| EricHiggin said: Then why say Scorpio uses an evolved version of the Jaguar core in the video? |
Because it's been customized. I will take Eurogamers word for it though, it's Eurogamer afterall.
| EricHiggin said: I'm not bashing the hardware at all, its clearly strong for what it is and highly engineered, but the fact that the direct comparison to Pro leaves out Jaguar and Polaris just seems quite convenient. |
Nothing wrong with providing constructive criticism of the hardware.
| EricHiggin said: Its just a smart thing all around. So many people were starting to think mobile Ryzen and downclocked Vega, me included, and putting that rumor to rest was important well before the full unveiling and E3. By not actually putting Jaguar, Puma or Polaris in the specs description, it not only stops people who think they know tech, from thinking its just the same old slow tech of the past, but also leaves the door open to tech illiterate people who heard it was some new high end Ryzen and Vega parts, potentially leaving them all dissapointed otherwise. |
Before Eurogamer made it's position known on what CPU uArch it was going to use, I was firm on my belief that it was Jaguar/Puma/Puma+ powered. Having unrealistic hardware expectations in a cost-sensitive device is silly. - I ended up right on that front.
We knew it was either going to have high-clocked GDDR5X memory on a 192-bit memory bus. Or GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus and 12GB of memory from the original teaser. So it was good that we had realistic expectations on that front from the start.
Vega is what I wanted (Still do). No doubt about it. It's a massive improvement over Graphics Core Next in allot of aspects.
