Yes, it's a lot of heat for a company that likes to make everything small and efficient.

But hey, if they had to do it, this is the best time to do it. The competition went safe and left open this door for Nintendo. Will they cross it? I really doubt it, but the option is there.

Oh, and I doubt anyone will jump to 14nm, at least this year. AMD has gone with GloFo and Samsung for their 14nm GPUs, how can they take care of the consoles too? They won't until next year with better yields and higher volume production. No, NX will be 28nm... but if it launches mid-to-late next year, PS4K may be 14nm.

Yeah, I expect NX to be on 28nm as well, that's why 7870 level config (1280:80:32) is probably best we can expect (or some GCN 1.2 equivalent)...14nm would be too expensive for their business strategy.

As for PS4K - I'm not sure if it would make any sense to launch it next year with just 2x GPU on 14nm - I would expect more like 3-4x, so they can do it again after 3-4 years again on 7nm and have PS5...but either way, fun times ahead for hardware aficionados.

I don't expect PS4K to be the device that some are expecting.

I think it will be just a PS4 Slim with the APU produced with the new 14nm process and with upgraded components to support for 4K media like Blu Rays and 4K streaming. It can also bring a small speed bump to the CPU and GPU, like they did in the past with the PSP, but I don't think Sony is fool enough to alienate the current PS4 userbase with a new and more powerful console.

And you're very optimistic with the 7nm process. I know that Intel and TSMC use different nomenclatures for their processes, but with Intel is struggling with 10nm and given TSMC's past experiences, I think 14/16 and 10nm will stay with us for a while.
