Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Scorpio's Hype Justified by it's Hardware specs

The same cpu running 9.5% faster than the ps4 pro...
Weren't there rumors of 4x L2 cache etc?

It will run multiplat games better than ps4 pro, about the same difference as xbox one and ps4. Both aren't needed. Show me what it can do for VR, then I might get interested.

Nah, still weak.



the scorpio is a nice piece of hardware, but as long as it's games release on X1/PS4 standard aswell I doubt we will get to see what the console can do when pushed to the max

If you say so.

Personally im hyped by games, which is why I have 0 hype for the scorpio, no matter if its gonna be the most powerful console ever. I had more hype for the WiiU prior to its release than I do now for the Scorpio.

I will also point out PS3 was on par with high end PC's in it's day but it's price and lack of interesting games hurt it. SO most powerful hardware ever didn't matter as much. 360 In some ways been not as impressive as PS3 at that time it had a good price and loads of games.



Project Scorpio shuns Ryzen in favour of 'evolved' AMD Jaguar CPU

Next-gen Xbox will also pack 12GB GDDR5 RAM and Polaris GPU



I honestly doesn't see it making an impact for MS unless they sell it dirt cheap. It's much better than the pro but without games to back it up, it won't matter. That being said, I'm guessing MS is gonna announce games for this year, next year and decades into the future to get us all hyped.

I'm personally not interested in any mid-gen consoles so this is a hearty meh, just like the PS4 Pro.

Weren't people saying it would have Ryzen CPU? lul

Overall though, it is a beast and it will be a great piece of hardware when it launches.

People should still keep their expectations in check before claiming some of the things they are claiming though.

Getting a Jaguar instead of Rysen is worse than getting an X1 instead of an X2.

it's very likely also an "evolved" polaris, as it was said that PS4 Pro has features beyond what's in standard polaris aswell
