I wrote down these specs in another post recently:

"I expect a 4 core cpu with 8 threads (2,8ghz), 9 TF gpu, 16 GB gddr6 (448 GB/s bandwidth) and a mechanical hard drive for laptops (140+ mb/s read speed)."

But I'm changing that, I now expect a 7 core with 14 thread ryzen cpu (most likely zen2 will the architecture) with 2,3 ghz clock speed. With 6 cores available for games and 1 core is for the OS. Rest of the specs remain the same in my prediction.

A 4 core cpu would just not be good enough for next-gen system especially with 1 core being taken by the OS. If you wondering why exactly 7 cores instead of 8 cores it's cause it will be cheaper to produce with 1 core disabled.

SMT (2 threads by core) is not ideal for a console, apparently it's kind of random. I think it would make much more sense (and be less expensive anyways) for 8 cores, 8 threads. Also BC with PS4 would be much easier like this.

AMD produce their CPU by chunk of 4. So it would be 6 cores (with 2 disabled) or 8.

Yep, edited my post again. It will probably be 8/8 core zen cpu with 2,6 ghz. I'm not certain you're 100% correct but I believe Sony will stick with simple specs for ps5.
