TSMC 7nm isn't EUV at the moment though is it? I thought they were going to transition to 7nm EUV or make that transition at 5nm otherwise.

Their transitioning to EUV next year with their upgraded 7nm logic node which will be known as 7nm+ and it would coincide with the potential release of a new systems during the last quarter of the year ... 

Heck, Samsung is already there with EUV and products launching early next year based on it ... 

Sure but if Ryzen 2 is on 7nm next year, assuming that PS5 will end up on 7nm+ by years end seems like a far stretch. We also don't know what kind of capacity TSMC will have at that time. If they can't guarantee 10's of millions of chips early on in the gen on that process, with high yields, then PS won't use it.

Samsung is a different company with their own foundries so that doesn't mean much in terms of TSMC other than competition. How widely available and expensive are those products though?
