If next gen consoles debuts in 2020/2021, could it be that they are primarily design to be at 5 nm?
They may debut on 7 nm, but if 5 nm in volume production comes online in 2020, could it be that Microsoft/Sony will be putting more power in next gen than rumors might suggest?
(By producing a large 7 nm SOC/APU, heavily subsidised while being on 7 nm, first 6-12 months or so)
AMD and Nvidia’s go-to CPU/GPU foundry preps 5nm for 2020 volume production
TSMC, semiconductor manufacturer to the stars, is taping out its first 5nm chip design in the first half of 2019. Production is set to spool up not long after, with the fabrication giant in charge of producing most of AMD and Nvidia’s CPUs and GPUs set to shift its EUV-augmented 5nm process into overdrive in 2020.
All applications that are using 7nm today will adopt 5nm
