its the processing required ...
not only does the actual GAME need to be processed BUT quite possibly 16 other render targets need to be generated and streamed to 16 smartglass devices ?!
and the input sensor info * 8 controlers + * 16 smartglass devices that also needs processing (cpu or coprocessors) ...
Anyway I know that this is the extreme case BUT im still thinking thru the architecture of writing games for XB1 (im a dev just making sense of this console)...
cpu got a clock increase to 1.75ghz

ms has never said they were going to render to 16 devices. they simply said 16 devices smart glass devices can be connected to xbox. they also said in a separate statement that they'll be able to do remote rendering via smartglass.
i dont think the input from controllers is a big deal, ps3 supported 7 controllers because of bt. and lets face it i doubt anyone is going to have 8 controllers activey being used as well as 16 tablets/smartphones.

im not
Then why do you imagine the need for obscene levels of CPU/GPU just to respond to or send out basic information streams?

I understand that ... I look at what "The Division" did with their smart glass companion app and think (as a dev) well can I do several of these simultaneously.

Its a pretty awesome real-time companion experience with the main game.
Regardless I still stand behind my opinion that there must be so much we still don't know about the Xbox One architecture..
I was more worried about cpu speed than gpu speed.
cpu seems relatively weak so any upclock is good in my books.

its not basic info... see my post above with link to "The Division" smartglass app
All that processing is done by the tablet device and only the basic game info is sent to/from the tablet. There is no remote rendering being done by Xbox console. Hence your confusion with power requirements.

Are you a dev and with experience in this?
I personally don't know how that would work where the smartglass device does the game rendering .. smartglass needs to work on iPads/Androids/Surfaces etc. and having each of those guaranteeing a level of synchronisity and performance so that the game running on that device is in sync with the game running on the console ... HOW?!
The only way I can see this working is the game is being streamed and presented on the Device.. and all the device is doing is rendering the "pre rendered" texture or surface and responding to user sensory/gesture information then streaming that back to the Xbox One..
I honestly can't see it working the way your saying!
1.6GHz, or perhaps something like the upclock X1 got. Or not.
Durango's CPU side does of the APU does have some enhancements that differentiate it from other Jaguar chips.
If the 10% upclock was arrived at equivalent yields and power, it's a decent indicator of better or improved yields versus any negative rumors.
Coupled with some buffing of the CPU-NB interface and coherent bus, the CPU side of Durango sounds like it has an extra bit of performance to leverage.

I'm sure 1.6Ghz would have done just fine. It would have had to
It's just imo the cpu was the weakest part in the box, so I was always more curious what the final speed of the cpu was going to end up being.
If the PS4 was at 2.5Ghz+ compared to XB1 then I would've been more worried for the XB1.
Not because of d*ck waving, but due to multiplatform titles.
