It looks only slightly less mental in reality than in than in the drawing. It's hard to determine scale but it's potentially large enough for a couple of 120mm fans on the rear.

8 core 16 thread zen 2 CPU running at 3.2ghz
44CU/40CU navi running at 2.344ghz*
16 GB gddr6 ram
1 TB ssd
* - Ray tracing be "hardware accelerated" using DXR in the sense that the gpu's shaders can be considered "hardware". As for Coalition dev Colin Penny's comment about "dedicated ray tracing cores", perhaps this is a misunderstanding.

Ton of leaps of logic here.
I think it’s mostly likely that the SoC is located beneath the body of the V, with the finstocks placed in the wings of the V so as to maximize surface area for airflow.

The 12 core 24T ryzen 7 3900 runs @4.60ghz boost, 105w tdp max. 8 core zen2 could be running higher, maybe boost?
AMD has a patent for BVH traversal hardware in the TMUs. This seems the most likely implementation.prediction:

It tells me they are trying something different with the cooling or the dev kit has to run at a super high clock because the consoles are going to be on a better process node or the architecture of Navi 2 is more efficient.
Or maybe it's a marketing ploy to get people talking.
About Colin Penny's statement about "dedicated ray tracing cores", can someone contact Phil Spencer about it?
It just means we still have no idea how it's implemented on either system.Sometimes when an article is incorrect they will quietly correct the mistake. I guess this means it's shaders after all.

I can see why that may be a reasonable educated guess.I think we have a fairly good idea.
