Did you two even read my post? it would require extensive customisation just to get it to work with the GDDR5. The only performance improvements the digital foundry article even mentions are around latency to keep the CPU fed which probably relates to higher latency GDDR5 they are now using...
So when he says:
You read:There's significant hardware offloading too - some of which is inherited from Xbox One, some of which is radically new.
Offloading tasks to hardware is totally about latency and not at all about freeing up performance on the CPU.
Gotcha.
edit:
" All signs point to the upclocked Jaguar cores we find in Xbox One, and Scorpio's CPU set-up is indeed an evolution of that tech, but subject to extensive customisation and the offloading of key tasks to dedicated hardware."
I guess that's more of that special dedicated anti-latency hardware.
