Doesn't someone say this every single year?

Yup :)

Haha, thanks for this... I knew I had read something like this literally every single year. I honestly don't even know why they bother.

Moores law of course. It's bound to happen. Will it fully happen in 2017? I have my doubts. But make no mistake, it's going to happen.

In terms of real world performance, I dont think it ll be possible in 2017.

Maybe once they have perfected 5nm node?

Intel "should" have 5nm in 2022.

Arm? abit lateron, but Id like to see what the ARM chip of 2024 looks like.

By then? they might be able to do a mobile phone equal to a PS4.

Yh sure no doubt.... but if you are looking at that then you also seem to be missing something. By then, what do you think consoles would be able to do with a 5nm chip? :)

And thats whats funny about this, and why I don't get why these mobile processor types even bother. If we just do a direct scale of the PS4 but using a 5nm process, we would have a GPU that will be pushing at least 28TF!!!!! And lets not talk about memory types and bandwidths...etc. Its simple really, using the same tech, console will have a bigger chip than mobile processors could ever have and those bigger chips will also be designed to draw significantly more power and even have cooling fans etc..... things a mobil processor just isn't designed to be.
