It already seems like an efficient GPU and it's really inexpensive. So? Maybe we'll see a regular RX480, and a more significantly upgraded CPU? Just a thought. |
No.
Why? because I suspect the RX 480 is 135-140watts.
Its too much for a console if the GPU alone uses that much.
I think the reason its rumored to be 911mhz is to reduce the power consumption down to like 95-100watts.
Then the rest of the apu, has 30-35watts or so for the cpu portion.

Waiting a extra year, is along time.
Also it ll likely be more expensive... and by the time the Xbox One-two is out, the PS4 neo will have gone down in price.
Would you buy a Xbox 2 for 499$ when the PS4 neo is probably 349$ by then? Unless there is a big differnce in visual quality in gameplay I dont think most will.
