No Magnus discussion? I guess information kept changing over the past couple days that any discussion may have been immediately outdated lol. But it would appear that Tom from MLiD has confirmed what chip is for who now and seems pretty confident. It looks like PlayStation is moving on from the obvious Shakespeare naming and has moved to constellations, with Orion (PS6) and Canis (handheld) and Magnus is Xbox but with a 192-bit bus

There's a lot about the Magnus leak that doesn't make sense. If we have nothing to add and can't verify the leak or have confidence in it for now, there's no real point discussing it.

It feels like we are in for another couple years of “switch pro” rumours lol and we know even if something gets confirmed, it can still change last minute. Ex. PS4 RAM and PS5 RT. But sometimes speculating is the most fun part of a new generation haha

Hey Digital Foundry team! Apologize for posting this question here. I’m trying to figure out the best audio output settings for my PS5 Pro when using an LG S95QR soundbar on LG G4 OLED TV. I remember you guys had a discussion a couple of years back about Mark Cerny Dolby Atmos system update on PS5. Could you share your latest recommendation on which audio format to use for the best surround sound or Dolby Atmos supported games (even though it's not technically native Dolby Atmos but using Tempest 3D audio) to output as similar experience on soundbar system? And thank you for advise. Cheers!
