This is why Cerny says this can make many titles not working properly and not "an extremely rare occurence" as you put it Pemalite.

But again this is a little above my knowledge. So I'm probably about 90% right here.

If you can find evidence that points it to being a common occurrence where taking a game from the base Xbox One/Playstation 4 and running it un-patched on the Xbox One X/Playstation 4 Pro introduces timing bugs and so on, then I will retract my statement, because as far as I know... It hasn't happened. Ergo. Not a common occurrence.

Games generally don't tie their tick-rate (The heart-beat a game operates at that everything runs in sync with) to clock rate anymore.
It was stupidly common on the PC back in the DOS days, which is why old-school PC's had a turbo button, so that the PC would operate at a faster and lower clock to keep things that tied their tick rate to clock speed in sync.

You completely misunderstood what Mark Cerny is saying. He choose the Jaguar cpu for Ps4 pro because it will make all ps4 games run flawless and bugfree.

But if he had used an zen cpu many titles would not work properly. I'll make a longer comment below.

 

Anyone knows how I can just quote small part of texts and not the whole wall of text when I press the quote button?
