Who knows. For all we know Scorpio doesn't have a big CPU bump either. It's a TDP problem more than anything. Sticking a huge GPU in a die will limit what you can do with your CPU.

Patrick Klepek: Sony possibly looking at increasing Neo specs due to Scorpio
- Thread starter Obliterator
- Start date
Shawn Layden says this is not going to cellphone model situation. I say in 3 years after Neo release they will announce PS5

This is what I'm expecting if they do indeed up spec. Just up clock speeds a bit and maybe throw another 2 or so GB of RAM in there

If there is little software that actually takes full advantage of the hardware then wtf does it matter? If people are just getting close to final kits now, how much work do you think is being done to make these Neo enabled versions that will be patched or whatever.
?
Same with scorpio and that's a ways out still. Unless we straight up see 4k games or something does it really matter at this point? What if Sony shows this thing off in September and shows like Uncharted 4 running on it, but at 60fps, with better AA or something?
Are people really going to go banana's at a uprezzed game that runs a little better? I don't see the reason to play arms race, if this thing is indeed slated for fall. Just go through with the plan you had, keep pumping out great games, and you seriously have nothing to worry about. By the time Scorpio comes out, your going to have your big games looking better, or just as good on OG PS4 that to me will make this arms race look pointless.

Are you sure you know what you typed here?
The PS5 will be announced around 12 months after the reveal of the Neo, really?
And I imagine the failure of the Xbox One allows Microsoft to try things like the Scorpio?
That's what I'm expecting too. I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves here...
lol i am sure there was a meeting to discuss their options now that scorpio was announced way too early to their surprise. I am sure it wasn't some wide spread panic of what to do and throwing all their existing plans.The point that sony doesn't need to be concerned is still true. now that scorpio is going higher they may be able to go a bit higher as well
Yep I agree.

I have a hard time believing it. Sony bulldozed the competition with the first and second Playstation machines, both of which had to contend with more powerful consoles around. But who knows?

They should focus on lower price than Scorpio and it not being a jet.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Lot of people buy Console to play third party games. So no, 4TF or 6TF will appeal to different people for different reasons.

Probably like how the XB1 had a last minute CPU overclock for the same reason.
The lack of concrete information is intriguing despite of the fact that on how much stuff this has been leaked.
A question, back when Andrew House confirmed Neo's existence, did he do it because it would be pointless to hide it anyways? I feel like it was like a "well since it's already out there, might as well admit it."
But different options discussion was in the table before Scorpio announcement according to previous rumors.

Considering they started pushing the PS4 as the most powerful console ever made, it seems some priorities have changed.

Good lord i hope so between a 4k TV, Xbox One S and soon PSVR and at least 8 $60 games between now and November my wallet needs a good break.
I suspect Price not Power is going to determine both Scorpio and Neo's success.
If Sony can price the Neo and regular PS4 at significantly lower price than the Scorpio (at the time of its launch) then i suspect it will have another winner. Especially if the Scorpio (much like Neo) will be limited by their siblings.

I think expecting something like a different CPU or GPU is crazy talk, so I wouldn't even go there.
RAM increase and upped clocks make the most sense as they could be somewhat easily achieved while still giving a decent boost

If final dev kits go out in September this is a 2017 release.

Yup! Summer drought is real on Xbox One and has been every year it's been out! It didn't matter with the PS2 it doesn't matter much now either.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
They should be. They should also be pushing back the launch to mid to late 2017.

How come they wouldnt have increased the clock speed in the first place if they can? Does it make the parts more expensive?
Absolutely. Just do the thing!
What?

Well if the rumours are anything to go by regarding the reveal in September,we will possibly find out soon.Its sort of obvious they'd look at improving the specs
Obliterator

Main reason is likely cooling, but they may have found a way to up the clocks while keeping it cool without much of a price increase
We have no idea if MS is going to provide those specs or at what price.
Lolll this a fucking joke right?

Assuming Neo releases this year, I'm not sure they could bump up in a significant way. But you know what? If it doesn't affect the originally intended final price then any improvement is welcomed.
Hopefully this in turn means Microsoft uses the extra year to improve final Scorpio specs further as well.
Which...I guess will then in turn inspire Sony to go beast mode for PS5?
Oh god this is going to get crazy isn't it?

Proper 4k indie gaming.

Even at 6TF, neither system can do 4K effectively with current visuals. The gap is also only as wide as it was between X1 and PS4 only neither system will have huge bottlenecks this time. Or at least shouldn't.

The war is changing.
There are too many credible people saying its happening for it to be fake.
