About the bolded, do you think that an HD79xx could be more credible if done with a 22 20nm fab process?

That is, if TSMC gets it right this time.

After all, the leaked specs are from 2010, when 22/20 nm fab processes where supposed to be mature by 2013.

Pretty sure that was delayed to 2014 many months ago.

Doesn't matter anyways, a console with a something like a 7770/7850 level GPU/4GB RAM would be a beast of a console and a good leap over current gen, but some people don't seem to be satisified unless Sony and MS use GPUs that are out of the realm of possibility for a 2013 console.

What I meant is that when that document was done, in 2010, there supposed that the 20/22 nm fab process would be done and mature by 2013. The problems TSMC had with 40 and 28 nm are not something that they were expecting.

And I agree that a console with a 7850 and 4GB of RAM could do wonders. If we have a look at what they have been able to do on the Xbox360/PS3, one can only dream about what could be done with so much power and memory.
