That's pretty obvious, they wanna push the TF number so high as they can, cutting back Vram makes sense. It looks like they are indeed gonna be using FLEX MODE. 10GB fast Vram and 3GB Slow Vram for games, total 13GB.

You are not making any sense. To get to 16G on a 320bit bus, You'd install:

6 2G chips on 3 controllers, 4 1G chips on 2 controllers.

This means you'd spend a lot of money on 5 instead of only 4 controllers on the die (unlike 8 2G chips like on the PS5), you preorder a "small" mixture of 2G and 1G chips instead of a single, large order of 2G chips (again adding costs, and bureaucracy on top of it). If the XSX has indeed a 320 bit bus (which is not out of possibility, as people seem to see 10 ram chips on the dev unit), it would be 10 2G chips for a total of 20GBytes. Then if you wished you could work your ways into splitting the system into a partially divided cpu/gpu memory access structure but I highly doubt this would make any sense.

And lastly, high TFlop numbers always mean high memory bandwidth, so you'd want as wide a bus as possible (particularly since ray tracing is a serious burden on the bus).

If you use 4 Memory controllers it only gives 448GB/s bandwidth, it's to low for 12TF GPU. Or Microsoft do you as you suggest, 5 memory controllers for 560GB/s memory speed with 20GB Vram, but instead mix 1GB and 2GB sticks for total 16GB Vram and save themself a lot of money. I think you agree with that.

The 9.2TF number IS BACK FROM THE DEAD.

Not really. Don't hold weight to any rumor.

They all will have 8Core zen2 CPU and 1TB SSD at NVMe speed.

NVMe speed? That is a broad statement... And a useless one at that too.
It could be 50MB/s it could be 2,500MB/s... So which is it?

It doesn't matter what speed they have, they will load games in 2 seconds no matter what. What matters is, will Lockhart sell with no Disc-player? Is the price of Xbox series X to high compared to PS5? I think microsoft must launch that console at $450 to compete with PS5.

Xbox consoles at 1.5GB/s speed?

PS5 at 2.5GB/s speed?
