Xbox Series X full specifications have been revealed

Xbox Series X full specifications have been revealed today by Digital Foundry.

The next-gen console produces 12 teraflops of power and the 6 CPU cores are speedy at 3.6Ghz with hyper-threading enabled. When hyper-threading is off, the cores can operate at 3.8GHz.

12 TFLOPs was our goal from the very beginning. We wanted a minimum doubling of performance over Xbox One X to support our 4K60 and 120 targets. And we wanted that doubling to apply uniformly to all games.

~Andrew Goossen, Microsoft

To achieve this, we set a target of 2x the raw TFLOPs of performance knowing that architectural improvements would make the typical effective performance much higher than 2x. We set our goal as a doubling of raw TFLOPs of performance before architectural improvements were even considered – for a few reasons. Principally, it defined an audacious target for power consumption and so defined our whole system architecture.

Below, you'll find the Xbox Series X full specifications, in comparison to Xbox One X and Xbox One S.

The next-gen Xbox Series X console will head to stores this coming holiday season.

Some nice specs, though I feel it needs more than 1 TB and the limited extra storage isn't really pleasing.
