The Xbox One S will still run on semi-custom AMD SoCs which is obviously more powerful as it will enable 4K video streaming and HDR support. The Xbox team shared more technical details in a blog post yesterday.

On the official product page for the Xbox One S, Microsoft clarified that HDR functionality will be “available with supported games and TVs” which means that it’s up to developers to implement it into their games. Furthermore, according to what The Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson explained yesterday to Polygon it’s up to developers optimize their games for the Xbox One S.

According to Fergusson, the Xbox One S has additional raw GPU and CPU power compared to the Xbox One, and The Coalition’s engineers have been able to take advantage of that to reduce the frequency of frame rate or resolution penalties in more demanding sections of the game.

"We have to look at what the engine can do with the power that Scorpio has," said Fergusson.

thats not about the one S

I really dont get why it is necessary to unlock this small performance leap for devolopers if there is the scorpio coming out next year? sounds very confusing at some point with 3 different models to programm for, why not waiting for scorpio?

If its true it would probly just be a small performance boost because of the shrink in size of the processor/gpu and /or maybe different memory used, im sure it wont get all kinds of different versions if its true but I am sure some developers will use it to get small boosts

anybody buying this slim version for Gears here?

Ill get it not for gears but because the xb1 i have now takes up lots of space.

so X1S is actually a PS4Neo competitor...

No, if its true, which isn't confirmed, it is a very slight increase, the neo is more then double the gpu output

A bit late to the party.
