I Think this reveal was actually really smart for overselling the system. DF made the cpu sound non Jaguar so the Zen group are more ok with it. The narrative of Forza 6 being 4k 60 fps without optimization or full GPU usage is also really selling the idea that this is a 4k 60 fps machine.

By the time E3 comes around and 30fps games are shown, the devs will get the blame instead of the hardware.
The DF reveal was a PR move even AnandTech said that... like they just reveled exactly what MS said to them without doubt or try to look if it is practical what MS said to them.

Well, some of the details have come to the surface through a PR reveal with Eurogamer's Digital Foundry.
AnandTech is pretty used to PR slides with these type of info but what matter what the end is the result of the system with real test done... AMD, nVidia, Intel do a lot of these PR reveal in PC world.
