Project Scorpio News Confirmed For Thursday
Not much longer to wait.
New details about Microsoft's highly anticipated new console, Project Scorpio, will be announced later this week. As rumored, the information will come from at least one site, Eurogamer's Digital Foundry.
In a tweet today, the site said it has an "exclusive Xbox Scorpio reveal" coming on Thursday, April 6, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM UK. That's all we know for now.
Digital Foundry specializes in hardware and performance breakdowns, so it might be that their reveal has something to do with Scorpio's specs or power.
We already know that Scorpio boasts 6 teraflops of performance, including 320 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 CPU cores. Microsoft says it's the most powerful console ever made and that it will be clearly more powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro, which came out last year.
This week's Scorpio reveal likely won't tell the full story, as we would expect Microsoft to make its own announcements--about the price, release date, and other specifics--on its own at a later date. The console will surely be a part of Microsoft's E3 2017 briefing in June.
