Какой-то странный хайп Майки разводят вокруг Скорпиона. Все, вроде начинают потихоньку визжать с переходом на ультразвук, как только услышат ТТХ консоли. И тут же твиты от руководства: спокуха, все эти навороты только для HDR телеков. Какой-то reasonable marketing получается. Видимо, учёные уже, на анонсе One обожглись, много не обещают. Про цену я и вовсе слышал 400 баксов. И, думается мне, все эти Самсунги Сони и ЭлДжи еще спасибо скажут, ради этой консоли, возможно, продажи модных телевизоров пойдут в гору. Не, ну а чо, Скорпио + новый телек всё равно будут дешевле игрового системника.Вон, на Майкрософтсторе заглянуть, цены аж глаза режут, системники по 180 косых, а то и далеко за 200 переваливают.

Ну жди, жди, ждун =)) А мы пока насладимся скрином из Форцы для Скорпиона:

Еще и 30-40% ресурсов GPU осталось.

Мне кажется, у них сейчас просто задача сделать как Сони с Про, но намного лучше.
С задачей они похоже справились, вот и разводят хайп.

Scorpio Engine
With 6 Teraflops, 326GB/s of Memory Bandwidth and advanced, custom silicon, the Scorpio Engine is the most powerful console gaming processor ever created.

Vapor Chamber
A first for home consoles, Project Scorpio’s Vapor Chamber uses advanced liquid cooling to ensure the Scorpio Engine stays cool.

Centrifugal Fan
A supercharger-style Centrifugal Fan rapidly pulls in and compresses air to deliver maximum cooling with minimum noise.

Hovis Method
To maximize performance and minimize power consumption, Project Scorpio uses the Hovis Method, a cutting edge digital power delivery system that custom tunes each console’s voltage.

Я про такие фичи PS4 Pro от тебя первый раз слышу, хотя новости и рекламу тоже смотрел.

Вот когда запустят на реальной консоли, вот тогда и будем восторгаться. Пока что это хайп.

"The closest equivalent to PlayStation 4 Pro's GPU in the PC space, in pure performance terms, is the Radeon RX 470 or an underclocked RX 480 - both mainstream graphics cards. The latter product typically overclocks to hit the same six-teraflop compute output as Project Scorpio. However, teraflop comparisons here simply do not reflect real-world results. With one or two exceptions, the 'next-gen' upscaling techniques used on PS4 Pro don't tend to exist in the PC space - and software-level PC upscalers that can produce great results still only manifest in a minority of games. On both counts, we expect things to change rapidly, but the bottom line is that right now, consoles are capable of producing some great 4K results even if the technical sleight of hand required to get there means that it's not strictly speaking a 'proper' native ultra HD resolution. This means more bang for your buck from your console purchase.

The bottom line is that Scorpio's six teraflops will almost certainly go a lot further than an equivalent PC part. I asked Microsoft about this specifically, and they raise a number of good arguments that make the case strongly. Firstly, that their shader compiler is far more efficient than PC equivalents (think of shaders as native GPU code). Secondly, addressing the hardware directly via their API and with access to console-specific GPU extensions again adds to the advantage of a fixed platform box. And finally, they point to their optimisation software - PIX (Performance Investigator for Xbox) - as a tool that provides the path to console-specific optimisations that PC simply cannot get.

From what I've seen so far, there is some evidence that Scorpio's true 4K performance could pose a challenge to the likes of Nvidia's GTX 1070 and AMD's Fury X-class hardware. I've seen Microsoft's new console running a Forza Motorsport 6-level experience locked to 4K60 on the equivalent to PC's ultra settings - cranking up the quality presets to obscene levels was one of the first things developer Turn 10 did when confronted with the sheer amount of headroom it had left after a straight Xbox One port. Out of interest, we tested Forza 6 Apex with similar settings at 4K on GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080. Frames were dropped on GTX 1060 (and a lot of them when wet weather conditions kicked in), while GTX 1070 held firm with only the most intense wet weather conditions causing performance dips. Only GTX 1080 held completely solid in all test cases. It's only one data point, and the extent to which the code is comparable at all is debatable, but it certainly doesn't harm Scorpio's credentials: Forza 6 Apex received plenty of praise for the quality of its PC port.

The bottom line: PC games need to evolve to more efficiently address 4K, in order to bring down the cost of GPU hardware to effectively and consistently power an ultra HD screen with the latest games. The best console titles have led the way here, and it's a tradition we expect to see continue on Project Scorpio. If third-party games live up to the first-party results we have seen, where 900p and 1080p games scale up to native 4K, the comparisons with PC hardware will prove absolutely fascinating. If Scorpio's GPU can hold native 4K and hand in results on par or better than GTX 1070, this is a seriously good result for a console."

Если еще и большинство игр от XB1/XB360 без патчей и прочей лабуды будут суперсэмплится хотя бы до 1080p, то это ваще эпик будет.

Ну DF пишет что на железе реальной консоли все запускалось.

Не будут.
И CPU все же Jaguar. GTX 1070 на Amd Duron не ставят.

The new x86 cores in Scorpio are 31 per cent faster than Xbox One's, with extensive customisation to reduce latency in order to keep the processor occupied more fully, while CPU/GPU coherency also gets a performance uplift. There's significant hardware offloading too - some of which is inherited from Xbox One, some of which is radically new. The audio processor in Xbox One is fully transplanted across to Scorpio and gains new functionality - spatial surround, effectively adding a 'height' component to the existing 7.1 set-up. Scorpio is set to receive support for Dolby Atmos for gaming, Dolby Atmos for headphones plus a Microsoft proprietary format called HRTF, developed by the Hololens team. Because the APB (audio processor block) hardware is basically identical to that found in Xbox One, it means that all existing iterations of the console will get the spatial surround upgrade.

Ну если читать не глазами, а слушать не ушами, то не ставят =)
В Скорпио новая архитектура проца, реализация интрепретатора DX12-команд выполнена в железе, и уж что-то, а боттлнека в виде CPU точно не будет.

Вот когда запустят на реальной консоли, вот тогда и будем восторгаться. Пока что это хайп. Странно, что про силу облаков не вбросили))

Так это фичи для разработчиков. Кто ж ее в рекламы будет пихать.

В общем-то обычные спеки. Но ничего другого и не ожидалось вроде. Думаю, MS больше не будут делать поколения. Зачем? Они уже сейчас показали, что готовы просто давать совместимость со старыми играми, и вряд ли есть смысл отказываться от этого.
Так о чем тогда речь? Или то, что сейчас сделали MS — не реклама?

"We essentially moved Direct3D 12," says Goossen. "We built that into the command processor of the GPU and what that means is that, for all the high frequency API invocations that the games do, they'll all natively implemented in the logic of the command processor - and what this means is that our communication from the game to the GPU is super-efficient."

Processing draw calls - effectively telling the graphics hardware what to draw - is one of the most important tasks the CPU carries out. It can suck up a lot of processor resources, a pipeline that traditionally takes thousands - perhaps hundreds of thousands - of CPU instructions. With Scorpio's hardware offload, any draw call can be executed with just 11 instructions, and just nine for a state change.

"It's a massive win for us and for the developers who've adopted D3D12 on Xbox, they've told us they've been able to cut their CPU rendering overhead by half, which is pretty amazing because now the driver portion of that is such a tiny fraction," adds Goossen.
