Unlike the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series X we already know practically all the details except the most important, its price, and although its launch will take place during Christmas, Microsoft already has a website available and ready to pre-buy the console, although unfortunately in the box where the price should come out, for now, it is only indicated “coming soon”.
On the page dedicated to this end, they comment on what we already know, and that is that it is the most powerful Xbox console ever manufactured, of which they indicate the use of a custom processor with the AMD Zen2 microarchitecture and the use of the AMD RDNA2 graphic architecture, giving 12 TFLOPs performance promising ” true 4K “, 120 FPS, 8K content playback, and the use of a custom 1TB capacity SSD backed by proprietary Xbox Velocity Architecture for improving their performance.
They also highlight excellent cooling thanks to the design of the chassis and the way of designing the console (two motherboards to better control the temperature of the components), the use of a generous aluminum heatsink between the two motherboards, and steam to cool the heart of the console.
Finally, a brief review of your new controller, which must be recognized that they have stayed halfway thereby only making adjustments at the design level while Sony added new features, and the possibility of expanding storage externally through a Special SSD to ” not jeopardize ” the operation of the console and obviously not to affect its warranty.
Now all that remains is to wait for its price, and although Microsoft asks for 599 euros for its Xbox Series X, taking into account the expense that would entail forming a desktop computer with similar performance, it is a fairly affordable option, and interesting, since you have to mention the Xbox Game Pass service, so it is postulated as a great option for those who only think about playing.
