Sony would just skip that gen and pretend that it's a very expensive Linux PC with a Blu-ray player.

DF: Microsoft has developed a console GPU that is more performant and more feature-rich than any Navi part AMD has shipped in 2019
- Thread starter Mack
- Start date
Basically this. And given how late ps3 was to the market in the end, who knows if the part might have actually been viable on that timeline.
As per above, there were timeline and performance questions that led to the change but it wasn't anything as obvious as cell 'gpu' nonsense. If I were to guess paper spec would have looked a fair bit better for Sony but cross platform challenges would have deepened.
Xbox one X is for Xbox what PS4 pro is for PS. A mid gen refresh with more power. Aside the power difference the X is a much better product in terms of cooling and sound production. The internet is full of people complaining about their Pro's sounding like a Jet Engine. It is the reason I did not even buy a pro.
Hopefully sony took notice of how Microsoft was able to make a powerful box like the Xbox one x and have it be slim, small and silent. Mine during certain games may not get as loud as 2016 release ps4pro's, BUT IT GETS LOUD when you are playing longer than an hour of God of war.
Pretty sure that's how it sometimes works, because I work for a company that does exactly that. Will it happen with Sony/AMD? Who knows? Maybe not. Can it happen? Yes.
Surely not, because that's not how it works.
I'm happy that MS created yet another technology packed console. I am excited to see what Sony reveals on the technology front in response.
At the end of day, though, the quantity and quality of the games is all that matters. Sony obviously gets it, and MS has made some really good moves on that front to position themselves for success.
On paper, this might be the best generation ever with two almost equally matched opponents. I know I'm excited.

Yeah Microsoft knows nothing about hardware or computers you got me
I have 2 questions that i was hoping this thread would eventually answer (maybe it did and i missed it)
Did DF get hands on time with the hardware? Trying to figure how they know its more performant then 2019 navi, i read the whole article but it was so much words my mind went blank after awhile lol sorry
Is sony rumored to be using a 2019 navi chip?

It's a much better product because an year later with higher price it's automatic to have it, especially when MS was fully committed to reach such scope. Are people new to how the tech works?
The Pro in the Sony intentions was targeting the lower price possible with such specs differently to the X hardware. That's why is loud and built cheaper.
I don't understand why we need to specify something of so obvious every single time. The fact they are named premium console doesn't nullify the different strategies to the base of the 2 hardwares. I'm not trying to discuss who has the better vision there.

Like a descent cooling solution is only avalaible since 2017?
The delivered the specs with as low possible cost to make as much profit as possible. In that situation they just made a poorly designed console.
It did not even have to be whisper quiet, just descent.
If you have customers having to play with a headset on in order not to hear their overwhelming jet engine consoles the product is flawed.
That has nothing to do with another product that is 100 dollar more expensive and comes out a year later.
