Nvidia Gets SALTY

Maybe yes, maybe no, IMO this is like this Eurogamer's leak about PS4 Pro, where it was stated in every line its non official, and all media took it as a given PR news from Sony. Sure, it is not all set in stone, but I prefer to operate on any data than some < next gen being >

I prefer to try and base all assertions on actual known factoids.

All the info we got points to the Navi in PS5, and this alone will make it very special. Like everybody know Polaris, and no one give a fuck about Bulldozer. Listen they will not simply put high end AAA GPU in next gens, there will be semi-custom made laptopt-style APUS like we got already.

Navi is based on Graphics Core Next. That alone makes it very uninteresting.

I agree, they will not put a high-end GPU in the next gen consoles, but are you assuming that AMD's next-gen GPU architecture isn't going to have a mid-range offering?

 The transistors are produced by TSMC or GlobalFoundries, not AMD/Nvidia. So i give it " higly unlikely" label.  More over, the latest AMD 14nm FinFet was co-produced by GF with Samsung to lower the costs., because more plants needed.

AMD works with the fabs to choose the best transistors for their designs, not all transistors are created equal, some operate with lower power but sacrifice operational frequency.
AMD will often port an older GPU design to a new node in order to "test the fab waters" so to speak and learn about it's various characteristics, so that their next chips can take better advantage of it.

Not so fast, bro.

Sure, there is a big if here, but there is also the ground to defend my prediction.

Many said the same thing about Ryzen in the Xbox One X... But I digress.

I suggest you wait for an actual announcement before trying to assert something as factual.

Thanks Pem, you're the hero this site doesn't deserve.
