| DonFerrari said: PS4Pro have double power than PS4 vanilla, and still you see minimal notable gains. This super premium would have much more power probably 4-6x almost a gen difference. But the games to show it would be very few, so unless Sony do it for mindless profit without concern to have its devs showing it off, there is no point in it. |
PS4 Pro is an interesting one...
Because in Floating Point Compute, Texture Fillrate, Pixel Fillrate, Geometry performance... It more than doubles the Playstation 4 Vanilla.
But on the CPU and Bandwidth side of the equation it is significantly less...
So in Bandwidth bound scenarios it's gains are going to be really really small... And that happens more often the higher in resolution you go.
The Pro is a decent box though, no doubt about it... It's just a shame that it is held back by the launch consoles somewhat... Same issue the Xbox One X has.

To sell maybe a million more consoles than the expected end of production phase will actually sell? Keep selling the tail end PS4s a few months longer than expected? At this time we likely are at 100mio PS4s produced, and the end of producing them is already foreseeable. There is neither time nor money for such 7nm nonsense (not even talking about fractioning the userbase even more which is a bad idea right out of the gate), all they do is planning for the next system. |
Legit though, these chips would probably be cheaper keeping them on 14nm... Or the "14nm refined" node. Aka. 12nm.
7nm is expensive right now.
