AMD will be making the Xbox One Project Scorpio SoC

[WYP]

AMD will be Microsoft's Xbox One Project Scorpio with a new Semi-custom SoC design.

Please not DDR3.

I am almost certain that it is not DDR3, but right now we do not have any confirmation.

The memory performance that they have talked about is a lot higher than what I would expect from and DDR3 or DDR4.

Isn't the current Xbox One DDR3 and ESRam?

Pretty sure they would go DDR5...Natural step forward

We've known AMD would be making them, just no specs. It'll probably be G5X memory in order to reach that bandwidth

If anything, I'm surprised Microsoft haven't considered HBM especially since AMD are looking at implementing it onto their Zen APUs. Something for Sony instead perhaps?

To expensive and would take longer to implement.

Implementing HBM on an APU is something that AMD has not done before.

It is complex to connect memory to both a CPU and GPU is a tricky proposition. It is better/cheaper for AMD to stick to what they already know here.

Fair points, I know AMD hasn't done an APU with HBM before, I just thought about it because I remember reading about AMD working on an APU with HBM thinking that considering performance, heat, form factor and such, consoles would be a good implementation of it.

Could be, Although GDDR5 memory has been able to reach 384GB/s for quite some time now using an overclock and not overclocked sits at a base of 336GB/s on the 980 Ti and that is just bog standard GDDR5.

Will be interesting to see the specs though

Yeah it could be either one. But if they wanted to secure the edge of the PS4 Neo or whatever I think 5x would be a good highlighting point. Sony has been ahead in the memory department since the PS3 so it would be a big win for MS in a marketing standpoint.. Because X makes everything better lol

True, without an X or HD in it, it has to be old school! Can't even brush your teeth without HD
