How much will Project Scorpio cost?

To put that into perspective the GTX 980 is about 5 tflops. So it's about 20% more powerful.

*face palm*
Flops cannot be compared between 2 GPU's of completely different architectures, it's not a denominator for gauging the complete capabilities of graphics processors.

For all you know, Scorpio will be 20% slower whilst having 20% more "flops".

A GTX 980 alone costs around $500 from a quick search on amazon, 20% higher means $600. Let alone it cost more because it'll be in a much smaller form factor assume it's console sized and we're not even talking about the Cpu, Ram, Contoller etc.

You cannot compare a PC GPU to a console one, especially in terms of price.

For starters... Console manufacturers don't buy "complete" GPU's, they don't buy multiple chips of Ram dedicated to the GPU, they don't buy over-engineered dedicated power delivery systems dedicated to the GPU, they don't buy highly complex, expensive, copper vapor chamber air-blower coolers, they don't need to purchase a PCB with tons of layers and traces to route everything.

The GPU is also integrated in with the rest of the SoC, which allows for chip consolidation to keep costs low and they also buy in bulk and have special deals to farther reduce the costing.

As for the "controller" I will assume you are talking about the memory controller, that is also integrated in the main SoC.

What're we thinking here? Assuming price goes down of course by the time Holiday 2017 rolls around so factoring that in I'm gonna say about $800.

MAYBE $750

Considering how you got yourself to this point and theorised it's costing... I disagree, completely.
