Why is Smart Delivery and Backwards Compatibility separate in the article? Also noticed they used the word "if" for Smart Delivery.

Yes they will, but it's forward thinking. In 4-5 years a 1TB drive will seem anemic, but 2TB cards will probably be $100 or so.
100 dollars cheaper would def play a role. And while their ecosystem is not as robust as Xbox, their games speak volumes. I still think this wont be a factor once they finally reveal their PS5 games.
they can't guarantee games outside of their own being accessible via smart delivery
also technically if lockhart exists... it'd be part of smart delivery too as the texture assets would be different
In a PC games have two pools of memory to work with, larger, slower system memory and smaller faster graphics memory, typically on the GPU. Since this a System on Chip (SOC), MS is mimicking this setup with a faster pool of memory for graphics and a slower pool for OS, audio, AI, etc.
Fuck. I'm one of the few that's fortunate enough to have a PC that can beat this spec-wise, and even I still kinda want one. It definitely helps that Console Game Pass has a much better variety of games (and more recent games) than PC Game Pass, and I'm all paid for Game Pass Ultimate through mid-2022
He mentions "HDR reconstruction" for games that never implemented HDR (he uses Halo 5 and Fuzion Frenzy as examples). How, exactly, would that work? Also, I'm guessing the XSX implementation would work better than my Samsung TV's HDR+ mode?
XSX games will be built with the expectation that they'll have access to the speed SSDs provide. If you could run these games on an HDD external, which is much slower, the games couldn't possibly run properly.
BC is just straight Xbox One (Xbox 360/OG Xbox BC) code.
Smart Delivery means there is a Series X specific download for a game.
Smart delivery is how Microsoft provides these games to the consumer. So instead of there being Xbox One, One X, PC, and Series X versions of Halo Infinite in the Xbox store, there's only one version which is connected to all the different platforms. This is basically the same thing as their play anywhere program but across generations.
Well I'm sure the proprietary storage expansion is going to be expensive as balls.
Damn that series x is a beast next gen going to be amazing forza horizon 5 is going to be mindblowing
Has anyone determine the GPU layout from the die shot Colbert posted in the other thread?
Is it 2 Shader engines * 14 Workgroups * 2 CUs = 56 CUs (52 Active)?
-OR-
Is it 4 Shader engines * 7 Workgroups * 2 CUs = 56 CUs (52 Active)?

sorry for the slightly off topic question, but even a 2070super overclock himself without me using afterburner or any overclocking app? or it's just the 2080ti that do that with noticeable gains?
thanks.
EvilBoris explained in another thread:
Sure, but the only alternative is to set the entire generation back by not taking advantage of new storage technology.
Allowing massive external HDDs for storage while having an internal and an external SSD for gameplay sounds like a fine solution. When your SSD(s) are full, move the games that you won't be playing soon to the HDD to make room.
You don't have to have the console in an instant on mode to maintain suspended titles.
This forum sometimes, smh. Gyro IS better than dual stick aiming wether you consider it a gimmick or not. Series X controller already off to a bad start.
Tiered storage is the way to go. However, it would be great if this could be automated by the OS. For example, if you just downloaded a game, you're most likely to start playing it right away so it downloads to the SSD while games you haven't played in a while gets copied to the USB device. I'd hate to have to manually do this. If I want to play an older game, I can see the first time I play it being slow, but while I'm playing the system is swapping it to the NVME so it gets progressively faster until everything's moved over.
Damn, that's pretty awesome! I wonder if it can be turned off, though, I mean if purists (for example) want to play a game as close to the original presentation as possible.
yeah, the boost clocks can go high without any of that, it depends on your model too obviously. one of the 2080 ti's comes at 1.9ghz for example.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. But man, I shudder to think about how fast the internal will be full. Games nowadays are already huge, how much bigger will they get for next gen I wonder?
