""PS5 dev kits in the wild and i've some good news for you
System will be revealed close to E3 2019 in Sony's Special event with some mind-blowing tech demos and a few megatons and a release date for Q1-Q2 2020! The Last of Us Part 2's motion matching in 4K 60fps is a joy to watch!
Specifications:
CPU: 8Core/16Threads at 3.2Ghz (boost) Zen2 (this is the biggest improvement we've ever seen CPU-wise, even bigger than PS2 to PS3)
GPU: Fully NAVI-Based GPU with some AMD's next generation arch features at 12.6tf to 14.2tf (GPU clock still undecided)
Memory: 24GB - 20GB GDDR6 at 880Gb/s - 4GB DDR4 reserved for OS
2tb HDD""

Holy crap this is exactly the "option3" I put in the Poll...guys I really can't wait for an official announcement !

Outside of the memory (which I suspect will be 20GB total with 4 of LPDDR4 reserved for the OS ~ this is a big deal), I believe most of that (and as I noted: at least a 2TB HDD [not an SSD], Zen 2, Navi, 8-core proc @ around 3GHz). Should be a comfy fit for $399 as well. Not sure about that release date, but the timing of the purported revelation makes sense and would explain their plans to skip E3.

   I was thinking the same, that release date...maybe in Japan only ?  Anyway, I would be more than happy with these kind of specs and a price around $399 !
