According to the website SemiAccurate, which claims to have settled on numerous leaks related to the console industry in the past, the system will reach the market as early as 2019, and the first features do not evidence the presence of backward compatibility, one of the most desired options of the next generation.The article posted by the portal was blocked by a paywall that required payment of $ 1,000, but some of the more curious users of the Resetera found a way to circumvent the financial requirement and published the most important details of the text online.According to the developer, the console will be developed based on AMD's Navi architecture and will integrate an octa-core CPU. Any data on ADR were advanced.
