Ryzen R5 CPU's launching April 11th I believe? 4c/8t models in that line up. Wonder if they have anything in common since Scorpio was supposed to be an 8 core chip (4cX2 Jag). 1400X, 3.2GHz, 4c/8t, retails at $169. With direct to AMD pricing could XB get a custom 8c/16t CPU made for $200?

"Compact design" due to advances in cooling? Is this because of the centrifugal blower fan design shown in the E3 teaser? No way this thing is water cooled right?

So close to the Switch launch as well. XB trying to take away someone else's momentum, or borrow a little bit of it for themselves?

Pumped to know what exactly is inside this thing.

Well the Scorpio isn't competing with the NS but with the PS4Pro but I think its more lifting on the hype of 4k content/4k televisions becoming the standard, just like sony did last year. Yeah I am also really pumped to know whats inside last year Phil Spencer did say the scorpio technology wasn't available to launch it closer so it would make no sense for it to have the same ancient cpu as the current gen consoles I think Ryzen is a given personally.

But obv. its a waiting game it will be a game changer in framerates for open world games and in native 4k, altough cpu's are generally not the "biggest" deal in this because the PS4/XBO/Ps4Pro all use a laptop cpu it does become a bottleneck.

Anyway all we know is it has 320gb/s memory bandwith with 12GB GDDR5X and a 8 "core" cpu with a 6tflops card right now, I think the recently announced RX580, which is a little over 6Tflops and hosts a refresh of the ps4pro graphics card technology would be the obvious choise as whats in the GPU, combine that with the bigger memory bus, memory amount, memory speed and potentially a faster CPU and yeah Xbox is right that will be an extremely visable difference as proven on pc's with those kinds of differences many times.

Also I think Horizon Zero Dawn runs from 1800P upscaled, which is 75% native 4k, so with that speed boost it could run that game in native 4k, obv its a ps4 exclusive but its also one of the better looking games this generation, so microsoft can make its claims come true, my GPU in my PC does many games native 4k especially if I would target 30fps and its quite a bit slower then their target.
