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

This is fantastic news, and it also puts Lockhart into perspective a bit more in that it'd be very easy to see the standard be that Lockhart is a 1080p console and Anaconda is a 4k console. If it's true that they'll have similar CPUs, this bodes very well for next-gen and there shouldn't be any situations where developers are holding things back for Lockhart.
In Canada right now during holiday sales, you can get an Xbox One SAD for under $300 (seeing $270 on Amazon.ca, so $310.50 after tax in Quebec). An Xbox One X starts at $500 CAD ($575 after tax in Quebec).
Assuming that general sort of price difference is present, for a lot of people Lockheart may be the only "affordable" SKU. I imagine myself getting that one to replace my Xbox One, especially since I see myself getting a PS5. There's no way I'll be able to get the premium version of both.
I hope theyre the same so we can have fanboys stop fighting over this crap.

Competing solely on services & games, not power, would be a nice change of pace, especially with cross-play becoming more prevalent.
I think people are calling it low because the jump in RAM from seventh gen consoles to eighth gen consoles is massive. I think some were expecting like 32GB RAM for next gen lol
You realize rDNA tflops compare pretty similar to Turing tflops right? Vega (and previous AMD architectures) were not as efficient, but the latest architecture is much more comparable. You can just look at benchmarks on PC and see this.
If LH has 8 cores @3.5Ghz, and 16GB, then it's much easier to deal with a 4TF GPU imo, but I expect it to be $350. If it's $400 and $500 it's just a dumb move when they could make the $500 model $400 within a year, like they almost always do
This is my thought as well. I'd be totally down for that.
So they can blast the phrase "Starting at $299" on all their marketing. This is old school thinking though. I don't think people are that dumb anymore and the deception will be acutely pointed out ad nauseum on social media. There will absolutely be games that won't run locally on Lockhart. They're scared Sony will beat them on price on the powerful box, and they should be.
Interesting take on there. Seems to suggest overall power is going to be spun on eithers' RT versus RT implementation.
If you think this thing will outperform a RTX 2080 with an 8 core CPU and an SSD and be less than $1000 than you are probably living in the clouds.
Target specs, so things can change (for better or worse?)
Also, compared to the competition, how's it stack up against that?

Yeah no way.
PS5 should be about the same as Anaconda and I think they'll come in at $399. If so, and if LH is $399 as well, it will be DOA
I have yet to read the new article, or any more posts here but 3 systems was actually the old plan.
Anaconda, Lockhart and a cheap streaming device that uses xCloud.
Now I need to read the article and see if that is the case still.
Could this mean PS5 is positioned nicely in the middle between Anaconda and Lockhart with regards to price/performance?
I think Microsoft needs to be wary of this if true....

To provide a 1080p next-gen console at a more attractive entry point. Lockhart would be a more popular console than Anaconda.
Aren't the rumors saying 499$? I don't see how those specs are only gonna cost that it just doesn't make sense, even at the discount that Microsoft is probably getting everything at. They have to be taking a pretty big hit at that price or these leaks are full of shit one or the other.
Always maintained that the should strike first. Sony would be seen as if in a reactionary mode, no doubt. Plus, with specs like those...Pheww...
It was obvious next gen would be above stadia. Google were picking on 6 year old consoles like they was really doing something😂
Because the xbox one x uses a different type of architecture as the ps5/Scarlett the numbers for teraflops aren't directly comparable. The current gen uses whats called GCN while nect gen is RDNA. Using what we already know GCN to RDNA roughly calculates to 1.2 to 1.4 gcn for every 1 RDNA so the xbox one x gpu is about equivalent with lockhart whereas the ps4 pro is weaker. That plus the cpu which is even bigger of a jump makes the lockhart stronger by a wide margin to the X
There is a very, very tiny chance that the PS5 top sku launches at $399. Like, close to 0%.
Well, well MS may want to get the word out before Sony this time.
Honestly my guess is:
Lockhart - $399
PS5 - $499
Anaconda - $599

Weren't you one of the fake "insiders" from the old place? We would all really appreciate if you stopped peddling bullshit all the time.
All you have to do is look at current 5700XT reviews (which is 9.75 tflops), increase the performance by 20%, and that's what a 12 tflop Anaconda GPU would be at. A high end PC will have a faster CPU though.
