if they go for premium cooler and stuff like Xbox one X, If they do, and if 7 nm is ready, they can perfectly reach 12 Teraflops as you explained up there. then you get 8,4 x 1.139% = 9,57 Teraflops. With a new architecture, probably more. Let´s give the same treatment for 12 Teraflops Xbox one X like machine. x 1.139 = 13,67 Teraflops. And the magic marketing numbers are 10, for being the first 10 Tflop machine or more than 12, that´s 2 times Xbox One X. So my first estimation in 2014 was 12-14 Tf. My actual one is 10-12 Tf, but with your calculation my old estimation can be achievable too. I still think that 15 high, it also depend on the bandwith to feed it. A wide bus translates in more power consumption. But I see your reasons now and I think is perfectly doable. I hope they get there. A 14 Tf PS5 would be 7,6 times more powerfull than original PS4. A nice jump for 4k and VR. |
Thanks. Now about them going for the PS4pro double..... I think that is strategically impossible. Whatever the case here, we are looking at at least double the PS4pro or XB1X. Now it would just be a flat out bad business decision to double the PS4pro when we all know that MS will at the very least double the XB1X. And if we use your calculations, we are talking about at leat 9.5TF vs 13.6TF. Thats almost 3TF worth of muscle being left on the table. That would be marketing and design suicide for sony.
I do agree with you though that 15TF is a little high, I mean there are a number of factors that could prevent them from pushing their designs that far... reliability and longevity being two of the most important amongst them. So its possible that even if the hardware can hit 15TF, the could settle for something like 12-13TF.
But this comes down to what MS is gonna do. Neither of them is going to let the other have any meaningful performance advantage out of the gate this time around. MS knows what it cost them this gen, sony knows how it favored them.
