My point was that 5/4nm seems   expensive since Microsoft stuck with 6nm, and  between nintendo paying high cost for 5/4nm they probably went 8nm to save money. i mean anything could happen but every souce says 8nm but you right you never know till they open the console up unless nintendo actually announces specs which they haven't for years. 

I believe MS has delayed the transition to 6nm because they are still unable to sell off the 7nm wafers they over-ordered.

Then as previously speculated.
The cost of chips at N4 is not high.

This is a much better source then pastebin and a person tha actually works for the industry. Aside from that if it was nearly the same price why wouldn't Microsoft go with 4nm or 5nm?
