| Kerotan said: Any tech heads out there know if this technology is any closer to being used in a ps4? I believe Sony won't release a ps4 super slim or pro slim until they can use the 7nm tech.
Also let's say ps5 is out in 2.5 years. Will that use 7nm aswell or can they go lower? |
I would expect such a console next year if it were to happen.
| HollyGamer said: 7nm to 5 nm is still possible for cheaper price , below then that it's also possible but it will be expensive (moor law/ not worth it) . So i believe they will using 7 nm (it was previously mention by Digital foundry ) another reason is AMD still struggling on 5 nm size. |
It's worth mentioning that these are often hybrid geometries that have been embellished for marketing purposes.
| JRPGfan said: Not just AMD everyone in the world is. "Intel is once again delaying the release of its next-generation 10nm Cannon Lake processors, with mass production on the chips now expected for 2019 instead of the end of 2018." |
Intels 10nm is going to be superior to TSMC's 7nm.

| Lafiel said: no, as I said, the 5nm is facing lots of problems right now (that won't be resolved for years) and those will just get more complex in 3nm with highly increased quantum tunnel effects etc |
Won't be an issue, because the 3nm chips won't actually be 3nm.
I mean, what you describe is a very real problem, but we are years away from being near that wall.
