Sony's Jim Ryan: performance difference between PS4 and Xbox Neo Scorpio just speculation


The coming months will be exciting for console players. Not only Nintendo's NX platform is presented in detail,  so are new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. On the PS4 Neo Sony's Jim Ryan went again in an interview, without providing real details.

A few days two new consoles the PlayStation 4 Neo and the Xbox Scorpio were announced with the PlayStation which should appear much more powerful than previous models. In the case of the PS4 Neo it was still just a passing reference in the media. In a recent interview Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe president Jim Ryan talked again about the background.

It was still too early for a presentation

According to his statement there were many rumors about the new hardware in advance. Upon confirmation of the PS4 Neo, Sony wanted to clarify the situation. At the same time, there was already a clear vision of what would be shown at E3 2016. The new console was not included because the japanese company wanted to concentrate on the games. In addition, Sony wants the actual revelation of the PS4 Neo when applications and advantages of the console are ready along the reveal. It was still too early in the period of the E3 exhibition.

In the further course Ryan repeated a statement that is known since the beginning: for the PlayStation 4 Neo no exclusive games will be released. Rather, the company's aim is always to expand the installbase of the PS4. As is known, both consoles are part of a family and are basically compatible.

There are differences nevertheless: Due to the higher power, the PS4 Neo promises better performance and power. And PlayStation VR is likely to benefit from it. Whether there will be a bundle with the virtual reality headset is still unclear. According to Ryan it would be a logical step. However, the strategy required to be defined and talks with the retailers have to be done.

So far only rumors about the Performance

Also Ryan commented at the performance of the PS4 Neo, without disclosing details. However, he devoted himself to the assumption that the performance of the new Sony console is a full two Teraflops under the power of the Xbox Scorpio. According to Ryan,such messages are based only on speculation and rumors. Once Sony has released the relevant data, the time for further discussions comes to this subject. After he was again explicitly asked if the rumors were true, Ryan answered with a loud laugh.

^Yep, that's weird. 



A) this guy is just false bravado. The laugh says power doesnt matter. Sony will still win.

B) this guy knows, the neo is much more powerfull than the rumors say, laughs at how wrong everyone is.

Is it A or B?

this doesnt really say much. as he pretty much was saying wait till the official reveal before talking about specs and such.



Lets hope Sony tells us thr Specs soon.

C) The interviewer wears a weird tie.

D) He thought of a joke

E) It's a laugh of desperation towards interviewers asking stupid questions

F) The interviewer lies or does not know what an actual laugh is

G) All of the above

Lol, "based solely on rumor and speculation". Digital Foundry obtained an official spec sheet that came with dev kits that were already sent out to developers. That qualifies as something quite a bit stronger than rumor and speculation. Digital Foundry has no reason to lie, and they backed up their report with multiple sources.

A complete redesign after dev kits have already gone out would be pretty costly, they would have to get AMD to design an entirely new chipset in order to match Scorpio, because overclocking has limits, you simply can't overclock a 4.2 tflop GPU all the way up to 6 tflops and memory speed from 218 GB/s up to 320 GB/s on air cooling in a small form factor case. And since multiple reports have pointed to a 2016 release, that means retail units would have already begun manufacturing even before E3, making a complete redesign pretty costly because they wouldn't be able to sell all of the units they already manufactured. Not to mention they'd piss off the developers who have already begun developing games on the old spec dev kits, they would have to completely start from scratch and make new builds to take advantage of the extra power. 

I suspect Sony will overclock Neo a bit (15% tops) and release this year to get the early release advantage in.

rumors tell that Sony had two different versions all along and they want to put a stronger CPU into the stronger version of the two as well



Is this nightmare...is this true nightmare?
