40 Compute Units (2560 Cores)
1172MHz
12GB (8GB available for devs)
326 GB/s
CPU is just a 2.3GHz Jaguar Octocore.
Vega technology might be here, as that's the most logical way to get such a high clock speed. Or 16nm FF provides better clocks. Polaris 10 modified is in PS4 Pro and it runs at 911MHz (unclear if 14nm or 16nm). It is uncut. Xbox 1 is essentially a 7790 cut from 896 to 768 Cores, so it too has a dGPU equivalent.
However, console APUs do not necessarily get a GPU equivalent. PS4 uses a GCN 2 (aka 1.1, Hawaii timeline) with a 1280 Core chip cut to 1152. No such GCN 2 chip was ever made for dGPU.
But with AMD R&D budget not through the moon, I would guess we could see an equivalent in Vega 11. Vega 11 could be 2560 Cores, or cut down from 3072 or 2816. Note: or none of those! And does the 12GB indicate 384-bit GDDR5 for Vega 11? Maybe.
Monkey math: Polaris 10 1266MHz in dGPU, PS4 Pro 911Mhz. If Vega scales the same from console to dGPU, we are looking at over 1600MHz. Note: they almost certainly do not use the same ratios.
Gigantic increase from Xbox 1, and meaningfully faster than PS4 Pro even assuming no IPC change.
Xbox 1: 853MHz 768 Cores (28nm GCN 2?)
PS4: 800MHz 1152 Cores (28nm GCN 2)
Xbox 1 S: 914MHz 768 Cores (GCN 2 on 16nm Finfet?)
PS4 Pro: 911MHz 2304 Cores (similar to Polaris 10 / GCN 4)
Scorpio: 1172MHz 2560 Cores (Vega / GCN 5? or 16nm FF Polaris modified?)
Anyone think Vega 11 is here?
