Scorpio CPU depends on the size of the chip. If they keep the massive 363mm2 surface area (or go larger?) of the original XBO chip, that could explain how they can packed it to the gills with leaner GPU cores and could have room for larger CPU cores and perhaps even a larger ESRAM pool (if not scrapped). CPU is an area where Phil mentioned 'wasn't quite there' for their design last year, so it should be a step up from what is in Pro.

Actually the ESRAM stuff will be interesting. I don't see how you could offer the speed with main memory (and before the someone comes up with the useless maxbw GDDDR5(X) stuff - you're wrong)

Digital Foundry: The stated figure of 320GB/s can be achieved with 8GB of G5X using a 256-bit bus, or alternatively it could be using a 384-bit interface paired with 12GB of GDDR5.
What's useless/wrong about that?
