| KBG29 said: If consoles launch in 2021, then they should be significantly stonger than any GPU on the market today. By 2021 7nm will be very mature, and with improved architecture 20+TFLOPs should be easy. We should also be able to have SSD as a standard, and a very large pool of HBM RAM. Remember also, every PlayStation to date has had ~16x the RAM of its predecessor. That would mean next gen consoles should have 128GB of RAM. It shounds crazy right now, but by 2021 it will make sense. Not only do we need to go from 2K to 4K assest, but we also have to do it twice for VR. Next gen consoles need to have a massive boost in power, memory, storage, and speed. |
More memory isn't all that ideal, I'd rather have faster memory ... (PS4 would still be more power if it only had 4GB of GDDR5 so I'd prefer PS5 be 16GB of HBM3 than 32/64 GB of GDDR6.)
We're good on memory capacity as it is since devs are still going to be chasing prettier graphics at 1080p & 30fps ... (I can only tell that their dreaming of doing ray tracing.)
I still doubt SSD's will be cheap enough for consoles, needs to be no more than $0.03/GB otherwise we'll cheap out on other more important components ...
And 7nm will be old news by 2021, we'll be going to 5/4nm if Samsung can deliver ...
