The CPU will be upgraded even if it has Jaguar. The Whitepaper on Scorpio says the L2 cache was quadrupled over the Xbox One, which means 16MB total rather than a paltry 4MB. That is a boost to the CPU just there, so one must assume other aspects got reworked also.

Dear lord. That tweet is terrible.
But the thing that sets it apart is his trump-like rhetoric of "Believe it, it's guarenteed." And that bullshit I can't subscribe to unless he provides this thing called "evidence".
Scorpio being a "true" 4k 60fps machine when the PC struggles to achieve it with SUPERIOR hardware, just ain't happening, not with full Ultra settings on all AAA games.
| LudicrousSpeed said: and just a Jaguar CPU, or whatever the step up from that one is, basically a Jaguar at a higher speed, I forget the name of it, for $400. |
Puma. It's not just "Jaguar at a higher speed" though. But it is an evolutionary update to the Cat core found in Jaguar.
| Dark_Feanor said: I could belive a 6 core Rysen variant at lower clock could be feaseble. And we have seen they showing great performance with high end GPUs. However a 8 core Ryzen would be too big (at 14nm it has as much transistors as the XOne SOC and 60% of its area) and that is the number MS gave last year.

It's been confirmed multiple times the console is using 8-cores.
I agree Ryzen is unlikely, digital foundry seems to agree with me on that as well.
