| KBG29 said: The console market has changed, we will be seeing new hardware from one or multiple competitors on a yearly bases. Sony and Microsoft both made the decision to go to a more consumer electronics like release cycle with PS4 and XBO when they choose standard hardware and APUs. As a result, they will be one upping each other every other year, and at times their will be head to head battles. |
That will never happen.
Now if you said we would see nw hardware at every node shrink? then I would totally agree with you.
What has made these current itterations possible is the node shrink from 28nm to 14/16nm. There is nothing happenning in the industry thats significant enough to warrant any new itterations till 7nm nodes come along.
And if the industry keeps its currnt pace, we will see node shrinks every 3-4years.
7nm nodes are due to become mainstream/available around 2019. So expect new hardware in 2020.
