If they upgrade the CPU to Ryzen, they will have a serious advantage over the PS4 Pro. Should be interesting.

Missed this. Current rumors are its doing what the Pro did. Same Jaguar cores, just overclocked. They may go for a slight upgrade in the cores, forgot what that was called. Still, would only make a small difference.

They are not going to use Ryzen. It has an 8 core CPU you in it. The cheapest 8 core Ryzen is $319 at launch, so MAYBE $250 for MS. Unless you want this sucker to cost $599+, which we know how that works, it ain't getting Ryzen. That'll most likely be saved for the PS5, which after nearly 2 years on the market, should be cheap enough by then for a $399 console.

Well, there's still some time until the Scorpio is coming and Microsoft doesn't need to buy some CPU from the free market. They can just build their own thing (or let it be built by AMD). It really shouldn't be impossible to use the Ryzen architecture and there are countless reasons to go for that. Seriously, a 6 TF GPU would be bottlenecked like no tomorrow by that slow-ass Jaguar CPU. It would be a shame.
