To early to tell what drives they will use, but it will be whatever is cost effective.

Once you have transferred enough data, then the rest can be streamed in.
Plus... Loading 16GB of Ram is on top of what is already loaded... Don't be surprised if 4GB+ is reserved for the OS/Background tasks, which pushes that total to 20GB... Plus the initial load-up of a few Gigabytes once you have launched the game and gotten to the game menu... And well. You get the idea.
| KBG29 said: HDD's can have a nice send off with XOX and a PS4 Premium. 16GB of RAM would be perfect for a full 4K PS4. Next gen needs SSD and 64GB RAM minimum, or preferably 128GB. |
16GB is the mid-range on PC at the moment. Hopefully by 2020 that ends up being 32GB, which is likely the upper limit of what to expect next-gen.
Consoles are at the mercy of what the PC offers. If the PC stagnates, then so do consoles.
| KBG29 said: If Sony tries to label a 4 Core/8 thread Ryzen APU, with 10 -12Tflops of GPU power, 16GB of RAM, and an HDD as PS5, it will do major damage to the brand. The mass market doesn't want half step devices. Save that stuff for the hardcore, deliver true next gen machines to the main stream. |
I would hope for an octo-core CPU in 2020 at a minimum.
Ryzen will be old and outdated by then, you would be looking at Ryzen 3/4 by then on the PC.
Flops doesn't tell us how powerful a GPU is.
