Did u miss crytek demonstration of Real time ray tracing solution for Cryengine 5.5's which is API and hardware agnostic and running on current gen GPUs. Do u have any doubt Sony's WWS will have a problem coming up with their own Ray tracing solution for their inhouse Engines given the right hardware?

PS1 games would be a huge plus to me. Just the whole backlog would be nice. No halfbaked PS3 BC and we are good.

I think they mean more in the sense of a games being re-released. Take Halo MCC. There is little fathomable reason to make a Xbox Next version of the game when there are still XB1 versions that are BC with the new hardware. For most games, the power difference would require nothing more than a patch, not a complete from a ground up re-release which are usually spurned  unless they expect big sales. Xbox One's hand curated BC announcements did well to encourage the resale of old 360 games, I think that is much more a possibility going forward.

Remake/Remaster culture heavily benefited from the loss of full BC consoles in the last 2 gens. Without it I think their existence is questionable.

Skyrim just simply CANNOT make a PS5 version when the PS4 version will work perfectly fine. They would have to be adding some actual new content and or features to make that worthy and I question if even that could appeal to the audience to get them to buy it a 3rd time when they already have reasonably compatible version.

I stated in a previous thread that I too think the era of Remasters is almost about over because most of the biggest have been remade already in last 10 years, most anyway and the era of the Pro Systems means games are patched for upgrades all the time.

Apple can allow packing them closer together, becasue of the lower clock speeds. Bulk processes, as they are used in mobile chips, are packed closer together as the heat from the different chips doesn't matter much. But on a chip with high clock speeds and high TDP, they simply can't do so without overheating the transistors, and with it the whole chip. That's the main difference between HPP (it's called HPP or HP+, for High Power Plus, not HPC, though HPC (High Power Computing) are certainly one of the target markets) and bulk processes, and the reason why there are several different processes per node for every Fab.

An 8 core Zen 2 with 80 CU Navi could technically come down to 300-400mm² on a 7nm process, but then don't expect it to beat the One X by much, as it would be severely clock speed limited (As in, about 2 Ghz for the CPU and 1Ghz for the GPU maximum)

Well from my understanding it wont be native 8k support just like PS4 Pro 4k support, this will be sony next iteration of their check boarding rendering, which will be beneficial for VR and also Cheap AA solution via super sampling an upscale 8k image. 

AMD is lounching NAVI at E3. Sooo....PS5 in march?

this is so exciting, I also wonder what will be MS GPU solution could it be Navi?, Although I wont be surprised if its heavily customized 7nm Vega. As Amd has stated that Navi was built for Sony..

Not sure if someone already corrected this but I believe the PSN number you are referring to is the revenue & you're comparing to Nintendo's profit - so apples and oranges!

For the life of me I could never understand why PS1 games were not available on PS4, surely the emulation involved is tiny/easy now. They are missing out of huge amounts of revenue to be made off classic games.

... basically I just want to play and own the Discworld series without spending £70-100 on ebay. :P

Exactly. There was no reason for them to not just pour it all onto the PS4. It sucks. They also had PS2 games.. but they pretty much forgotten about adding more to it. It's crayz, considering the huge backlog of the system. So much money could be made. The selection now is good but not enough. Very little to choose from tbh.
