Corden also talked a bit about a Xbox Scorpio dev kits as good as probable Bluetooth support in a final hardware. There shouldn’t be a Kinect port, though.
Scorpio dev kits have an LCD front row that devs can use to see stats in genuine time too, flattering cool.

According to him, Xbox Scorpio won’t transcend a specifications announced by Microsoft during E3 2016 (8 CPU cores, 6 teraflops of computing power, 320GB/s of memory bandwidth with a thought of achieving “true 4K gaming) yet it will have a betrothed 6 teraflops. This would put it approach forward of PlayStation 4 Pro’s 4.2 teraflops.
@JOIRQ Unlikely. Optimizations always occur over time, though, as devs/tools rise and improve.

@JOIRQ 6TF yep!

Again, Jez Corden done it extravagantly transparent this is not a joke. However, it should be treated as a gossip for now, with all that entails. Still, WindowsCentral is maybe a biggest Microsoft-focused website and it valid a credit over a final few years.
@xLUSTx naw, all I’ve tweeted is not Apr Fools, solely for a thought Microsoft will caring about Windows Phones again

Staying on a Xbox Scorpio trickle topic, it’s value remembering that a integrate months ago Digital Foundry claimed to have seen a whitepaper common by Microsoft on a growth portal.
The essay contained a few some-more tidbits on a specifications. Scorpio won’t underline a ESRAM distinct Xbox One; a GPU will have 4.5x computing energy compared to a XB1 and 4x times L2 cache; a hardware will support delta tone application (DCC) only like PlayStation 4 Pro, with a specific thought to revoke a volume of GPU bandwidth consumed to describe tone pixels.
We’ll see if Microsoft chooses to betray a extended Xbox One, Scorpio, subsequent week. Even if it doesn’t, we should know a lot some-more in a subsequent integrate months heading adult to E3 2017 (June 13-15, Los Angeles Convention Center).
