Now, the leaked product code may not be true.  But, it's easy to speculate what is going into the PS5.  A Ryzen CPU is the only option they have, as they are sticking with AMD, and a Sony coder was cleaning up and improving code for Ryzen.  The only question is how many cores will it have (I'm pretty confident they will go with 8, just like the PS4 has) and will it be Ryzen+ or Ryzen 2.  Forbes reported on the BTS drama concerning the development of Vega, with AMD focusing heavily on Navi because they are getting it ready for the PS5.  Considering the X already has 12GB of RAM, it's also easy to see that the PS5 will have at least 16GB.  Like I said, GDDR6 would be the obvious choice for the type used.

As for your reply to GOWTLOZ, you're forgetting something important, and that's ROW.  PS has a much larger presence there than Nintendo.  Nintendo also doesn't always get the edge in NA.  And if Xbox continues to drop in NA next gen, you can bet that PS will be there to pick that missing marketshare back up.  As many have pointed out to you, the Switch will most likely start to decline in 2020, 2021 at the latest.  2021 is when sales of the PS5 will be hitting its stride, and Nintendo will be getting ready for new HW in the next year or two.  So, no, Nintendo will not claim the next 4 years.

Hmm I don't know where you gotten geforce 1080 ti performance from never seen that anywhere, I think Navi mid-range cards will be between geforce 2060 and vega 56. The latest rumors had Navi mid-range at geforce 2070 but it was likely all fake though.

Right now I believe PS5 will launch Spring 2020 at 399$ with 3,2ghz zen 2 cpu that has 8 core and 16 threads, Navi at 9TF likely vega 56 performance, 12 GB Gddr6 Ram on a 192-bit bus and 1TB NVMe SSD drive.  

The rumors about ~1080TI came out around the same time as the Forbes report.  Though, it may have just been a 1080 and I'm remembering it wrong.  I just don't see them aiming "low" with the PS5.  I think they are going to try to roughly double the Tflops of the X's GPU, so ~10-12 Tflops.  And there is no way they are just going to match the RAM of the X.  They will have at least 16GB in it. 

I also wouldn't count on a SSD.  It will most likely be a 1TB HDD, with the ability for the consumer to upgrade it if they wish.  It's just too costly to throw in a large capacity SSD.  I mean that's a $50 difference at retail.  It may be more like a $30 difference for Sony, but that's an added cost of $150M for the first 5M units alone, which would be better spent putting a more powerful chipset in it.  If we ever get to a $5 difference between drives, Sony will probably throw one into the PS5 Pro at launch and probably a Slim, but not the launch model.  The only one I could see putting a SSD in is MS in their top of the line $499 model, and that would probably only be a 500GB one.
