Yep.  Cerny already made a step forward with PS4 PRO, so it sounds natural they will continue with that on PS5.   From the "leak" : Memory: 24GB - 20GB GDDR6 at 880Gb/s - 4GB DDR4 reserved for OS; is this kind of solution too costy ?  If you ask me, 20GB GDDR6 at 880Gb/s would be fantastic for gaming, and considering the life cycle has been lengthened lately.   Could be feasible ?  

20GB GDDR6 at 880GB/s isn't feasible to me. That would mean they are pushing the individual chips to 20Gbs. Which doesn't just sound complicated but as doesn't sound stable. Highest I see them going is with 16Gbs chips. Another thing is the cost of making a PCB with a 320bit bus. 

I mean they could do 20GB on a 320bit bus with 16Gbs chips and get 640GB/s and honestly I see that as the highest they would go. As for the OS Ram... anyway we spin it x amount DDR3/DDR4 will always cost less than the same x amount of GDDR6 RAM. So adding 4GB of DDR3/DDR4 will cost less than having 4GB more of GDDR6. And LPDDR4 is even cheaper, its bandwidth peaks at around 32GB/s which is mre than enough to run a OS and OS based apps like netflix, youtube, browsers.....etc. 

  There's also been a recent development which refers to GDDR6: 24GB on a 384bit bus can reach 864 GB/s.

 I can't wait for an Official announcement.   It cannot come soon enough.
