So what's the chances of AMD's new card powering the PS neo? I think they are pretty high, in fact the new xbox and neo could be powered by the same card.

Haha that would be pretty funny.

What are the specs on AMD's new card?

Dont no exact but they say its 5.5 TF. And it just make too much sense not to pass up on it. It should be around a 970 level of performance.

Digital Foundry: Neo GPU are point-for-point a match for RX 480 - NeoGAF

Quotehttp://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...ng-performance
QuoteIt's also worth noting that - clock-speeds and resultant TFLOPs aside - the specs for RX 480 are point-for-point a match for the GPU in Sony's upcoming PlayStation Neo, all but confirming that the Sony mid-gen console refresh uses both Polaris technology and the new 14nm FinFET chip manufacturing process.

 
I guess this is nothing new since we knew it would use the Polaris Architecture. We can assume, however, that the aggressive pricing could be a result of Sony already ordering huge amounts of the GPU for Neo, letting AMD relax the price for the standalone GPU.
 What I find interesting is that the RX480 matches the GTX980 in performance. The latter was the top tier GPU 1,5 years ago, and will be 2 years old by the time PSNeo is rumored to release. If Sony can sell the console for $399 and new game releases takes advantage of the extra power the possibility is high that quite a few of the 'hard core' gamers will upgrade.
 Looking further down the line, if this trend continues we could see new consoles releasing every second year for rather low prices. When off-the-shelf hardware is used R&D costs for new consoles is reduced immensely. This is a far cry from the days of PS2 and PS3 where the custom hardware were huge investments.

 Is this in any way confirmed for Scorpio?

 
No it is not which leads me to believe the XB1 is done.

 The last rumor I heard was that Sony was still deciding on what CPU to go with. Either stick with the Jaguars or go with another CPU (presumably Zen) and charge a higher price tag.

 While it's likely that Neo is locked down already I do wonder, does this give Sony some wiggle room that they can add in better cooling and allow the clock speeds to be upped? Is that kind of last minute design change even remotely possible?

 Truthfully, Sony could launch Neo at $299 (they most likely won't).  Whenever Scorpio launches, Sony is on easy street because they have a pretty big margin of wiggle room when it comes to BOM.

 
"The current devkit is not a final representation of the PS4 Neo it is a baseline. Sony is well aware of what  Microsoft is doing. They are still weighing the pros and cons of the final retail units specifications."
 There was something else in that message that I omitted (for reasons) but it basically stated that the OG PS4 ram situation and the Neo cpu situation could be very similar.
