I just wanted to drop off a link to AMD's road map to give everyone an idea of where things are heading the next few years.

It is very possible that PS5 could launch on 7nm+ if it hits in 2020. I think a PS5 with discrete Ryzen 3 and Next Gen AMD GPU on 7nm+ would offer a full next gen jump.  

It makes since to me that the PS5 would launch on whatever AMD is considering its Next Gen GPU tech. Whatever it is, AMD will likely be itterating on it for the many years to come. It would be a bad move to deliver a product that is ment to be relivent for 5 - 10 years on tech that will be loosing support before it even launchs. Going forward, they will have a much easier time cost cutting if they are using tech that is still in development.

This is of course if they stick with AMD for PS5. With they way PS4 has sold, I am sure they will get some very nice contract offers to move to ARM, Intel, Nvidia, and anyone else. I hope they stick with AMD though.



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.
