Also the prices in the chart are list prices I'm assuming - AMD has been willing to supply APUs for consoles at very thin margins this gen, I don't see why that wouldn't continue. And I expect Sony to sell PS5s at loss initially. Not PS3 levels of loss, but still some.
I just adjusted to the 7nm tax (new nodes tend to be a little more expensive early on)
Indeed, even i started settling with slighty better Vega64 performance and was worried the GPU jump might not be enough for a next gen leap and 4Kish rendering, but AMDs 1.25x IPC claims and RDNA changed everything. The RTX2080 levels of performance suddenly got a lot more realistic.
The initial loss with the PS4 was minimal, IIRC.

No, its not, but they made a lot of money selling software/plus/service until apu/slim come and reduce manufacture.
I seem to recall a quote along the lines that they needed a year of PS+ or a single AAA game to break even, so ~$60 or thereabouts.
im gessing is binned for higher clocking chips
They didnt take a loss on BOM but factoring in retailers cut, packaging and transportation they probably took a small hit that they recouped as you said.
Yep, i think this time they'd be willing undercut BOM by ~$50 at retail if need be.
Thats what happens when you hit diminishing returns (clock past the perf/watt sweet spot) you get relatively small gains for considerable increase in power consumption.
Its important to note a site with zero credibility don't deserves even a thread about.

Its funny he is taking the 'victim' role on twitter.
Either way, he's not a reliable source for leaks.
Yep. He’s being really rude to all the people replying to him.
LOL funny i was just thinking of that meme
While AMD is bringing heat to Intel, Intel
ik lol it would be foolish to think, still a funny meme especially considering the implications of 5gz
