The Xbox One X uses a 6 Teraflop GPU clocked at 1.172 Ghz, with 12 GB of GDDR5 memory and 326GB/s of memory bandwidth. Using that powerhouse of a GPU, Microsoft’s team was able to create a console that renders in “True 4K,” with over 8+ million rendered pixels, HDR, and 4K UHD Blu-Ray playback. If you, like most gamers, haven’t upgraded to a new 4K television yet, Microsoft has made sure that the performance increase in terms of frame rate and graphical fidelity will be noticed regardless.

For players worried about picking up a new console with either no games or no accessories, Microsoft has assuaged fears by confirming that all Xbox One games, and Xbox One accessories will be compatible with the new Xbox One X.

The Xbox One X will be launching on November 7th, 2017, for $499 USD.

It’s pretty strange to have specs for a console so far out and still be this impressive. Microsoft didn’t reveal much else about the console beyond its guts. Things like final design, price, or a specific release date will probable wait until this E3. Digital Foundary’s article does speculate that, given the hardware inside, it’ll cost $499 at launch. That’s not too bad for something this powerful.

Honestly, a lot of this is…complicated. Unless you’re already into hardware and silicon, it might be a bit confusing. The bottom line is that Scorpio is powerful, fast, and will make your games look pretty. The claim that 4K and 60FPS can be achieved without optimization is incredible. This is all very impressive, and has me eyeing my 1080p TV with disdain, assuming Xbox will actually have a games lineup to utilize these specs.
