My bold prediction is coming truer and truer. Nvidia will be the gpu in the next consoles.

Sony and Microsoft will be forced to use Nvidia in next-gen consoles because Amd gpus is just so bad compared to Nvidia.

This vega gpu needed 50% more die size(50%+ more transistors), a watercooler, hbm2 and almost twice the power (watt usage) to barely beat the geforce 1080. Expect the watercooler version have about 0-5% more performance then geforce 1080 and the non water cooler version to lose.

This card is hilariously bad, it's worse than polaris architecture (the gpu in ps4 pro and xbox one x). I don't know how AMD manage to make a card worse than their previously.

I still stand by this. Ps5 will have 4-6 ryzen cpu cores, a midrange nvidia gpu(whatever arhitecture comes after volta), 16gb gddr6 and 2 tb non-ssd drive. 2020 released time(will be using 7 nm Euv) 399$ and non backwards compatibility.

If Sony go amd gpu expect instead 2019 release date(will be using 7 nm non-Euv), 8 ryzen cpu cores, 8-9 teraflops navi gpu(might be polaris architecture if Navi is a disaster as Vega) but will be backwards compatibility.

AMD and NVidia in one console? Means problems with optimization. Smaller prize cuts then with all AMD products. Different architectures and hardware philosophes. PS5 Will be all AMD with low to middle range chips. Or NVidia GPU and 16 core ARM CPU ?

 

Amd cpu (ryzen) and nvidia gpu works great on PC, there is no reason why it should not work on console.

About smaller price cuts. That's why I meantion sony and microsoft will be forced to use nvidia gpu because amd is falling so far behind nvidia. Microsoft and Sony would rather use only AMD (an APU for 1 chip(cpu+gpu in 1chip)), but with nvidia they will be using discrete cpu and discrete gpu (2 chips). This will be slightly more expensive.

 

I don't believe arm cpu+nvidia gpu as APU. The Cpu is just to weak for going an ARM.
