I know this is all speculation at this point, but what is the reason for all the speculation of MS using a higher end Navi GPU? Just last year we had somewhat reliable information that Navi was being made for Sony.

If that was still the case I would think it's unlikely that MS would be able to just ask AMD for the GPU they're making for the PS5, but faster.
I've noticed a lot of recent speculation has settled around MS having a faster version of Navi, and I was curious why.

Because we had 2 reliable sources (Brad sams and Windowscentral) telling us Microsoft will launch next-gen with 2 skus. So most are expecting a 300$ and 500$ console from microsoft next-gen. We can't be sure what exactly Sony is doing but I think they will stick with one 400$ console only.

So we will probably have a similiar situation that we have now with PS4 pro and Xbox one X. The 500$ console will easily win in performance, this way Microsoft can have both the cheapest and the most powerful console next-gen.
