Which mechanical disks? I have checked information about Hamr and Mamr Disks but I don't think they will be ready in time for next-gen. Predicting what hard drive ps5 will use is difficult. Eurogamer says mechanical drives are to slow and I have come to the conclusion that a hybrid solution with 1TB mechanical disk with 256GB ssd is useless.

Right now 1 TB SSD seems to the most reasonable guess what ps5 will launch with.

1TB M.2 (user upgradable with both SATA and NVMe) is the minimum I would hope for on PS5. That currently sits at anywhere from $200 to $400 by itself. SSD prices are falling though, with massive increases to maximum capacity on the horizon. Any way you cut it though, I feel like this generation is being rushed along. It is going to take everything going very nicely throughout many aspects of tech, to deliver even half hearted next gen consoles by 2020. Otherwise, I fear we are going to end up with some pretty pathectic boxes label with the PS5 and XB4 logos.

I have no issues with Ryzen, but I question,

Can Navi deliver ~18TFLOPs while staying in a console Watt/Price level?

Are they going to be able to deliver what I consider the minumum unacceptable level of RAM, which to me would be 32GB?

Will they be able make the move to Solid State Memory?

 

Looking at what I would still not consider a worthy "PS5", but I could live with; Ryzen 8 Core (~$200), Navi @ 18TFLOPs (Nothing currently but Vega 64 - HBM ~$400), 32GB GDDR6 (Current (1GB) GDDR5 Module pricing ~$280), and 1TB M.2 ($200 best case scenario). You're looking at roughly a $1,000 right now, for just those components, with no current 16nm GPU even capable of 18TFLOPs. Can they get this down to $400 - $500 by 2020? 

It is going to be pretty damn tight to squeeze together that package into a full console by 2020. I still like the idea of Pro 2 next year, with true next gen consoles in 2022, but everything points to the arrival of what I would consider a Pseudo PS5 in either 2019 or 2020. Brace yourself for Ryzen 6 Core + Navi @ 12TFLOPs + 16GB GDDR6 + 2TB HDD. 

Hehe I seen you previous posts, your specs are a bit out of whack :). I'm bracing myself for an 8 core zen+ cpu, 12 TF navi, 1tb SSD and between 12-24 GB ram of GDDR6 so we pretty close in our guesses.

But I think microsoft will deliver an 16TF navi gpu so pretty close to your dream of 18 TF! and a SSD is enough speed increase, no need for NVMe yet.
