Will 'Console Killer' PC's be dead for next gen?

I mean I'll believe it when I see it. I'll be happy, I'm planning on buying a PS5 to have alongside my PC. But I'm really not expecting a Ryzen 3rd gen of GPU's to be releasing. 

The Ryzen 7 3700x will perform better in games than the Console versions as the frequency is much higher. It's just it's the only CPU with 8 zen cores with SMT, it wouldn't have been fair to pick a Ryzen 5.

I mean it was just a fun little 10 minute exercise to do, the only thing that will change between now and release is the new GPU pricing. We're not getting new CPU's, and we're going to get faster SSD's that will be more expensive etc.

It was just interesting to see that similar performance on paper for a PC was at least a 2x increase in price with a shitty motherboard, CPU Cooler and PSU that no one should buy. Even if the GPU was free the PS5 build would be mega expensive compared to the real console. 

Actually we are getting the new Ryzen 4000 series CPUs which should release late 2020 around the times that the consoles release. The rumours say that those will have 8 cores per ccx so there shouldn't be much if any ccx to ccx latency up to 8 cores that zen 2 has which should give a pretty good performance boost. And unlike Intel, AMD actually discounts their previous gen CPUs when and even before their new gen arrives.

But yea, PC's will always have the general purpose tax and that is something I wouldn't trade for anything cause it allows me to play hentai games and nude mods and download prawn.

I forgot about Zen 3.

Man it would really be waste of money to upgrade a 2070s and 3900x a year after buying them wouldn't it... I must stay strong and refuse.
