Do people not know how dev kits work? The first round of devkits are never anything close to final hardware.
The first Xbox One dev kits came out 2 years before the Xbox’s release and were running off of an Intel i7 cpu.
Dev kits likely mean a 2019/2020 release on 7nm or less on final hardware that is nothing like the hardware in the dev kits. If I were to guess, these dev kits are not on any APU, they pack the most powerful cpu and the most powerful gpu that amd currently makes.
Nextgen wont be about hardware, it will defined by VR.
My dream would be a Vapor Cooled PS5 launching in 3 years using a 3nm Zen 3+ 3Ghz 3x3 core CPU, 30GBs of 3D Stacked HBM3, a 3TB SSHD and 30 TFs of GPU Horsepower.
I want it to launch alongside an optional 4k per each eye with eye tracking, foveated rendering, OLED, 120fps wireless VR headset with a 180 degree FOV along with haptic gloves and haptic underwear for Ready Player One’s OASIS levels of gaming immersion and market domination. They could simply buy Pimax since they already have a 8k VR headset with these specs (including a 200 degree fov) in the beta testing phase.
Here is a great article on haptic underwear...

Lets include eye tracking (and foveated rendering) as a next gen goal as well
