I know that is the current "Navi" and "Zen 2" manufacturing node - but when Sony/MS release the next consoles in Holiday 2020, TSMC's 5-nm process node will already be in mass production and already have a MASSIVE product scale going on - Apple's A14 in next year's iPhone release in Sep/Oct, which still sell in the 10 million+ range in the first weekend. That is far higher than any console launch. It would be riskier to go with a brand-new manufacturing node from the beginning, but using 5-nm right away would allow something like a 56 CU behemoth from Microsoft to launch at $399... |
yes, it was confirmed by AMD's CEO Lisa Su at the Microsoft stage. They should be using the 7nm+ process
