Microsoft finally unveiled their new hardware, and it is a bit impressive. Microsoft is calling it the worlds most powerful console, and it is. It also plays every game that previous Xbox One consoles play, including the backwards compatible Xbox 360 titles. They also say (Microsoft execs) that soon original Xbox games will soon be compatible. Just stick the disk in and play. this is great news for fans of the original console who still have their old games. And Microsoft says they will play better, but not sure what that means.
So here is the down and dirty details of what's under the cover:
• 8 custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3GHz
• 6 teraflops of graphics performance. By comparison, the PS4 Pro has 4.2 teraflops, the standard Xbox One has 1.31 teraflops, and the standard PlayStation 4 has 1.84 teraflops.
• 12 GB of GDDR5 RAM. By comparison, every other current Xbox and PlayStation console has 8 GB.
• A 1 TB hard drive for storing all your games. It appears this will not be upgradeable, however.
• Dolby Atmos audio, which'll lend richer sound to compatible games. The Xbox One S supports this too, though.
With these great looking specs, Microsoft claims the new console will look better, offer faster and more consistent frame rates and faster load times.
So if you have a TV that can handle the 4k graphics, and nearly $500-600 floating around, it might be worth it to buy the new console when it comes out.
Their is confirmed a few Xbox exclusive titles confirmed as well, and some timed exclusives. So anyways. You really should go and find some news from Microsofts E3 conference if you want more info. I'm tired. Thanks for reading.
