Rumour: WindowsCentral - Inside the target specs of the next Xbox 'Project Scarlett,' 'Anaconda', and 'Lockhart'

Yeah this stood out to me. If the works flawlessly, this is one of the truly next gen features next to fast SSD becoming standard. I'm glad we're still potentially making huge jumps. For me the the PS3 to PS4 jump in speed of navigating menus and all the sharing features was an absolutely massive jump.

In easy terms. 4TF GPU of now like the Pro or X isnt the same as 4TF or 6TF for the next gen consoles. Next to it, The biggest gains are gonna be made on the CPU and HDD side. And they are really big.
12 TF is pretty nuts. I hope this isn't going to be an Xbox 360 situation where they just pack too damn much into the box for it to handle without overheating. I do think it's a mistake to have the Lockhart be less powerful than the XB1X. I get they are probably doing that so they can have a low-cost entry model to help early sales, but I don't think word of mouth will be too kind to it on that front.
I'm a playstation fanboy, and lock in for PS5 day one.
But that is fucking genius, and a serious USP if sony doesn't do similar
This seems like a terrible idea. Either it has to throttle your download hard or your streaming game is going to lag like hell.
Project Scarlett is the Generation Code Name with Anaconda and Lockhart being the 2 consoles under the umbrella.
Edit: Should've refreshed my page before replying lol yall get it now
No? They marketed Xbox One X on 4K but devs still were allowed to be all sorts of creative. Some games had options for the player to choose the display or performance mode, some just straight up chose their own route.
Pretty much the same, if that 12.9 TF rumor for PS5 is true. We actually don't know what type of memory th PS5 will use tho.
As someone who hasn't kept up with the rumor mill and leaks at all so far, can someone catch me up?
Microsoft is planning to release 3 home consoles in 2020? Scarlett seems to be the middle range? And then a higher end and a lower end console?
That seems so... unnecessary...

This is the exact same as the Jeux Video leak from February.
Teraflops is a rough estimate of power. It doesn't tell the whole story.
Agreed. I'd have expected something like 24GB or 32GB.
Yeah my concern with this cheaper model(though concern is a strong word) is that while it might make sense early on I don't see it attracting that many early adopter types as there may not be launchgames like a GTA to really move units. So by the time say two years in where the more mass console buying audience it's limitations may really show. Then again maybe Microsoft is banking on a recession in the next 18 months which isn't the worst bet.
I was passed this a while back from a trusted source. The info didn't match up with what I had at that time so I didn't post it.
12tflops is perfect, a huge upgrade for this gen. If PS5 is pretty much the same then I'll be more than happy. This also vindicates me holding off on buying a new PC GPU until Ampere is out, only the 2080 Ti seems to be faster than the consoles.

Scarlett is the name for next gen project. Anaconda and Lockhart are the consoles
How could an anaconda game that targets 1080p with 12TF run on a 4TF system that also targets 1080p
$499 is the price mentioned for the anaconda, so as everyone expected.
I would assume 1080p resolution until download is far enough to switch over to it. Either way never again having to wait to download a game sounds incredible!
Pretty sure Scarlett is the name of the whole next gen console project. Anaconda and Lochkardt are the two Scarlett variants, like the X and S are versions of the Xbox one.
Scarlett = Anaconda/Lockhart
Scarlett is the next gen project
Anaconda = 4K part (Xbox Two X)
Lockhart = 1080p part (Xbox Two S)
No. There are two consoles, Anaconda and Lockhart. Scarlett is the name for their next gen umbrella/ecosystem itself.
Most games on Anaconda will be third party games. Most games on Anaconda will look pretty much the same on PS5.
It's probably optional dude for those who are okay with waiting for it in the background. You make it sound so harsh like they force you to start playing.
Is it Scarlett, Lockhart or Anaconda? How many systems are they releasing?
RAM's purpose is quick access to information for the CPU. The Scarlett consoles (and the PS5) will have specialized SSDs that make access to the information stored on them very quick. That makes the RAM less important. The SSDs will be fast enough to be used for some things that needed RAM this generation.
