So, will Sony attempt to one-up Project Scorpio for next year?

They need a new console badly. Things will just hum along at best. Nothing here will change the landscape for them over the next year.

GO ROBERT!!! they listened to me just in time.

Now you know why there's no PS4K/NEO announcement.

 

[Scott_Arm]

They say something like 320 GB/s of memory bandwidth? GDDR5X?

 

[Silent_Buddha]

And official endorsement for future and backwards compatibility for Xbox. For not just programs but accessories as well. So basically similar to PC.

I reckon all Sony could do is draw even. 6Tf is impressive for a console launching even at the end of next year. How likely is it AMD have suitable parts more powerful?

GDDR5 on 384-bit bus or GDDR5X on 256-bit

Probably not. Best they can do is improve cooling in the Neo and run the Polaris chip at the full 5.5 tflops. So that means the neo will still be slightly behind spec wise. 6tflops are not good enough for 4k still though. I'd prefer if they went 1080p60 on every title with improved visuals instead of chasing after 4k30.

Do they normally discuss console Tf specifically for just the GPU these days? Because he said a 6Tf gpu, so total system power would be greater, no?

Right.. Game of Thrones calls!

Nice conference, Microsoft.

 

[MrFox]

384bit wide?

This is crazy early to announce.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

So they've also basically confirmed that their platform going forward is Windows and Xbox, they will be inseparable.

Pretty sure he said the SoC had 6Tf but the CPU isn't going to offering much. What's a Skylake i7 @4Ghz, about 270Gf?

I dont know why they announced it so soon. Its going to be late 2017 (nov/dec). The question is, what is the ecosystem going to be, when this is launched will there be scorpio only games that wont work on Xbox one?
