| KBG29 said: After the Scorpio announcement I think it is using Zen without a doubt. Original rumors pointed to Sony having two CPU's, one would be a slightly modified Jaguar, the other would be a next gen Zen. If they went the Jaguar route they could keep the console arond $399.99, but the system would have thermal limits that could not see it reach 5TFLOPS. On the other hand the Zen would result in a $499.99 price tag, but allow them to hit the full 5.5TFLOPS of the RX480. At this point it only makes since for Sony to choose the second CPU, and assure they have enough power for 4K/30FPS on all games to match the Scorpio. We know that the 4.2TF set up is right on the edge due to the DF article, so a 5.5TF set up could do it noproblem. |
You will be disappointed.
No way it will have Zen because of the release date and no it will have Zen because of costs.
I mean, why would Sony even care to compete with Scorpio? They already won this gen, they didn't win because of power of the system, the Playstation brand is wordlwide and not limited to 2 countries, they have the better games, they have the better controller, they even have more games, their online doesn't suck anymore, they now have 2-factor authorization, they have Gran Turismo.
There is no need to compete with a system that will be released a year later.
