| Barkley said: Either the Neo and Scorpio will have very similair specs or the Neo will be substantially cheaper. I'd wager that when the Neo is finally released it won't have the specs leaked a few months ago. I'm not sure why people think specs have to be finalised such a long time in advance, a year and a half is plenty of time to make substantial hardware changes. Hell there were developers at the Playstation 4 reveal event in february 2013 that were surprised that Sony announced the console was going to have 8gb of ram and not the original 4gb, that was much much closer to launch. Even assuming a Holiday 2017 launch for Neo that's probably almost as much time as they've spent on it from the beginning of the project. |
RAM is easy to increase. Replacing a CPU or GPU is a no-go close to release. If it is releasing in 2017, the biggest change they can do is to activate ROPs or other parts that they may have disabled to increase yelds or overclock it slightly.
