For a hybrid if it reaches 2.5tf on console mode and like 1.25tf on mobile mode, then I would be happy as hell. I mean thats close to x1 performance for a handheald and even better than a wii u. No more than $300 guesses are around $250 then it wwwill still kick ass.

The hybrid rumors said that it wasn't even 1TF at full power. It would be closer to half that.

wasent that wwhen nvidia was still the chip asumed? and it was the chips power rumor, if its amd thats out the window. I know that 1.25 is still to much of a dream for a handheld, but less than 1tf for  console mode would just be ridiculous.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Guys, it's an article from wccftech with no source whatsoever. And wccftech isn't a site known for its accurate and provne leaks.

I wouldn't get too carried away by this, to be honest.

Yep, Scorpio should use less than 200 watts. PS4 Pro meanwhile uses 310 watts max according to Sony. 

Its not unthinkable that sony releases a PS4 Pro slim that has a UHD-player and uses less energy around the Scorpio release

Scorpio Im betting will be based off Vega, in the article it says over 7tflop for rx580 (130w) so scorpio will be a cut down version of that or get  bumped up performance.

I have seen this on multiple sites actually. Think it originated from TweakTown. 

Tweaktown isn't as bad as wccftech, but it's not the most credible site either.

I found TweakTown's article: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/54433/amd-improved-radeon-rx-480-50-better-perf-watt/index.html

Funnily enough, that article also lacks proper sources and says the opposite thing of the wccftech one. TweakTown claims that AMD will use these improvements on the desktop cards (the 480 more specifically) while Wccftech claims that AMD will use the improved efficiency on their embedded products first.

I don't really believe any of those rumors.

I don't think you can separate the nvidia and hybrid rumor. They pretty much came together, along with the less than Xbox One power rumor. If it is a hybrid, you're looking at half a teraflop or so, which puts it at 3-4x Wii U performance.

That would be huge, but its debatable, the price seems an issue and also the release date of the vega and when they can press it on chips. they are planned for 2018 and they also use faster memory then the scorpio by standard, everything is pointing towards Polaris, which is fine, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

Well, we do know that AMD's naming./numbering scheme for Polaris does allow for hardware revisions. So maybe these will be sold as 465, 475, and 485.

I can see AMD launching xx5 revisions as they showed in that slide explaining the naming of the new cards. What I don't believe is the 50% improvement claimed by those sites.

Up to 15, maybe 20% by next year as the process gets more mature and refined could be, but a 50% improvement in only 4 months since the 480 launched? No way.
