Vasto said:Memory: 12GB of GDDR5?
Microsoft also dropped some hard figures in terms of memory bandwidth too, telling us that Scorpio has over 320GB/s of throughput. This gives us a couple of useful data points. Firstly, it's almost certainly the case that the ESRAM experiment on Xbox One is now a thing of the past - Microsoft will be following the approach pioneered by Sony in using a single, unified pool of memory based on PC graphics RAM technology. Which technology that is remains to be seen - will it be GDDR5 or the faster G5X found in Nvidia's GTX 1080? |
This is where it all falls a part. If you have a bandwidth of 320Gb/s then it doesn't matter if you have DDR3, GDDR5, GDDR5X or even HBM. They are offering the exact same amount of performance.

Flops has no correllation with resolution.

Vega is GCN 4.0 like Polaris. Microsoft has likely used Polaris and done a semi-custom design of it to meet it's performance targets.
Vega hasn't taped out as far as I know.
AMD builds it's GPU's to be fairly modular, they can add or take away functional units for specific markets or customers, you don't have to take a large GPU and hack bits off/die harvest.
| Ruler said: the Xbox Scoprion wont do native 4K as of now, graphicscards with 6TF on an overclocked Intel Corei7s are even struggling rendering in 4K |
A Geforce 1070 which Polaris 10 is likely to be competing against eventually... Can do 4k 30fps just fine. Scorpio will have a few advantages over the 1070 though such as more bandwidth, which is important for high resolutions.
CPU's tend not to impact resolutions that much, usually it just hampers minimum and maximum framerates, but considering consoles are a set-quanitity in terms of CPU performance, developers can build their games within those walls.
