'''Scorpio Engine''' is a {{arch|64}} [[octa-core]] [[x86]] SoC designed by [[AMD]] and [[Microsoft]] for their ''Xbox One X''. The chip features eight {{amd|Enhanced Jaguar|l=arch}} cores operating at 2.3 GHz and a custom {{amd|Arctic Islands|l=arch}}-based GPU operating at 1.172 GHz. Fabricated on [[TSMC]]'s [[16 nm process|16FF+]], this chip supports 12 (24 for Dev) GiB of 12-channel GDDR5-6800 memory.

== Overview ==
Like the ''PlayStation 4'' and the ''Xbox One'', the ''Xbox One X'' is also powered by a chip based on [[AMD]]'s architectures. The ''Scorpio Engine'' most important goal was achieving true [[4K]] gaming performance according to John Sell, a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft who presented the chip at [[Hot Chips]] 29. Fabricated on [[TSMC]]'s [[16 nm process]], the chip contains 7 billion [[transistors]] on a 359 mm² [[die]], similar in amount to [[Nvidia]]'s {{nvidia|GTX 1080}} and almost the same size as the original Xbox One SoC (which was 363 mm² on a [[28 nm process]]).

Like the original Xbox One SoC, the chip feature eight Jaguar cores. The cores have been {{amd|Enhanced Jaguar|lightly enhanced|l=arch}} and operate at a higher frequency of 2.3 GHz, but are otherwise mostly identical. It's worth pointing out that [[AMD]] has not commercialized a 16 nm Jaguar processor outside of this chip.

== Memory controller ==
The memory architecture of the Scorpio Engine is very different from the previous generational chip. The entire memory subsystem was redesigned to address the major deficiencies in prior chips. In previous chip, Microsoft chose to go with 8 GiB of quad-channel [[DDR3]] on-board operating at 2133 MT/s for a total system memory [[bandwidth]] of 63.58 GiB/s. That was fairly low by any standard; at the time the PS4 SoC had a peak memory bandwidth of 163.9 GiB/s. In an attempt to mitigate the lack of bandwidth, the chip incorporated 32 MiB of [[eSRAM]] with a bus of 1,024-bit in each direction for a total bandwidth of 190 GiB/s. While this reduced the cost of memory considerably, it increased the cost in terms of die area (which would be roughly 1.6B transistors). Additionally, this architecture also made the programming model more complicated to work with.

The Scorpio Engine made a 180-degree turn vs previous chip architecture-wise. The entire memory subsystem has been re-designed with GDDR5 and high bandwidth in mind. The previous 32 MiB of [[eSRAM]] has been eliminated. Instead, Scorpio has a maximum bandwidth of 304 GiB/s through a 384-bit wide [[DRAM]] interface with an effective transfer of 6800 MT/s. The bandwidth increase has effectively reached the level of a discrete graphics card and almost 1.5x the bandwidth of the PS4 Pro (which is 203 GiB/s).

Console systems will come with 12 x32 [[GDDR]] chips for a total of 12 [[GiB]] while the development system will come with x16 chips for a total capacity of 24 GiB. Scorpio has 12 [[DRAM controllers]] for each of the 12 channels. It's worth noting that in order to maintain backwards compatibility with the Xbox One software, the [[CPU]] and [[GPU]] accesses the memory separately. The exact details of how the CPU accesses the memory has not been detailed. As with the previous generation, a bidirectional bus sits between the [[memory controllers]] and the CPUs and GPU. The bus maintains [[coherency]] between the CPU cores and the GPU. For the GPU, each of the 12 [[memory channel|channels]] is a 256-bit directional bus for a total bus width of 3,072-bit. The 12 channels allow the system to lower the granularity of memory accesses while the wide bus allows the system to take full advantage of the available bandwidth.

Scorpio Engine feature 40 or 44 Compute Units (CUs) for the consumer console and dev kit respectively based on {{amd|Arctic Islands|l=arch}} (Similar to Polaris, Radeon RX 4xx). This is triple the amount over the original Xbox One SoC. The Compute Units operate at 1,172 MHz, each with 64 32-bit [[floating point]] [[multiply-accumulate]] units. At 1.172 GHz with 128 FLOP/cycle this chip can deliver 6.00064 [[TFLOPS]] raw peak performance - over four times previous chips (which were 1.3 and 1.4 TFLOPS). The dev kit can deliver a reported 6.6 TFLOPS with its four additional CUs. The performance of texture processing has also been increased to 187.5 G bilinear [[texels]]/second. Additionally, in each of the four [[shader]] arrays, there is one geometry engine for the purpose of doing fixed geometry processing, this is twice previous chip which is capable of 4.688 Giga primitives/second.  

Similar to previous chips, Scorpio has 2 command processors (i.e., microcontrollers) that handle graphic and compute tasks however they are said to handle more parallel compute tasks than previous chip in order to increase performance. The number of ACEs (Asynchronous Compute Engine) on Scorpio has doubled to 4 in order to increase the [[parallelism]] possible. It's worth pointing out that since the Scorpio Engine is based on {{amd|Arctic Islands|l=arch}}, there are also two additional schedulers.

=== RBs and Memory Subsystem ===
The render back-end has also been enhanced. The render back-end consist of eight ''Render Boxes'' (RB) color/depth engines, each with 256 KiB graphics L2 cache for a total of 2 MiB. Each pair of Render Boxes is wired to one ''Memory Controller Cluster'' (MCC). Each MMC consists of two dedicated memory controllers and two more that are shared between two pairs of MCCs. In total there are four clusters with each having two dedicated controllers and two more pair (4 controllers) of channels shared between a pair of MCCs for a total of 12 channels.

=== Yield & redundancy ===
In normal microprocessors such as typical [[CPU]]s and [[GPU]]s, when a core in the case of a CPU or a shader unit in the case of a GPU has a defect, it's common for manufacturers to disable those affected cores/shaders (typically in a symmetrical way) and [[binning|sell those chips as lower end models]]. Since the Scorpio Engine is only found in the single-specification ''Xbox One X'' machine and its dev kit, [[binning]] is not as flexible. In an attempt to improve yield for the consumer models the Scorpio Engine actually incorporates 11 Compute Units (CUs) in each shader array for redundancy, 10 of them are operational while an 11th one is used as a spare. With 4 shader arrays, there are 4 spares and 40 enabled CUs. If one or a few compute units are faulty but the rest of the chip is fully functional, the spare CUs can be enabled to compensate for this. Fully unlocked Scorpio Engines are incorporated in the dev kits, though in lower volume than the consumer models.
