Following today's report from Kotaku and Microsoft blogger Brad Sams, Microsoft wants its major Xbox revision planned for 2017, codename Scorpio, to outperform PlayStation 4 Neo in terms of raw power.
This updated info comes from sources that spoke to Polygon. The original PS4 operates at 1.84 teraflops. Compare that to Xbox One's 1.32 teraflops, which has given Sony an edge. According to Polygon's sources, Xbox "Scorpio" will aim to hit peak performance at 6 teraflops. On the other hand, the PS4 Neo documents given to Giant Bomb's Austin Walker show Sony's updated console shooting for 4.14 teraflops.
"Microsoft is determined to end this narrative," Polygon writes.
"Teraflops" probably doesn't mean much to most consumers. The long and short of it is that Microsoft wants Scorpio to outpace PS4 Neo in terms of framerate and resolution: faster, steadier, prettier—all key adjectives in communicating "We're better than our competition."
Next year's Xbox upgrade may also receive a redesigned controller.
Scorpio won't make its way to consumers until sometime in 2017. In the meantime, today's report indicates that Microsoft plans to unveil a slimmer Xbox One at E3 next month, likely to start a push to get the slimmer console into consumers' hands this holiday season.
