SemiAcccurate gets some Playstation 5/Next details ($1000 Subscription to read / Summary in OP)

I would never in my life pay more than $20, let $1000, for a article that might not even be true.
I highly doubt the PS5 will launch in 2018, personally I don't want it til 2020.

It is. Still hope it's 2020 and they make it as powerful as possible for $399 (and selling it for a loss).
Kind of bored of hearing everyone on Era saying PS5 won't be out til 2020... 2021, 2022...
Face facts: PS4 launched 5 years ago. PS5 could launch next week and it would not be a surprise or unusually short in terms of average gen life cycles. The idea it could launch this Christmas or early next year is not only feasible, it's a damn safe bet given the average console lifespan is about 5 years.

Agree - but the available tech impacts this approach a lot. If by going 2019 Sony are stuck on 14/16nm they won't have enough headroom to make a big step forward vs pro or xb1x, and xb2 a year later on 7nm will be potentially much more powerful
If Sony can do 2019 while also being on 7nm (eg a not yet mature process and accept lower yields for first mover advantage), that could be a great option for them
My feelings toward next gen rumors now are so different than last gen.
I was salivating at any details, I couldn't fucking wait.
This gen I'm like 'DAMN can ya'll wait a minute I'm still enjoying this!'

LOL.
At least SemiAccurate thinks the GPU is Navi or based on Navi. If they had said it was based on the outdated, late, powersucking pig that is Vega, I would've bricked a shit !!!!!
Sony don't need to launch in 2019, but early 2020 seems smart. Give all the hardcore people a non-holiday period to buy it. Then have plenty of stock and games for the holidays.
Yeah, it just makes more sense both business wise and technologically. However, I'll pay $499 if the specs are worth it. I'd rather that, than them gimp on the specs to hit a lower price point. I don't think Sony wants to sell for a loss, but maybe they could since they're so far ahead this gen. Who knows. :)
Except there is no accessible notable tech that Sony can draw on to make this a generational leap over the $400 system they are selling today.
Further enhanced upcoming PS4 titles like Ghost of Tsushima, I'd assume.
2019 PS5, hmmm. Honestly this may fall into Microsoft's favor. Whatever Sony fucks up on, Microsoft can improve or reiterate upon in 2020 with releasing the Nextbox.
With everything Microsoft has been working on, and with the right first party titles, they can easily get back on top. I have no doubts about that.
But if nextgen is already starting in the next year...where is that going to leave the Switch? Maybe that rumored Mariko (pro/revised) unit will come into play? If not I don't see Nintendo retaining 3rd party support for much longer.

Everyone would benefit from having an easy transition. Adding 2 more consoles to the Dev cycle isn't ideal.
If this comes to fruition, count me the fuck in. A powerful 8-core Zen would do absolute wonders for console and its ability to tackle VR, livestreaming and much more.
I would do the same. PS is my main gaming platform. But it looks like $499 is not good for the mass marked. $399 is the perfect price for that. But I would be okay with a $499 PS5 Pro three years after the PS5 launch.
Maybe. Some kind of Zen plus ( Semi custom Zen+). I say custom because can be a mix of desktop Zen with mobile Ryzen ( Ryzen5 2500U).
The Zen already have a big advantage: a hyperthread like intel cpus with give much more power.
I'd say a 2018 release seems unlikely even if possible. Even with dev kits already out there, makes more sense to give games more time to bake for launch and let the price of the final hardware be less at launch. That and I think it's unlikely MS will release another Xbox before 2020 with the X1X out. That would still give them a year lead.
People on here said Switch would use X2. It didn't. The PS5 specs will no doubt disappoint everyone on ERA. But it'll be enough of a jump for the mass market and sell big numbers anyway.
You're also forgetting that Sony has the buying power to get chips in massive bulk orders making costs more accessible than your average custom PC builder.
Phhht why settle for 10-12TF.. let's bring this puppy to 16TF. I'm still betting 2019. Just feels so soon even though it will have been 6 years
