AFTER their reveal event as a normal part of media engagement. Not as part of the reveal.
At least Nintendo fans had wet dreams about existing hardware (Parker). This whole thing about MS funding Ryzen and AMD creating a new architecture for Scorpio definitely takes the cake.

But it would benefit AMD so much if developers learned to program for Ryzen (btw developers never code directly to the CPU) that there is a really high chance that they actually went and did it!
I love the latests... er.. leaks. they take me back to Xbox One post reveal. "they have only shown the IGPU, there will be another one in the power brick", Data move engines, display planes, ultra fast EDRAM; enabling superior CPU performance (everyone knows GDDR5 could never reliably be used for CPU; it's fact).
The "60% more powerful" -posts are on that level. They inspire and instill hope in a lot of Xbox One fans all over the world.
This generation has not been kind to Xbox fans, at all. Today they think their favourite company can take back the crown.
Console wise this is like the night before Christmas. Anything was possible.
Within 7 hours a lot of dreams and hopes will be crushed, yet a few people will hold on: "They probably just pretended Scorpio didn't have this or that so they can surprise us at E3!!"
The most disappointing thing about all this is not the specs, but the fact that the rumour part as well as the constant implying that people were some kind of insiders will be over after today.
Of course, should it have Zen then everybody will become an insider instantly, so I can certainly see the stakes for a lot of folks
I'm the opposite of an XBox fan. Generally speaking, I abhor MS and most tech companies. But what I'm eager to see is another console that pushes boundaries like the PS3 or even more so. Since then, it seems that hardware improvements have been, overall, somewhat modest. In total flops, the PS3 CPU beat the PS4 CPU even though the PS4 CPU was probably far more efficient. The transition from the WiiU to the Switch was also meager -- going from a console to a lower powered hybrid. I would love to see ANY console maker come out with a cutting edge machine that pushed to be the most powerful on the market by a non-trivial margin. What I really do NOT want to see a little baby steps using similar hardware again and again. I'd love for the PS5 to use a cutting edge NVIDIA GPU, for example.
My hope for the Scorpio is that they have done SOMETHING truly innovative and significant to give it an advantage over the PS4 Pro other than just slap in a slight to moderately more powerful GPU/CPU. Cutting edge ray tracer chip, an innovative new architecture that makes the system super efficient, a few dozen fixed function processors, ultra fast cache: the Scorpio needs something to set it apart.
Looks like to not trash ryzen's performance are sufficient best practices and not to write to the metal, or to the silicon in this case...
Herm... We do code directly to the CPU...
We call that ASM or instrinsics (I favor the latter it's way more readable).
Granted it's only a small part of our code, but for a given architecture it's not necessarily instructions that matter, but data flow... (Which don't need ASM nor intrinsics.)

dunno, but if that were true I would certainly need a hug. And some other people could feel something very good in some parts, a lot of blood would go thereSounds like misterxmedia, is it him?
There are a lot of news site publishing "insider's leak" stating basically that it will be more powerfull than the one and that it will be able to run games at 4k.
Basically obvious and very old info.
People's reaction in the comments are euphoric.
There's so much hype in the air that anything less than the max hardware configuration will backfire terribly

I have a feeling that all those sites are just repeating what other sites have posted. Echo chamber basically.
Most (all?) leading back to Jez, Windows central. I'm not saying what he's wrote is made up, or even wrong, just that he's the source, which then get's blown up even more as it expands out.
