Xbox One Scorpio targeting higher peak performance than PS4 Neo
With yesterday’s reports of Microsoft working on not one, but two new Xbox SKUs, a lot have started wondering about the sort of power Microsoft wants to achieve with the Scorpio.
In Polygon‘s report, the site’s sources revealed that Microsoft is not interested in having another PS4 vs Xbox One situation, where most games rendered at lower resolutions and/or ran at lower frame-rate on its console.
The company is reportedly targeting a 6 teraflops peak power for Xbox One Scorpio, which puts it ahead of PlayStation 4 Neo’s reported 4.14 teraflops target. Teraflops is way of measuring overall computational power, but doesn’t necessarily tell us specific details like the type of GPU used, CPU speeds etc.
When asked to elaborate his earlier comments regarding releasing upgraded Xbox One consoles more frequently, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said Microsoft will only release a new console if it’s a considerable upgrade over the current unit.
This could mean that Scorpio will cost more than the Neo, though the report indicates that Microsoft is still working on a price, as well as ways to ease consumers into the idea.
With that in mind, and in the content of this week’s reports, the move to make a more powerful unit than the competition makes a lot more sense. That said, targets are one thing, actual real world performance is another, and we’ll just have to wait and see.
Scorpio could be revealed at E3 this year, or possibly sometime prior to E3 2017, to start a push for the new unit until its eventual release later that year. It’s not clear at this stage if that was Microsoft’s plan all along, or if the recent PS4 Neo reports pressured it somehow.

Well make sure theres no mistakes... I haven't had any problems with my xb1 as of yet.
I've had tones of problems with my XB1 that's one of the reasons I've sold the console couple months back. PS4 FTW!
the operating system before the updated one was shit, the xbox one was slow af for years and tbh its still slow. I switched over to pc gaming due to the fact the xb1 and ps4 just cant run everything as well on 1080p and 60fps. I hate this 30 fps bs

I think this is gonna be a terrible idea. What about all the consumers who've invested in the xbox one, only to have a better performance one released a few years later? Current owners better be able to trade in their current xbox one and receive the Scorpion for like 20 bucks or Microsoft is **** up hard.

Honestly I feel it's going to be very little, possibly none at all, visible changes for us.
