That's was made in speculation thread without MS's plans being visible. It was AMD that linked Ryzen with Scorpio.

Notice the topic's title i.e. rumor.
Notice I even have 40 CU version just like the real X1X. I didn't expect a smaller box than XBO S, hence dropping higher clock speed version.
It's pretty close to what I envisage i.e.
1. Better than my old R9-390X and other poster's RX-480 OC. MS selected the better IP blocks from Vega IP pool i.e. NCU is nearly pointless without reducing the bottlenecks with graphics pipeline. It's even nicer to see upgraded PolarisPlus with 40/44 CU which is upgrade for my old R9-390X. The core argument has been reached.
2. Better than simple overclocked Jaguar at 2.3 Ghz. The important part is delivering better CPU results over 12 percent Jaguar overclock above PS4 Pro's Jaguar 2.1 Ghz, hence reducing any argument for X1X having stock a Jaguar design with unsolved high latency design problem.
Ryzen speculation was based from running Doom Vulkan on R9-290 OC with stock quad core Jaguar at 2.3 Ghz OC, but MS has offered alternative to Ryzen i.e.
a. Custom DirectX12 command processor with microcoding support. MS and EA DICE sources. Reduce CPU workload up to a half.
b. Low latency Jaguar improvements. AMD and MS sources. Half of Ryzen's data and instruction feed improvements, hence AMD can claim Scorpio being linked with Ryzen.
c. Very efficient XBO APIs over other APIs. EA DICE sources i.e. better than PC's DirectX12/Vulkan.
Points a, b and c covered the need for mobile Ryzen and +3 Ghz mobile Excavator. The core argument has been reached.
Your arguments about ronvalencia are not about system wars, but personality war.

For instance, you claimed the X1X was going to cost $399. You were only off by $100, but someone like you who works in the industry shouldn't come up that wrong.

According to Windows Central, Scorpio has a $399 price target.

The APU BOM cost difference is about 12 percent.

4 GB vs 8 GB difference between RX-480 4GB vs 8GB variants is $36 at retail price hence whole sale price is less e.g. $18 extra.
Scorpio doesn't have PS4 Pro's 1 GB DDR3 cost.
Looking at $450 price range. The price could be lower later in 2017.
Scorpio could surf HDMI 2.1 4K UHDTV upgrade wave.
The above is my own speculation.
Above my post with "Looking at $450 price range", I used 500 GB 7200 RPM HDD while the real X1X has 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD and 8 GB Flash memory.
