Thanks.
The earlier info from insiders/those in the know was that PS5 was coming/aiming for late 2019 but then there was new speculation about a "delay" but that never got confirmed by anyone. Maybe it isn't delayed after all....?
I don't believe 2019 was ever in the running as an actual release date.
It's all been part of a superbly played misinformation campaign.
Start whispers of a 2019 release implying a ~8TF 7nm DUV machine.
The competitor hears these whispers and goes for a marginal improvement at the bottom end of the 7nm EUV performance scale. They're confident because 12 TF easily beats 8TF 7nm DUV.
MS fell for it hook, line and sinker. This can be seen from from the early gloating 12TF Anaconda, 8TF PS5 "leaks" and similar astroturfer comments.
Unleash a 14.2 TF beast that utilises the full 7nm EUV die area.
The generation will be won before it even begins.
The final piece of the puzzle is price which will put the last nail in the coffin...
