What's that thing in this part of the Scarlett video?
It's a circuit board.
You're going to have to be more specific with a still-shot and location circled.

You are late to the party. Some have already spotted the model of the chips, both 1GB and 2GB are used.
Dissapointing that they use an outdated Memoryconcept instead of HBM2/3 or other Wide I/O solutions. Thanks to their "Play Anywhere" Ecosystem, it results in a generic Hardwarearchitecture. That's when merchants say that in a company, rather than the technicians and engineers who really have a clue about technology and design. Platinum Chief is right.
Looks like some intermediate development test rig. These things are made one-off for testing, so don't read too much into it.What's that thing in this part of the Scarlett video?
Would you rather have a much more expensive console that performs identically but uses hbm memory instead of gddr6?Dissapointing that they use an outdated Memoryconcept instead of HBM2/3 or other Wide I/O solutions.

Precisely. Perhaps if we had some evidence that Navi would perform better with vastly improved memory bandwidth, but I don't think the evidence is there.Would you rather have a much more expensive console that performs identically but uses hbm memory instead of gddr6?

Cooling ? Debug?Power?
It seems to be an open-top bga socket on a test fixture. A massive block of metal applying equal pressure on all contacts of a test chip, with pins individually spring loaded. It's for prototyping, or characterizing something, or burn testing, or binning... I assume the big wires would be for direct power delivery from external source. Without the VRMs soldered right besides the chip, they need gigantic wires for the testing (inductance issues otherwise). Test fixtures are usually just to gather some specific data. It's unrelated to the final product.I meant the huge metal thing, in the center of the shot, with lots of badass wires attached to it, apparently above the SOC. What's that for?
Yup. This puppy probably draws 80A+ on the core.It seems to be an open-top bga socket on a test fixture.

they dont mention the seconds for the optimized NVMehttps://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1219/741/
Samsung talk about VNAND and SSD in next generation console and call it optimized NVme
The way that's worded I think they are saying the slides confirmed inclusion, but a cursory glance at the slides makes them look illustrative that Samsung's SSDs could benefit consoles. That 'confirmation' seems to come from wccftech and not Samsung.
Is even DDR4 still faster then ReRam? Why not go with that then
