Right. So it really shouldn’t be seen as “the same old Jaguar from Xbox One”. More like a real beefed up one, not just overclocked….I’m aight with that

you know, maybe you should listen to the last part of that same video you referenced or read the last paragraph of that same article…..hint: it’s all speculation other than the removal of esram and double L2 cache.

so true. even when you see that Zen uses 8MB L2 and 16MB L3 cache so to me there’s still a high possibility there’s a Zen chip inside or Microsoft just went ahead and edit the jaguar cores as they like.

Interesting Luke. Curious observation made. Personally I’m still hyped for Scorpio. But it would blow up in peoples’ face if Scorpio uses Zen and/or Vega lol

Well it’s 2 more TFLOPS, but I hear u

I kinda see what ur sayin. UWP vs old engines…

Yup. And it should

Bro, again the checkerboard rendering is for old titles running older engines before UWP or that didn’t use it.

UWP wasn’t there at launch at just recently MS declared it mandatory to use that platform because that’s their push for one platform.

Games such as RE7, Recore, GOW4, FH3, QB etc. . All implement the new feature and platform.

Write once run anywhere.

What the white paper is explaining is, reaching 4K on old games.

Basically, unlike PS4 Pro which only a few old titles run @ 4k resolution. With Xbox One Scorpio and it’s software implementation, all old Xbox One titles will run at 4k resolution through checkerboard rendering.

All 1st party titles will run @ 4k natively.

And that’s straight from the horse’s mouth not some side-show site like digital foundry.

Just wait till MS speaks.

Watch the video ( 6.24 – 7.20 ) in which the man that made the acrticle stated “So not the true 4k machine that MS stated it was back at E3 2016” STILL using Checkerboard 4K rendering and upscaling techniques that Sony employs on the PS4-Pro and not all native resolutions being used like a true 4k machine.

New news as follows…

“Thomas Mahler, Game Director, explains how the x86 architecture of
current consoles enable future-proof games and describes the Scorpio as a ‘next-gen’ machine”

Thanks! /s

I’ve already said what I needed to above.

No need to be redundant.
