Agreed. 7nm Zen and Vega are on schedule to be mass produced in 2019. I do think there is a slight chance they'll hold off until 2020, but there's no way they are waiting til 2021. |
While they will be produced in 7nm, they will be priced high early on because it takes time to master a production node. Yield rates are pretty bad early on, which necessitates to sell chips at a high price to offset this - hence why a new node is generally started with high-end or server hardware to gobble up the high costs early on. If Sony wants a Zen2 based 8-core processor and a GPU with 64 compute units, you could be pretty damn sure that combo alone would cost Sony in 2019 about the expected 499$ release price of the PS5 without any other parts included.
