Sergiodaly, the problem with your prediction isn't cost but power consumption and heat dissipation. A 180 watt GPU at 28 nm processing will not be 100 watt next year even with upcoming 22/20 nm processing.

that is why i use the term, modified
they can bring the GPU clock speed down and bring the memories speed down... also, that power output is for the entire card, and here sony will only use the GPU, and mems, the rest could be taken down or rearranged in the motherboard...

they cut by half the power used by ps3 from the 1st fat to the 2nd slim... until then same things could be done to improve the power usage!

lots can happen until then!

So...basically a mid-range 7xxx and not a high end 7950 like you suggested?

They're not going to magically cut down the power consumption on a 150 - 200 watt GPU to stick it in a 2013 console.

Viper is right, you people asking for 7900/ GTX 680 equivalent GPUs are dreaming.
