The Series X also features a speedy 1TB NVMe SSD, which is light years faster than the slow mechanical drives in the previous Xbox consoles. The remaining 6GB, meanwhile, runs slower than Sony's console. While they both offer 16GB of fast GDDR6 RAM, Microsoft offers faster bandwidth than the PS5 for 10GB of that memory.
The difference is that Microsoft's console has a larger GPU to eke out a couple more TFLOPs of performance. That's impressive, but remember it's pretty much the same hardware that's inside of the PS5. The Xbox Series X is powered by a custom 8-core Zen 2 CPU running up to 3.8GHz and a powerful new 12-teraflop RDNA 2 GPU. Looks only get you so far it's what's on the inside that counts, as Engadget's Devindra Hardawar notes: I've even wondered if the two collaborated on the project or if Silverstone licensed the design to Microsoft. Personally, I feel the Xbox Series X borrows heavily from the design of Silverstone's FT03 micro ATX chassis. Pressing that button causes the system to emit the same three-note beep as pressing the circular X-logo button on the Xbox One. It's a box with a modest, circular X-logo button in the top left or top right corner, depending on whether you place it horizontally or vertically. It's a cuboid: 12 inches tall, six inches deep, and six inches wide, all right angles and fine matte black plastic. The Xbox Series X is the most boxlike Xbox that Microsoft has ever produced. Kotaku's Mike Fahey gives another perspective on the machine's aesthetic: (Image courtesy Henry Hargreaves, Polygon) It's a black box you stick under your TV and forget about, as long as you're able to fit it under your TV. I'm not in love with the design, but I'm also not bothered by it.
When placed horizontally, it's fair to say that the Xbox Series X looks like it fell over with the base permanently attached. The base of the Xbox Series X isn't removable, and (unlike the PS5) the console is not designed to be opened up. It looks like a compact PC but with an unassuming design that looks far better standing vertically than it does laying horizontally (just like most PCs). Microsoft has squeezed all of the components of the Xbox Series X into a boxy, rectangular, tower-like case. Tom Warren with The Verge shares his thoughts on the console's ho-hum design: We'll start with the more capable (and expensive) Xbox Series X. Each offers a unique aesthetic and blend of hardware targeting price points of $499 and $299 for the Xbox Series X and Series S, respectively.įor a deeper dive on exactly what to expect from Microsoft's vision of next-gen console gaming, we turn to the first wave of reviews hitting the web today. The Xbox Series X and Series S arrive on November 10, 2020, as one of two major console launches this holiday season. Highly anticipated: After months of teasing and talk, Microsoft's next-gen Xbox family is nearly ready for prime time.
