Xbox Series X: Detailed specs, videos, and images on the new Microsoft console

By now Microsoft's strategy with Xbox Series Xmarketing, the powerful new console planned for(perhaps)the end of the year is clear: constantly releasing new information and content, so that you can always keep the interest of players and satisfy all the curiosities related to the new console. And just today come many new and appetizing information: let's summarize them all.

First came the full console specifications: we already knew the features and capabilities of Xbox Series X,but no information had been released about CPU and GPU speed, amount of memory, SSD size, expandability, and so on. From today all this changes, because Microsoft has finally released all the details: here they are!

  • CPU: Zen 2 Custom from 8 Core to 3.8 GHz
  • GPU: RDNA 2 Custom from 52 CUs (Computing Units) for 12 TFLOPS to 1,825 GHz
  • Chip size:360.45 mm2
  • Production process: 7nm Enhanced
  • Memory: 16 GB GDDR6 with 320mb bus
  • Memory band: 10GB at 560 GB/s, 6GB at 336GB/s
  • Mass Memory: 1TB Custom NVME SSD
  • SSD data speed: 2.4 GB/s (Puri), 4.8 GB/s (Compressed, with dedicated decompression hardware)
  • Mass Memory Expansion: 1TB dedicated SSD card
  • External memory: Support for external USB 3.2 disks
  • Optical disc: Blu-tay 4K UHD
  • Performance target:4K to 60 FPS, up to 120 FPS
  • Size:151x151x301 mm (LxPxA)

From these numbers emerges a console with incredible power, able to face without effort the performance requirements of the games of recent years; Very interesting also the revelation of a custom memory expansion board made in collaboration with Seagate, which can be inserted into the mysterious rear slot of the console and that will allow us to double the internal SSD memory. You chose this solution so you don't have to lose performance with the use of slower USB external disks, which still remain supported.

But there's a lot more: let's start with two movies that show us the incredible performance of the internal SSD in load times and multiple quick resumes,which allows us to switch between games while in memory of the game session, without the previous game being closed as it is today:

And if that wasn't enough, for lovers of industrial design and electronic engineering Microsoft also revealed the appearance of the console's internal components and the complex ventilation system, which includes two motherboards housed in a structure that distributes multiple airflows in order to efficiently cool all the components of the console.

You can see the console components, including the new mass memory expansion card, in the following images: if you want to see more, however, we invite you to view the video-in-depth published by Digital Foundry and their comparison with Xbox One X,where you'll see all this and more. We leave you now to the pictures, good vision!
