| Intrinsic said: The OG XB1 APU had a chip size (with all of its 1.2TF GPU) of 368mm sq. The 16nm XB1X (with a 6TF GPU) has a chip size of 360mm sq. Its not only smaller than the OG XB1 but its drawing less power and generating less heat. The reason MS went with a more expensive cooling solution is cause they wanted to go for that super slim form factor. Hence its even smaller than the OG XB1 and the PS4pro. |
Although I agree with you. I disagree with this particular statement.

| Intrinsic said: Not all TFs are the same. Basically, 6TF in whatever GPU architecture used in 2020 will be better than the 6TF found in the polaris architecture today. And this is something else a lot of posters here aren't taking into consideration. |
And it annoys me to no end.
| Intrinsic said: Lol no..... consoles wouldn't channel their investment more towards an SSD when making a premium console. The bulk of whatever is spent would be on a better GPU and a very slightly better CPU and more Ram. |
You are starting to sound more like me as time goes on. - When did that happen?
| CrazyGPU said: I will add that also, in doing what you are explaining, they can perfectly run 1/4 th of the cores and mantain compatibility with PS4 if the hardware is close enough. As they did with PS4 pro. I think this time it will be a brand new architecture. |
Or. They could simply not and use some extra performance to... I dunno. Let games run better? Xbox does it.
If the GPU ISA has deviated significantly from the GCN chip in the Playstation 4, they can use the power of abstraction to negate any compatibility issues.
