so ps5 w/ threadripper will have 32 cores 64 threads custom with extra overclock?  128 gb ram ? otherwise why even call it next gen if it’s going to have outdated specs right at launch?

Simple: cost. That one little nagging thing that people have been skipping over the entire thread. Next gen console =! having the most next gen parts one can find. PC has always lead in hardware. No reason to expect that to change.

Something like a Titan X (Pascal) would be a next gen part for a console, despite the fact that there are Titan Xp(s) and the Titan V out there. Cost is why that wouldn't happen. 

Not that i agree with the dream Teamsilent has... or that I disagree with what you are saying about PC always being ahead....

but wasn't the PS4 back in 2013 the first consumer product to come with 8GB of GDDR5 ram? The first PC GPUs to pack that much ram started showing up in 2014.
