Microsoft Calls Scorpio “The Only Console” Capable Of “True 4K” and “Hi-Fidelity VR”

That is incorrect. 

Xbox One Ram: 8 GB DDR3 @ 68.26 GB/S + 32 MB ESRAM @ 218 GB/S

PS4 Ram: 8 GB GDDR5 @ 176 GB/S

The PS4 has a huge memory advantage.

Also, the only things we know about the Scorpio CPU are that it will have 8 cores, and that the won't be the new Zen cores. That means that we'll likely see a better CPU than the one in the Pro, but it probably won't be vastly more powerful.

 

Edit: It's not 47% more memory bandwidth AND an extra 4 GB of Ram. It's 47% more memory bandwidth BECAUSE it has 4 extra GB of Ram.

so if they use 24gb ram instead of 12gb, the memory is just half as fast? :D
or if they use 6gb ram instead of 12gb, the memory is faster?

bandwitdth has nothing to do with ramsize

Really? Mind you, I'm not hugely tech savy, but I've always understood memory bandwidth to be the total carrying capacity of the system memory.

For example, if the Xbox One had 16 GB of the same type of memory, its memory bandwidth would be twice what it is at 8 GB.

Seems I am incorrect though. So, what metric shows that total amount of work system memory can perform?
