Xbox One X is Microsoft's smallest and most powerful video game console ever

By Brian Fagioli

After a long time of hearing the code name "Project Scorpio" for Microsoft's next console, we finally have an official product name – Xbox One X. The 4K/60-focused gaming system launches on November 7, just in time for the 2017 holiday shopping season. Parents will appreciate the backwards compatibility – it can run all Xbox One games and works with all existing accessories too. In other words, you don't need to start the library anew.

The Xbox One X has an AMD-designed octa-core CPU clocked at 2.3GHz, a 6-teraflop Radeon GPU, and 12GB of GDDR5 memory with an impressive 326GB/sec memory bandwidth. For storage, it will come with a 1TB hard drive – no more 500GB. It once again features a 4K Blu-ray drive too. This new console easily beats the PlayStation 4 Pro, which should give Sony some concern. While the PS4 has many great exclusives, so too will the Xbox One/S/X – Microsoft announces 22 such games being shown at E3.

"The world’s most powerful console begins rolling out to all Xbox One markets starting on Nov. 7. With 40 percent more power than any other console, experience immersive true 4K gaming when paired with a 4K display, such as Samsung’s flagship QLED TV. Xbox One X makes your existing library even better, with better textures, smoother frame rates and faster load times, even on a 1080p TV. Xbox One X also offers the ultimate 4K entertainment package with 4K Ultra HD for Blu-ray X and streamed content, HDR support for gaming and video, and Dolby Atmos support," says Microsoft.

Shockingly, despite being the most powerful Xbox console ever, it is also the smallest. Microsoft is highlighting the use of water-cooling and a new power management system to keep temperatures down. So don't worry, your game console won't overheat due to a small chassis. It even retains the built-in power supply.

Speaking of backwards compatibility, it will play all Xbox One games. It will also be compatible with some Xbox 360 games through the existing compatibility program. Today, the company announces that it will take things a step further – it is delivering some original Xbox games too. There will even be some free (and paid) 4K upgrades for existing Xbox One games.

Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox explains, "Xbox empowers game developers large and small to create different types of games for every type of player. Not only do we have the biggest cross-platform blockbusters on our platform, we've also scoured the world to bring our fans unique content from creative artists that capture the imagination."

How much will Xbox One X cost? A rather high $499 in the USA. Outside of America, the company lists the cost of "449 pounds, 499 euros, CA$599 and AU$649." For all you are getting hardware wise, I suppose it is reasonable, but it will be a hard sale to parents during the holidays – especially when their kids already own an Xbox One or One S.

Every time I see this fat fuck I think

FUCK FAGIOLI IS HIS REAL NAME

Thanks Holla Forums

He never stood a chance

...

Fagioli means beans in Italian.

Mr Fagioli is one of the most talented and sophisticated technological commentators of our time.
Please respect his opinions.

Good job Holla Forums

I am apologize.

RAVILOI RAVIOLI
AT LEAST MY NAME'S
NOT FAGIOLI

So what you're saying is that he's a real human bean.

This is technically correct, as long as Microsoft never releases another console, ever.

that gif you posted is from futa porn so yes you're name IS Fagioli

thanks for calling

...

I don't understand. is the XBOXone X (ugg stupid name) actually going to have full true 4K? i watched a whole youtube video of someone saying that it's going to be like the PS4 pro and just do upscaling for 90% of everything

Yes and no. On lower-end and indie games, yeah. On big budget graphically demanding games? No, it'll use checkerboard rendering like the PS4Pro.

The Anthem gameplay Bioware showed off at the Microsoft event was using checkerboard rendering, and nobody in the audience could tell that it wasn't native 4k. A lot of Xbox fanboy heads are exploding over that.

"True 4k" is a marketing meme. Always has been.

Kek, timed exclusives don't count

And here I thought OP was just mocking his name

I wish Sony and Microsoft would focus more on 60fps than 4k. 4k does look better, but the difference between 30 and 60 fps is a lot more significant the the difference between 1080p and 4k. The XxxboxOneXxx isn't going to be able to run any demanding game at 60 fps and true 4k with its hardware.

What porn?

60fps is the harder one to do not every genre requires 60fps. but it should be the minimum for goodness sake compared to upping the textures a bit.

What I was trying to get at is that Sony and Microsoft are just lazy shits, so they went for the thing that impresses retards.

Mostly checkerboard like PS4P.
At 60fps this wouldn't be bad, just a new way to do interlaced field rendering like in the good old PS2 days. Problem is, they're doing it at 30fps - or lower.

This is it guys. They are done!

Still no games.

Isn't that from some Monogatari animu? At least the color animation and background looks like it, though I don't recognize that scene.

holy fuck

I don't understand. is actually going to have full true 4K?
lol no are you high nigga

Give me something with big tits.

Do people actually take this seriously? The whole thing just screams as an obvious prepaid advertisement.

Source?


Rollin'

fagioli fagioli give me the loli

giant dids with white skin

Rolling without even looking at the chart

Retard.

found the real fagioli

Wasn't aware Microsoft produced the PSone

Quality meme for quality comment. Ubvoted and subbed!

4k is a way for console manufacturers and developers to excuse poor graphics. Instead of pushing for as much graphical capability that can be packed into a box, they push for a resolution that's not needed right now and drains resources that could go to better environmental detail and more.

But we're deep in diminishing returns territory now. If some madman actually focused on details dropping res to compensate, you'd be bitching and moaning how modern devs don't do optimization anymore. Going beyond 1080p is the last easy win. Even if Moores Law wasn't dead which it very much is there just isn't anything you could pump power into and it'd actually look proportionally better. Say goodbye to true nextgen feelz, you will never feel them again. Even going directly from PS360 to one of the midgen refreshes or a SLI monstrosity barely qualifies.
Welcome to the [CURRENT GEN]. It will feel [CURRENT] for a small eternity.

Ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars later, and it still cant do 1080p at 60fps.

Oh but thats right. Its not a gaming console, its a shitty pc without a tv screen, optimized for spyware and data gathering, not video games. I still reminisce about the first Xbox. The Brick. They grabbed off the shelf components, wrote some specialized software and bam done. Watch movies on it? Plug a little nub in into a controller port easy peasy.

The whole thing was perfect.


From that day foward, I expected every console after it to do things like all games able to play music you burned to the memory. After the 360, I expecting live streaming as a standard feature, as well as recording.

I expected specialized hardware, specialized software, all developed in house, capable of rivaling nvidia, at 60fps easily.


They made this pile of shit intentionally terrible.

I honestly believe with some software emulation, a fucking laptop could be built that performed better and was cheaper….noooooo….

A fucking All in One Screen PC. Yeah. At this fucking rate, it should come with its own fucking screen.

Also, he looks like a tiny dicked cuckservative

Rolling for companion cube.

The 4k tvs also cause gamelag due to being high end enough to require lag making software.

bump

I have yet to see a single faggot explain what the fuck is a teraflop and how does having more than the other console shitbrick amounts to fuckall

You haven't seen an explanation because nobody else needed one.

I think you're just retarded.

It's from one of the *monogatari series. It's when Crab and Cat are showering together

Yeah I think I'm retarded too now

Fuck it, rolling.

Is this guy special?

roooooooooooooooll

Do you even have a PC? How do you not know what a teraflop is?

Yeah well it means bottom butt baby in American.

Asking for a friend.

Awwwww yis.

Is that mark? It looks like mark. That is a real kind of pasta by the way.

Yeah no famalam, you're retarded.
Its a unit used to measure computing power of GPUs
… Yeah, I got nothing, guilty as charged.

FAGIOLI FAGIOLI GIVE ME THE BOTNETIOLI

Letsa go!

Who even bothers to read modern web articles anymore? It's like the new newspaper.

is that JIm Sterling?

roll

Roll.

Goddamnit.

Xturd S is a joke. Kikecro$oft can suck a phat one.

Why would anyone want the xbone x? If there are no games for it? What the fuck kind of logic is that? Making a new improved console for no games?

...

Give me something with no tits.

Yeeeee

rollan

rollan

rolling

Fat

...

fuck off

rude

>some Xbox games
Hey, neat, it lost its one selling point. Partial backwards-compatibility already was one of the sticking points of the goddamned thing.

i play TF2 sometimes too

meh, might as well roll before i sleep.
