I do think that CPUs req. will increase. The jump from last to this one didn't made it clear as the Jaguar cores of the consoles aren't really powerful, but I believe next gen consoles will go with Zen cores, and they'll probably go with 8 cores as well (tho not all of them may end being used for games). Also, there have been a lot of games this gen that have begun to take advantage of more cores, sometimes even needing more than a quad core to run stable and without hitting 100% load. Because of that, I think that we may find that, two or three years after the launch of the new consoles, we'll need at least a 6-core/12-thread or even higher CPU. |
I don't know. Like I said, PS2/XB to PS3/X360 was massive for CPUs. The latter were 16 - 32 times faster than the former. Next to that the gap from Jaguar to Zen jump seems like a small thing.
