Eh, it will be fine ... Vega 10 is 484 mm^2@14nm so it'll be a long while that sort of performance will become mainstream. The only reason to prefer newer GPU microachitectures is from a feature set perspective rather than a performance perspective ... (render target reads (Gen 9), independent thread scheduling (Volta), underestimate conservative rasterization (Gen 9/Vega), or maybe even GPU software rasterization(programmable rasterization stage!)) PS5 wishlist should include the following ... (EUV should be cost efficient by then) built on Samsung's 4nm MCBFETs (APU should be produced for 2021 release and should give 4x density improvement) 20 TFlop/s 16GB HBM (gen 3) 2 TB/s bandwidth (quad channel) Don't feel like we need much more DRAM capacity anymore since memory bandwidth is a big bottleneck going into the future with things such as incoherent ray traversal for ray tracing or volumetric rendering ... |
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll pick whatever is the second best choice of a mobile APU for the PS5.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
