I literally couldn't leak or answer a question that went beyond "Can I do this? Does it support that? How many of these could it render?"



What I do remember is that it's beefier than I expected. Click to expand...

Hawk269 said: That could be it too. But I think when someone says "beefier" it most likely means that he thought it was going to be at a certain power level and it is "beefier" than what he thought it was going to be. If he was thinking going in it is 6tf GPU and then told it is a 6tf GPU, the words "it is beefier than I thought" would not really come to mind. Back to your point though, it could be that he thought he could render "x" amount with 6tf and after whatever he was shown that with the same 6tf gpu he could render a lot more of "x" than what he thought which resulted in the beefier comment. What does that mean? ZEN of course! lol <kidding> with that last part! Click to expand...

I really didn't want to go there with this one, and I make no assumptions as to what he really means, but I've always been looking at that 6TF number and honestly thought based on what we're seeing regarding Vega, the 6TF number could be Microsoft playing it safe. I've always held personally they believe internally they can manage to get something higher than 6TF on the GPU side come release, but they didn't want to imply such publicly just in case it doesn't work out that way. But if they reveal come the proper unveiling of Scorpio that it's more than 6TF, possibly 7, maybe 8 or 9, not a damn thing about it would surprise me lol. Okay, 8 or 9 would surprise me, but the idea of it being more than 6TF wouldn't.edit: Having a little fun with the comment: There's no way he would have forgotten the publicly released info on Scorpio, the stuff the rest of us all know because he gets bombarded with it everywhere you look on the internet. Presumably in order for anything about Scorpio to be beefier than he expected, it seems a safe assumption that some aspect of it surprised him BEYOND what we already know publicly. For whatever it's worth, that is reason enough to be hopeful.
