Worst case is the CPU is Jaguar.

Technically you're right, but I don't think MS is that stupid. Sony already pushed Jaguar to it's limits with PS4 Pro and it still bottlenecks the GPU by a pretty considerable amount. I don't think MS is dumb enough to make the same mistake, the 6 tflop GPU would be a complete waste if they did. They've closely listened to developer feedback from both western and Japanese 3rd party devs while developing it, and I'm sure that many 3rd party devs have been asking for a good CPU due to the bottlenecking issues they've ran into with Jaguar on PS4 and XB1. I think some mobile Excavator cores are the actual bare minimum we will see on Scorpio. 

I agree especially when you consider phils answer to the question: Use one word to describe Scorpio. He said 'balanced'. I'm pretty sure putting a jaguar in there would be anything but balanced.
