| Mr Puggsly said: I think Sony is going to try to hit the sweet spot of $399 again, it clearly works for them. If so though, can it be signfiicantly more powerful than Scorpio? |
Yes.
Why? 3 years from now, the manufactureing plants that make the chips, will be able to make 7nm chips (vs the 16nm ones used today).
That results in a smaller chip, being as capable as the ones today, but costing less.
Not only that, typically power consumption ect drop too, meaning you can save in prices scorpio would need on bigger/more expensive PSU/Cooling.
So yes in 2020, Sony will make a Playstation 5, that ll cost 399$ and be more powerfull than a Xbox Scorpio at 499$ is today.
Xbox Scorpio is 6 Teraflops.
What will likely happend is Playstation 5 (2020), will have better cpu, and be around 10 teraflops and 100$ cheaper... however thats 3years out.
