And probably a 2 TB Hard disk drive. SSD is too expensive, but it might replace a disk like that. A bandwith of 0.8-1 TB/s would be great too. I would like a CPU at least 2 times faster than the current. Anyway, its going to be a long time, I guess six years after PS4 Launch, 2019. But if Microsoft and Nintendo continue selling a lot less, then next gen could come earlier. |
That was my december 2014 post...
5 years later I think Sony won´t get that far. I would like 12 - 14 TF , but 10 - 12 a more conservative guess now. Also 32 GB is too generous, 16 or 24 at most will be doable. 0.8 TB/s now can be done with 30% more efficiency, would be like 560 GB/s and can happen. I expect a 256 bit bus with DDR 6. we´ll see.
At least by now I got 2 predictions right:
A CPU 2 times faster than PS4 will happen with Ryzen. (Ryzen wasn´t known in 2014)
And the next gen came earlier with Switch. (2014 was Wii U time)
