| Superman4 said: It will be AMD Zen2 with 16GB GDDR6 and Vega Graphics. I would also like to see at least 128GB M.2 standard with slot for 2.5" HDD for expansion. I doubt that will happen due to price but it would be nice. I am betting it will be 802.11A/C, HDMI 2.1 and probably have 4K Blu-Ray support. Price will stay at $399 May go to $499 but I doubt it. |
if they do that it will actually cost them less soldering the nand flash chips directly onto the MB of the console.No need having two seperate storage interfaces. So they couls very well solder 240GB of nand flash onto the board connected via a PCIe link to the APU as a foem of game cache and still ship the console with a 1TB HDD. Right now a 240GB SSD is as low as $62 and a 1TB HDD is as low as $50 at retail. Obvioisly prices for sony would be significantly lower. Especially by 2020. But lookibg at those prices then its possible to have a a solution like that for a toral of under $45.
On the other hand, they could just go the exclusive M.2 route..... But right now the cheapest you can get a 500GB M.2 ssd at retail is around $139. Its a long ways to go before we can comfortably say sony can get 1TB of that for under $50.
