I like "Nintendo 8". It's minimalist, confident, safe and it's a reminder that they've been in the game the longest. But I don't think Nintendo will consider it because their ego is too big and they don't want to make it seem like their only business is consoles and games
Do you think it's possible now to build a PC that will play all multi platform games decently, for the next 9 years, after we received the most important console specs? Or is there still a lot of uncertainty regarding the SSD requirements of PC versions?
I remember they were saying that the current mid gen refreshes had a lot of customization. Did any of the cpus had additional customizations compared to the standard consoles or are they just higher clocked versions?
When people say N7 is IP compatible with N6, what does that mean exactly? Since density increases and it uses EUV, a change to N6 would need new expensive EUV masks, and I think changes to DUV masks too. I barely know anything about chip manufacturing. What would make a change to N6 much cheaper...
Will the consoles be able to decode 8K HDR AV1 video? If they can't do that it seems pretty ridiculous to keep saying "8K" when nearly all these boxes will do is upscale to 8K. Will the HEVC successor be used for anything relevant?
400 to 500 and 600 to 700 shouldn't really be considered a generation jump because the architecture was the same. If you do, for consistency you should also consider 2000 Super a new generation
Since the Series X is shown to be cooling focused, and the rumored high clock speeds are looking to be true, I've been thinking:
Could it be that building high clock speeds console is not the most cost effective way to achieve the desired performance?
I haven't done any math, this is just...
