Still slower than a PS4.. but it those 7% increases def. make it a better buy than the original Xbox One.

Basically if your looking to buy a XB1, your being silly if you dont get the slim model.

Not necessarily.  The Xbox One has a stronger CPU, the PS4 a stronger GPU.  This addresses the GPU side of the Xbox One, so it's addressing a significant bottleneck.  The Eurogamer test suggested that Hitman on the Xbox One S slightly outperformed the PS4 version, and they described Hitman as an ideal test case.  *shrug*  It's only one data point, so it remains to be seen.  The real proof will come from games like Gears 4 that are being designed with the Xbox One S in mind.  They've already confirmed the framerate is higher on the Xbox One S, seemingly even with HDR turned on (if I understood the interview correctly).

Yes... ideal to them...

When they and even MS say the differences is neglible and that they where looking at the best case scenarios for improvements you know how much this was shoehorned.
