So no, they wont double the compute cores in the XB1X (going from 40 to 80CU) then downclock it to 1050mhz. Thats counterproductive. At the very least it will run at the same clock or even higher. To not do so would mean that the console is prioritizing design over function. And thats just not how consoles are made. A 12TF GPU is pretty much they least you can expect on a 7nm process. 

 

Bah confused the CUs, I meant twice of the ps4 pro. 72 CU clocked at 1050 mhz. This just an example but I believe it will be close

to this.

 

 

  1. I have explained the GPU thing.
  2. If using GDDR6 and 16GB of it, unless for some strange reason sony decides to underclock the Ram, or even crazier insist on using a smaller bus than the standard 256-bit bus in an attempt to bottle neck it..... then the least you will get is 500GB/s of bandwidth. And thats lowballing it.

I dont expect sony to go with the fastest gddr6 memory speed because of cost and power consumption. On original ps4 they didn't

either go for the fastest gddr5.

 

 

Lol.... No. Look at it this way. This isn't another PS4pro to XB1X battle. Not a mid gen refresh. We are talking start of gen hardware here. There is not a chance in hell that MS lets sony release a new generation console a year earlier. Not a chance. Even with sony having won this gen, they would not let MS launch a year early either. And you really think sony will release in 2019, while bing the market leader and making a ton of money from the PS4 all the while launching a console that would have a GPU that is onna be as much as 3-4TF outpaced in as little as a year? Why?

 

2019 is a good launch time for sony. It will give them 1 year headstart as you say. Everything will be ready by 2019, 7nm tranistors,

Gddr6, ryzen cpu and navi gpu. As for microsoft I don't believe they will launch another console 2 years later after their last one.

But I made a previous post that sony might launch in 2020.
 

Secondly, and more importantly..... if the PS4 and XB1 should have thought you anything, its that the next gen consoles will also be very similar in their hardware. More so next gen than they were this gen. Armed with that then you should know they are waiting for the exact same things before releasing their new hardware. 

Looking at the XB1X, and the fact that its more similar design wise to the OG PS4 than it is to the OG XB1, it should be relatively easy guessing exactly what to expect from the next gen consoles. 

Umm the specs are very similiar, I just believe Microsoft will push them TF and bandwidth speed without adding to much to the manufacturing cost to try get a slight edge over sony so they can market "The world most powerful console". The way to do it is

with slightly more gpu cores and higher clock speed than sony will go for.
 

I added my responses in the quote format. I don't know how to split up the quote format into smaller pieces.
