.

 

[Soodanim]

I'm disappointed by everyone that doesn't completely agree with OP

 

[German Shocks]

I think you're the expert on bits these days.

According to Moore's law, the number of bits for consoles doubles for each generation.

So yes, the PS6 should have 2048 bits.

 

[TheLikou]

I miss calling the consoles using the bits without understanding anything about it. Cut back to young me being impressed with the Nintendo 64 for it being 64-bits or when the magazines started talking about the 128-bits era. It was the biggest word of it's time, everyone talked about the bits.
