lol some people are really nervous by a more powerful XBox.

From what we know Neo is not a full blown Polaris, it might be based on certain things but it's basically just a PS4 GPU x2 overclocked a bit.

A Polaris 10 at 32 CUs is 5.5 TFLOP, so that's obviously not the part Neo is using. 

XB2 from the sounds of it will be more like a brand new Polaris 10 (custom), which would enable it to hit 6 TFLOPS without much problem at a reasonable price/power consumption.

Sony is likely hamstrung here by having to stick with something close to the older PS4 architecture, otherwise at 36 CUs they should be getting better performance than just 4 TFLOPS-ish. 

We are all having a discussion as to what is possobly going to be in the new hardware. A more powerful xbox doesnt make a difference. At the time both those machines are oit there would be well around 70M PS4s ti the XB1s 30. Can you remember the PS2? then the XB was more powerful too. I doubt anyone here is worried about anything.

So far i have tried to respect you and engage in a reasonable converstaion with you, but your above post makes me realize thats not going to be possibke anymore.

I find it funny tho that you are taking one rumor to be fact and the other you are twisting. They are both rumors. So twist them both kr accept both of them.

It is clear that the PS4 is also to be using polaris. Its really simple, the onky 36CU GPU amd makes or will make on a 16nm process is a polaris chip. There isnt any otjer semi custom hybrid nonsense that will cost whoever uses it more than just usinf the reference design. The difference in power can be easily explained by clock speeds, which you are well aware of. Give it a go, work out the TF for a 36CU polaris @900mhz and one @1200mhz. MS has already shown they are more likely to clock their chips higher than sony is For whatever the reason.
