MS on the other hand may be using AMD's new Zen CPU, because it has better performance per watt than the old Jaguar cores used on PS4/XB1, the overall thermal envelop would be lower for the Scorpio APU than the Neo APU. Because of that lower thermal envelop, MS could potentially get away with a higher GPU clock rate for Scorpio, which would explain the 5.5-6 tflop rumor for Scorpio. |
Wonder when they'll finally wise up and stop trying to cram their hardware into tiny boxes with ridiculously pitiful cooling. Just use a slightly bigger case, so you can install a proper heatsink with a slow and quiet 12cm fan and you can overclock the shit out of your APU. As if anyone gives a shit if their console is a few cm thicker and a pound heavier.
They need to realize that this isn't 1990 and that hardware now needs heatsinks and active cooling.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
