Bummer Oh well. Can't think of anything that's coming this year I'll be getting now.

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.
So HVEC streaming from the Xbox One to PC is finally coming? http://images.anandtech.com/doci/93...tion.png?_ga=1.137868725.443467960.1378894044Was the technology inside the APU itself already covered?
The APU must be using at least display controllers from Polaris, since AMD's previous display controllers can't handle HDR in movies, and I believe same applies to UVD.
Maybe it's Polaris-based, with slightly higher CPU clocks too?
No one reads back a page or two before posting...?
was wondering about this, make it work outside home network to the streaming dongle (if its a real thing) and would have a good remote xo-s streaming with new xbox controller.So HVEC streaming from the Xbox One to PC is finally coming? http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9319/Slide 38 - Win 10 Acceleration.png?_ga=1.137868725.443467960.1378894044
(I know, it's lame...)
My bad. Well, it's important enough to post twice!No one reads back a page or two before posting...?
So, is the assumption that Xbox One S is polaris architecture because of HDR? That would mean, even clock for clock it should have improvements solely from architectural improvements. Or do older GCN cards support HDR? sebbbi posted in the neo thread that GCN 3 is not directly backwards compatible with GCN 2/1. If Xbox One S is GCN4.0, would that suggest GCN4.0 is backwards compatible with GCN3.0? Otherwise they'll have to do some funky stuff behind the scenes to make Original games work on Slim. Would be kind of dumb? Or does the VM, api abstraction make that a lot less complicated?
Edit: Just found the answer to one of my own questions. Older versions of GCN do support HDR, so it is very possible it's just a shrink with a higher clock speed, right? Not sure when H.265 decode was added.

aren't all the games programed on a form of DX making compatability easier than something like sony using linux
300 and onwards supports HDR on "Gaming and photos", Polaris and onwards supports HDR on "Gaming, photos and videos". Xbox One S has to use at least DisplayController (and UVD?) from Polaris, even if the new GCN architecture wouldn't be includedI think AMD has said cards from 300 series onward will suport HDR. So wouldn't that not include Xbox One?
I totally agree. At the moment the XBox One is consistently cheaper than the PS4 worldwide yet is selling much less. MS needs to dramatically reduce the cost, although I mentioned that it will reduce the XBox One cost by $50 I don't think it is enough, as I fully expect Sony to drop the PS4 price by $50 as well.
Going by rumoured specs etc (although we will find out in a few hours the truth), it looks like the XBox One S is really only a sliming down and thats it. Yes it's got a bigger HDD and can stream 4K, but is it really going to get sales going? I doubt it.
Sony has MS over a barrel and unless MS does something really drastic/dramatic like included a 4K BR Drive and releases it at $299 for the 2TB version, then they are in trouble.
