The race for the next generation of consoles is heating up and since the launch is at the end of the year, we’re being treated with a fresh news almost everyday. While Sony has kept things quiet, Microsoft is going all out and revealing specs and other information of their most ambitious project yet.
Microsoft, revealed the entire spec list of the upcoming Xbox Series X, with a promise that it will set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility. This has been Microsoft’s core idea going ahead.
It has been months since we last saw designs of the upcoming Xbox Series X consoles and we got the dimensions of the console, which looks more like a tiny CPU.
According to Phil Spencer, the new Xbox will have four times the processing power of an Xbox One and with 12 teraflops of GPU performance, the Xbox will be able to deliver up to twice the performance of the Xbox One X and almost eight times that of the original Xbox One.
All this seems overwhelming, but the next generation of console will not only take gaming forward, a lot of focus has been paid to games of previous generation and the fact that games of older generations of console will not only be playable but they will give out better performance as well.
