The new Xbox Scorpio should be powered by a 14nm design, while it packs 6 TFlops of performance, ready for 4K/VR gaming - and aimed at a 2017 release. AMD has confirmed that it has its semi-custom SoC in the new Xbox, but we don't know what exactly powers Xbox Scorpio, but I'd say it's a Zen/Polaris-based design.
