Xbox Series X: Official Specs, Target Performance, And More Revealed

Looks like Microsoft took the gold medal on hardware in this round. It'll be interesting if they can win back the developers, especially the smaller ones that made the 360 so popular.

Y'all might want a PC by the time prices are announced for these consoles. The more you pay for a console, the less it makes sense to not get a PC (PC is meant to be a higher initial investment but becomes cheaper over time). Fortunately for all of us, the stronger these consoles are, the more developers will focus on pushing graphics and other intensive features into all their games (regardless of platform). Meaning far more ray tracing games, more games with higher multithread support, etc.

Took 3 generations for consoles to become more powerful than a PC i put together ages ago. Not too impressive.

Seems pretty pointless these days to get a console, for a bit more you can just get a PC that destroys it and then you are set for another 2+ generations.

I can't believe they only give you a 1tb ssd also, that is a total joke of hardware for 2020, how many AAA games can you even install on that? Like 5-6?

Nice. Now to wait 2 or so years for a large price drop.

My biggest problem with Xbox series X is how it's insides are meshed together, on papper it's something a hobbiest would build, 2 slabs of PCB screwed to a rack, then a unnecessary drive bay, huge fan, and crazy ass heat sink, geez.

The developers kit Xbox series X is in the form factor of the Xbox one X, yet the series X consumer addition is the equivalent to two GameCubes slapped on top of each other.

The specs are lovely, the design factors something else to be desired as a pc, couldn't imagine a console (I guess my gripe started when I noticed the inside of the console/pc hybrid) abomination. Now for Sony abomination, probably a 3 wheel trycicle.

Getting that sex box through the airport in a bags now officially a real pain the ass compared to the one x.

Oh well best get use to it, but love the specs.

With the power of this machine it would able to run the Oculus Rift S/Valve index etc.

They should have put a display port connection on the front to allow use with VR.

That would have sold many more units.

$799, us, international $1099 no joke. Serious hardware like that capable of running 3d max, blender, daw, substance painter, photo shop, comes with a costly tag, and those specs clearly are designed for more then gaming infact it's cable of all.

The only thing it cannot do is render 8k assets smoothly, and play 8k with raytracing enabled at 8k at 120 frames. There will be trade offs the the specs clearly are designed for apples playbook (when they released their g4 and box like shredder) actually looks like play card from apples playbook.

So budget to mid-level PC specs. Have fun with that you console peasants

There's no way this console won't cost a pair of arms at launch.

I'm feeling this will be a repeat of the PS3's launch price. If it costs anywhere below $499 I'll be very, extremely surprised and they'd be selling them at a loss.

That's more TFLOPs than RTX 2080, and almost as much as 2080Ti. How much is this going to cost?

These specs are looking very expensive.

sadly storage size is a joke and i knew we get screwed with it.... no confirm info on if we can use a external or not for next gen games.

It's so goofy how consoles measure gfx-cards in flops instead of bytes.

Either way though, these specs are pretty good, but I hope they get some great contracts, this thing isn't going to be no mere $400

Damn, this is good.
