 Even the low end Ryzen mobile APU chips are in the 15w range and are really impressive in how well they can handle games. Like not that far from PS4 impressive. At 720p they should play perfectly on a PS handheld/hybrid. I don't see how a $300 PS "Switch" isn't possible in the next year or two, assuming they already have something preliminary they can work off of, on top of seeing Switch's design and success.

This is what has me very excited, and makes me think they will be able to pull this off on X86.  The Ryzen 7 2700U already has the CPU power to run circles around PS4, and it has more GPU power than the XBO, and this at 15watts on 14nm FinFET. Going to 7nm FinFET, which should be available in 2019, there is a very real possability of a PS4 Portable or a PS5 Line of devices that includes a Portable. At any rate there will be more than enough power to run PS4 games, and keep the power window under 10Watts, using X86 which is ideal for compatibility and work load. I really hope something is in the works, and Sony killed off Vita support in anticipation of unifying their home and mobile offerings under one architecture, one OS.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
