Opinion: Microsoft should delay Scorpio until Holiday 2018 and call it Xbox 2

I think it is funny that people think there will be some kind of magical leap between PS4/PS4 Pro, and devices with Zen, a 10 - 12TFLOP GPU, and 16GB RAM.

The only thing that is going to get us is PS4/XBO games in native 4K, and a stable frame rate.

I still 100% believe that we should see PS4 and XBO Revision 3 in 2019 - 2020 with the above mentioned specs. Let these systems fully embrace 4K and PSVR 2/Version 2 first gen VR devices at 1440p.

For real Next gen, I think 2024 is about right. Give us devices with 25 - 30TFLOP GPU, 8 Core/16 Thread CPU, 128GB of RAM, and SSD with SATA Express or m.2 NVMe. That will give us a massive leap in what is possible in 4K, and be capable of delivering a truly next gen level on both TV and VR.

Nah. PS4 times 4 times its resolution=~7.2Tflopz,  so with ~5 extra Tflopz it should be more than enough for a big leap

So if we are to get PS4 quality exclusives in 4K, PS5 needs to be a console thats only 1Tflopz stronger than Scorpio. But I dont expect Sony to bruteforce 4K. Rather, they'll probbaly hone their checkerboard rendering technique, therefore leaving much more breathing room for next gen graphical effects. The Pro with its 4.2Tflopz demonstrates its adequate enough for 4K like gaming. A console thats 3x faster should give us a next gen leap.

So PS5 launch in 2019-2020, then PS6 in 2025-2026, by then the resolution wars will end because 8K is probably gonna take decades to catch on, even movies aren't shot at that high resolution.

Scorpio is rumoured to also have checkerboarding, which means it is not a Sony technique/technology, but an AMD one. And how do you expect it to be refined?

 

Also. Not sure if you are serious or not. But your use of flops suck, you need more than just flops to hit high resolutions.
