| thismeintiel said: I get you're a HW enthusiast, but maybe you should keep up with HW news. Vega 20 is 2018, which could possibly be put in a PS5 if it gets cheap enough the following year. Navi isn't coming til 2019, now. No way it'll be cheap enough if the PS5 is also coming in 2019. I agree we may get something better than a Ryzen 1700, though, personally I'm not expecting it. Also, if you're a HW enthusiast, why care about a console that's built with as much power as they can stick in without going over the $399 price tag? Stick with PC. |
I think you might be a little confused. Navi and Vega are still set for their release dates. Vega 20 is another chip entirely and that could be dropping as late as 2019. Vega 10 will be launching this year with the Radeon RX500 series.
We might even see a dual-GPU Vega 10 chip this year as well.
AMD *has* to update it's entire GPU lineup with a new name (Aka. RX 500 series) on a yearly cadence for OEM's, which means at-least a couple of new GPU's.

When it comes to these things, I tend to have a track record of being right more often than not. ;)
********************
As for why I want consoles to have more power? That's simple. Consoles are the lowest common denominators.
They are the lowest performing platforms that mainstream AAA games are built for. The better they are, the better PC games graphically become.
Besides, I personally prefer newer chip architectures over older, antiquated designs as the older designs don't leverage new techniques and efficiency gains.
