1550MHz seems too high, unless Navi has some voodoo magic or the PS5 is an XB1 at launch. XB1X is only 1175MHz, and that's with a vapor chamber heatsink.

7nm brings with it a slew of advantages in regards to power consumption and heat production.

I'm not worried about Zen 2 in terms of design or being ready, I'm worried about price. How much is a 6 core Ryzen 2 going to cost on 10nm or 7nm by late 2019, and hot much cheaper will PS get it for? While it should be semi custom and not a full blown Ryzen 2, I see the price potentially being an issue, unless they scale back elsewhere, up the launch price, or eat some more cost. If they had a long enough lead over Scarlet, they could just go with $499 for the first 6 months to a year, especially with the 25th anni hype.

You can't just look at the off-the-shelf pricing and assume that is what Microsoft/Sony is going to pay.
Ryzen 2 should be cost competitive with current Ryzen chips anyway.
A 6-core Ryzen 2 is likely a reduced single CCX anyway if the CCX is boosted to 8 cores, more than possible for a monolithic console SOC.

The memory does seem off. Either a 20GB pool, or 16GB with separate OS RAM like you said.

Needs to be power of 2. Or split pools.
So... 16/24/32GB are the likely GDDR6 pools.
Or... 16GB GDDR6+4/8GB DDR4.

I don't see OS memory usage decrease over the prior generation... Don't think that has ever happened in any successive console release.

Bravo considering you have school shooting in America. Could have triggered the kids lol

Let's keep that kind of thing out of this thread and remain on topic please.

Sony already knows the release date two years in advance and an hdmi port on the front? Fake!!!!!

Plus that “render” looks very questionable. Fun regardless though but I’m currently fine with ps4. So many awesome games out and more to come including kingdom hearts 3, devil May cry 5, sekiro and re2 remake.

Yeah. Looks like a derivative of the launch Xbox One... And that console was ridiculed to oblivion for is VCR/Ugly design.
