If that's the case, shouldn't people be hoping for a weaker Scorpio? Why waste money on 4k when 1800p is the same?

I'm expecting a spec breakdown of specs, Forza 7 game play and maybe a name and release date..

The only thing MS has said regarding 4K is that their own games will be native 4K.

Project Scorpio is going to be very powerful.

Zen and Vega!

If this is real, I just want to say I was the 1st to say it wasn't jaguar & maybe higher than the announced specs. This will $500 or more pic.twitter.com/nQfqD6eQ6Z

This should shut all that stupid shit Xbox fans have heard since 2013. Digital Foundry probably won't even do multiplat breakdowns anymore 😂

I think Thuway has changed his aligance...

I could belive a 6 core Rysen variant at lower clock could be feaseble. And we have seen they showing great performance with high end GPUs.

However a 8 core Ryzen would be too big (at 14nm it has as much transistors as the XOne SOC and 60% of its area) and that is the number MS gave last year.

I don´t know how fast could AMD make a smaller Ryzen core specific for consoles and notebooks.

The CPU will be upgraded even if it has Jaguar. The Whitepaper on Scorpio says the L2 cache was quadrupled over the Xbox One, which means 16MB total rather than a paltry 4MB. That is a boost to the CPU just there, so one must assume other aspects got reworked also.

Dear lord. That tweet is terrible.
But the thing that sets it apart is his trump-like rhetoric of "Believe it, it's guarenteed." And that bullshit I can't subscribe to unless he provides this thing called "evidence".

Scorpio being a "true" 4k 60fps machine when the PC struggles to achieve it with SUPERIOR hardware, just ain't happening, not with full Ultra settings on all AAA games.

Puma. It's not just "Jaguar at a higher speed" though. But it is an evolutionary update to the Cat core found in Jaguar.

It's been confirmed multiple times the console is using 8-cores.
I agree Ryzen is unlikely, digital foundry seems to agree with me on that as well.

Could it be?

Or if they keep doing them, I think they'll be posted here way less often lol.

I'm sticking to the Jaguar/Puma CPU prediction. If they go higher than that though, I wonder what it will cost?
