I'm going to guess the Vega 64 is what the PS5 is going to be rocking. Of course, I'm going to guess it'll be somewhat customized with a few advancements in tech made along the way. So, ~6.5X-7X more powerful than the OG PS4 and 3X more powerful than the Pro. Add in a much better Zen or Zen+ CPU and 16GB of RAM. I'd say that's good enough for a generation leap.

Not enough for next gen. Every PlayStation console has had ~10 - 12x increase in CPU/GPU power and a 16x increase in RAM. What you are describing sounds like a PS4.5, as the Pro is basically a PS4.1. 

As for the OP. We are starting to reach the point when PC gaming looks interesting to me during the console cycle. I know the idea behind the Pro and the X is to stop people from going PC, but they need to offer something more high end IMO. I would love a $999.99 XBO or PS4 that can stand toe to toe with a 1800X + RX 64 PC.

I will be buying the XOX this holiday. If Sony can not deliver something next year (PS4 Premium or PS5), then I will seriously have to consider a new PC.

I don't get that logic. There is no chance for a PS5 before 2019 earliest. Why don't you just skip the XOX and just go for a PC to complement a PS4Pro..?! by far the best option. Best of both worlds imho.
