Xbox Series X: A Closer Look at the Technology Powering the Next Generation

Now just imagine a game with bearable times, it'll be instant. XSX bought SD2 loading down significantly.
As someone else mentioned earlier, this is very much a case of MS putting their man parts on the table.
I have no doubt in my mind that they are doing this because they know their console will win the "spec" war. So they are leaning into what they think it going to be a strength.
It's also abundantly clear that their open, transparent communication this time around is working. Minds are being changed every time the open their mouths.
They had all the work to do. But they are doing it and then some.

Yea a 1tb NVME is going to cost you. 2tb NVME? You better have big pockets.
That's because we've never had a platform standard that moved completely away from spinning media to a modern SSD.
If you could have every single PC have at a minimum the same SSD, we would see far better usage of that storage on the platform. Both the Series X and PS5 having a baseline SSD means games will be packaged and stored differently.
Thanks for clarifying.
I was expecting some sort of hybrid storage with a SSD + HDD. The OS could sort out where to place files based on what games you are more likely to boot, or even split files between storage types based on some priority set by developers.
Many game files are barely used most of you gameplay time, or are used once (for example, an 4K CGI intro). Yet they will be there occupying scarce SSD storage.
That's.... just not the case. I'm not interested into getting into a technical debate about this, but this is not the benefit MS is shooting for here. They're interested in ultra-fast loading of assets, not file compression.
Very impressive specs, even/especially at £600. Phil Spencer's done a good job turning things around and making Xbox an appealing gaming platform. Appealing enough to make me drop £600 and buy into the Xbox ecosystem? Afraid not, my PC is still meaty. But at least I can now spend my money on Xbox games on PC, so Phil's getting my money anyway, the crafty devil.
the ram setup is curious. same thing that Nvidia did with the 970. though devs shouldn't have the same problem since everyone knows upfront.
Gears 5 SSGI is ok, but I was hoping for more. hopefully we'll get more, maybe in a quality/performance toggle?
and I told yall pathtraced Minecraft was gonna be for consoles. though I'm surprised they only had one person on it so far

The written article states DF visited Microsoft the during the beginning of the month. A lot has changed since then. I very much doubt either console launches in 2020. But maybe that's just me
I'm getting a PS5 at launch mostly because I've recently invested a ton on PS4 digital games but that console is an absolutely absurd beast of a machine. Kudos to the people at Xbox who designed it.
Maybe the PC only people will stop laughing when we talk about 60fps for most games next gen :-)
I'll definitely get one later on in the gen.

Games are getting over 100gb now as a standard, 1TB is the absolute min.
In development. You'll see them when you see them. They didn't acquire all those studios over the past year just to do nothing with them.
They'll be taking a big loss at $499, but they may be willing to eat that loss considering all of the Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions they'll gain.
Very good. About on par with a current high-end gaming PC but with storage speed being beyond of what you can get in the market.
We're no longer on cheap notepad APU territory here.
They said Gears 5's patch isn't done, they only worked on it for 2 weeks.
Stock will be a wasteland most likely, fully expecting it to hit 2020 though but yeah... the stock won't reflect that for many people
The magical part is the software by the way of the Velocity architecture. People expecting them to put some kinda innovative, high end storage solution were always going to be disappointed. I think those days are long over for home consoles.
I should have edited that comment but yeah I watched the video and see how they can surpass current R/W
That's really going to suck consumer wise. I'd rather take longer load times and be able to use a massive external given how big games have become.
China is expecting to be in a good state by the end of the month. Stock probably won't be an issue, what we need to worry about is software delays.
Step up from those trash jaguar cores can not be understated. For me that's the biggest leap here
Releasing a $600+ console in the midst of the biggest recession this side of 2008 would be an interesting hurdle.
I might actually be able to PLAY Destiny 2 more than I watch it load! Lol
Lawdy lawd. All these juicy details. The quietness bit is fantastic.Now show us the next gen games MS!!!
It will launch with halo infinite 100% so that's all that's really going to matter for it realistically, your other basic 3rd parties as well but all they need first party wise is that game
I haven't seen the same information on china
