And back to that XB1 upgrade thing.....How much power MS can put on a chip is limited by the original architecture they chose to go with. No matter what they do, they have to make room for the SDRAM on the chip. If they make a console without it, it would literally mean they are asking devs to develop for two Xbox platforms. That stands to do way more harm to them than any possible good. As long as MS puts in the SDRam on die, then their APU will always be less powerful cause both theirs and sonys usually have about the same footprint.

You are looking at the eSRAM wrong.
Think of it like an L4 CPU cache. - It can also be off-chip, Microsoft would be silly not to include it in a future console revision, it's benefits outweigh the cons, if it's not increasing performance, then it's reducing power consumption.

Microsoft then could upgrade the system ram to DDR4, with DDR4 now hitting 4266Mhz, Microsoft could double the bandwidth without much effort. (Barring the need for a chip respin to accomodate a newer memory controller.)
That would give the Xbox One 136GB/s of bandwidth without blowing out costs.

Still. I hope Microsoft doesn't release a new console, the Xbox One is fine the way it is, wait untill a new generation to introduce new hardware.
