Xbox Series X Features: What We Know So Far
The new generation of consoles is almost here, but it still seems like these systems are a bit of a mystery. While Sony has been very tight-lipped with their specs, Microsoft has begun to talk openly about how their new console is going to function. With plenty of information about what's under the hood and how players will interact with the system, there are nevertheless a few mysteries left surrounding this brand-new gaming system.
The Specs
When it comes to a new piece of hardware like the Series X, knowing the hardware spec is quite essential. It's what will give players an idea of what the system will bring to the table when it finally releases and provide a point of fair comparison between the Series X and the Playstation 5. Microsoft has been relatively forthcoming about what is under the hood for the Series X, and the specs do suggest that the console will be quite powerful.
The Hardware
Microsoft is using a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor in the Series X, which is going to provide some unique benefits to developers. Though this is probably not the most exciting feature for the average player, it's proof that Microsoft is looking at its Xbox line as something very similar to its PC gaming business. The use of AMD's processor definitely shows the ease of transition between its games on PC and its games on the consoles, making cross-platform development look a little bit easier in the future.
What this also means is that the system is going to be blistering fast, with the architecture of the new processor allowing the system to operate at around 12 TFLOPs. This is about double the current power of the Xbox One X, making it a huge leap forward for Microsoft.
The Series X is also going to feature a Solid State Drive instead of a traditional hard drive, which is going to have huge implications both for the speed at which games load and how they are played. Microsoft notes that the addition of an SSD is going to cut down on loading time significantly, with open-world games potentially no longer having to hide loading behind loading screens or corridors.
Finally, there will also be a new Xbox Controller for Series X. As has tended to be Microsoft's design philosophy since the original controller, this one is going to be more of an upgrade than a radical departure. The new Series X controller is going to be virtually identical to the Xbox One controller, albeit with a new D-pad taken from the Elite line and a dedicated share button. This controller will work on not only the Series X but also Windows PCs and the Xbox One. Current Xbox One controllers will also be supported on the Series X.
The Buzzwords
It wouldn't be a new gaming system if it couldn't hit some of the more critical gaming buzzwords, and the enhanced power of this system does mean that it can do a few of the things that next-gen gamers have been waiting for.
One of the big jumps forward is that the system should be able to support games at up to 120fps. This is a giant leap forward from the Xbox One, which often seemed like it struggled to run games at 60FPS. Though it's not quite as much of a leap up from the One X, the fact that the console is looking to match frames per second with some of the higher-end gaming PCs on the market really shows how seriously Microsoft is taking the Series X's place in the gaming market.
The Series X is also expected to output games natively in 4K, but it may be significantly more powerful than even that. While going to 4K was a massive push for the One X, it looks like the Series X will be able to handle going to 8K without any real difficulty. While there certainly isn't a lot of chatter about anyone developing games at this resolution rate or any significant signs that consumer TVs are going to start shooting for 8K resolution in the future, this functions as a hint that Microsoft is looking to "future proof" its new console in a way that it didn't with its older systems.
On the aesthetics front, the Series X should also be able to pull off some reasonably substantial tricks. The system will support Variable Rate Refresh, which will match the refresh rate of the console to the television or monitor into which it has been plugged. The system will also support Variable Rate Shading, which helps with picture quality and rendering speed at the same time...
