It's mostly for the HDR support they said and it won't make any difference in games in graphical quality

Digital Foundries tests show the "S" does indeed impact game performance positively but only by a tiny bit, Graph/video at 1:48 -

Also the 4K upscaling is supposed to be pretty good.
The ultra-HD bluray support is pretty good too.

The problem seems to be the CPU, I guess what would happen if they chose to overclock the cpu instead...

Game performance yes, but not IQ. All it really does is help maintain it's framerate. 7% OC doesn't really grant enough of a performance difference for better IQ.

Supposed to be, but that'll be for media content mostly, HDR could effect game IQ if it's enabled, but then may run into the consistent framerate issue the original One has.

Review sites have noted that the 4K upscaler has improved IQ to some degree in current games such as Sunset Overdrive.

Also HDR output shouldn't affect performance at all since most games use a HDR pipeline until the final image anyway.

It shouldn't, but that's what Phil Spencer said.

How are the temps on hese things I wonder. Too bad no OC for CPU.
