Why would it require a new CPU? I mean the PS4 Pro is just an overclocked jaguar and seems to be just fine for the console. I expect the same for the Scorpio. And when did Microsoft confirm that the Scorpio would have 12GB of Ram? And finally, the 4k blu-ray drive is an extra $15 on manufacturing costs, so its nill. 

I guess it doesn't HAVE to have a new CPU. But people are in for a huge disappointment if it doesn't. 

Even if it gets overcooked by like 30% youre still looking at a 2.4 or 2.5GHz CPU. That not really enough to make a huge difference over the Pro. You'll basically be seeing PS4  vs. Xbox One levels of difference amd it will still probably be more than $399.

 

MS said that it will have 320 gb/s worth of GDDR5. That's either 12gb, the fastest 8gb ever, or the slowest 16gb of GDDR5 ever.

Alright, so you've got me there. But what exactly is the price difference between 8GB of GDDR5 and 12GB.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
