You're aware that reducing the process to 14nm makes the processors cheaper to produce (more yeilds per wafer) right? That's why the new GTX 1080 has a starting price of around 600$ while the previous architecture was way more expensive.

Do I want them to also improve CPU? Hell yeah. Do they need to increase the RAM size? For 1080p and even VR, not needed.

Would I pay 600$ for a massive improvement? Absolutely.

Will they sell it for 600$? I doubt it.

Will it be polaris based? 100% sure

If Sony want make reely powerfull new ps4,  they have to wait HBM mémory and vegas ...  impossible in 2016... If Scorpio comes in 2017,  it could use this new technologie... 

Sony will be in a bad position,  Microsoft will say " look, i have the big one"...  In 2018/2019 Sony will arrived  in late with PS5....

At time, Sony juste need keeps hand,  and wait Microsoft show his cards... 

You are mixing personal opinion with the facts as they are. I can have thoughts on how they should keep the ball rolling, but it has been confirmed by several independent sources that the neo is real and what type of hardware it is. It's not my opinion they are using polaris, it's a fact that they are.

On the HBM memory, that is absolutely useless for the type of machines available. They are targeting 1080p rendering (x2 for VR) and there is no way in hell they could take advantage of HBM. If MS really wants to push VEGA then they would indeed be going for a new gen. Starting from 0 and forget backwards compatibility out of the box with previous titles.

Maybe they will go for it, but that's not what's being discussed now
