"Aim" means they haven't done anything yet, and unless they're shooting for a $800+ console, 6tf isn't feasible. No matter how reliable the source is.

This is wrong and has been shown to be wrong several times. 

The Polaris 10 is a 32 CU part that is a mid-budget GPU for $299.99 retail this year. It clocks in at 5.5 TFLOP. This is actually cheaper than the 7870 GPU that the PS4 is based on was in 2012 when it released a year ahead of the PS4/XB1. 

Give it a minor bump to 36 CUs and you get 6 TFLOPS.

There's no reason for a console with a Polaris 10 GPU to cost $800 or even close. Try half that. 

6 TFLOPS is nothing amazing. PS4 @ 1.8 TFLOPS is old as shit now, people need to realize that, by fall 2017 that'll be 4 four years old. 

If you think it will be affordable, more power to you. But sitting at $300 on just the GPU when that's the cost of a PS4... Microsoft must be aiming for premium users. Which would be weird, because those already exist. 

 

They're called PC gamers.
