Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox Scorpio - the biggest generational leap ever!

355 gigaflops xbox 360

422 gigaflops ps3

1.4 teraflops (xbox one s)

1.8 teraflops ps4

4 teraflops Ps4 pro

 

Difference between xbox original and xbox 360 is about .3 teraflops

Difference between ps2 and ps3 is about .4 teraflops

The difference between xbox 360 and xbox one is about 1 teraflop.

The difference between ps3 and ps4 is about 1.4 teraflops.

The difference between ps4 and ps4 pro is about 2.2 teraflops.

The difference between xbox one s and xbox scorpio is 3.6 teraflops! Huge! This is the biggest generational leap of all time!

Nope.

WOW, now if only what you were saying meant anything at all.
Seriously PS4 to PS4 Pro as the current biggest generational leap is hilarious. Ignoring that it's the same generation you're seriously trying to tell me that's a bigger upgrade then SNES to N64 or SD to HD??



Difference in computing isn't measured in absolute numbers but in potentials. A difference of 4x in a whole generation is nothing. Call me when it's 10x.

Using plain old flops completely ignores absolutely everything else the consoles can do. FP16, FP64, Integer, Bandwidth, Cache, Ram capacity, Storage speeds and latency, pixel and texture fillrate, geometry performance... All of it.
It's stupid to use only flops to compare completely different platforms which all have their own nuances to work with.

And using it in the fashion he did does not account for diminishing returns for each doubling of performance and it's affect on overall fidelity, using percentages is probably a better gauge to determine overall relative increases between generations.

Plus... Scorpio is not a next-gen system.

Is Scorpio going to be the most powerful console this gen? Shit yes.
But it's not going to be this amazingly generationally-superior platform compared to a game built specifically for the PS4 Pro or PC, but for Xbox gamers the difference should be striking due to having inferior performing hardware to start-with with the original Xbox One.

^ so much this.

Also when that boost is used not to add more to the games, but just scale the resolutions upwards, the results are less noticable.

 

Maybe the OP is right in as far as just pure numbers go, but in terms of potentials the statement is simply not true.



Biggest jump in pure flops, least difference in actual graphics.

OP's statement is as inconsequential as if he proclaimed that this second is the farthest second ever from the big bang.

No wait this one.

No this one.

And now this one!

Amazing how fast our advances in time progression are!

There's a number of things wrong with this thread. I'll just point out that the PS3 GFlops you've listed is a combination of both CPU+GPU, whereas PS4 GFlops is the GPU only.

PS3 GPU: 228.8GFlops

Anyway if you insist on making comparisons at least use proportions rather than numerical values, else the latest will always be the "biggest". PS2 to PS3 was a much bigger leap then anything we've seen since or will likely see again in the foreseeable future.

PS2: 6.2GFlops

So PS3 is 68 times more powerful than ps2... and Scorpio is an XBO in 4k.



Came expecting sarcasm but this is actually correct. Good job.
