LOL, what? You say that as if that's factual. Maybe for you it is, I absolutely don't like it at all. Splatoon 2 has it too, right? Guess how I play that game. Gyro disabled.

It really is though, once you get used to it. You can already do some fantastic things with the DS4 gyro which blows just dual stick alone out of the water.
It's not two separate pools. It's different sized memory modules. Thus only 10GB can be accessed in parallel across 10 chips. The remaining 6GB is spread across 6 chips, meaning less parallel bandwidth.
Unless I'm mistaken, you can still use HDDs to store games. But next gen games will need to be played from the SSD, so I'm not worried about running out of space.
With 4k being the big thing, I think games sizes will trend a bit bigger, but things like smart delivery will help with that also.
Microsoft has not had a single mishap so far in their reveal. It's been pretty much perfection.
I think there Richard is referencing that it could not be made another way to fit into the "price" they are angling for while achieving performance.
Which price? IDK!
If my entire gaming life wasn't invested on PlayStation, and I was getting into gaming now, I'd buy an Xbox without thinking.
Microsoft is delivering on hardware, ecosystem and services, and they deserve all the praise for their work. I'm amazed!

No, it is not. The alternative was to have the internal disk be user-replaceable, and use a standard m.2 NVMe connector. There is no reason why this wouldn't work. Even PCIe3 SSDs can be faster than the drive in the XSX, and it's likely PCIe4. Allowing user replaceable SSDs would have allowed users to improve performance and storage space cheaply down the line.
THIS, this box is made for people who give a shit about video games and all the small details that most companies would over look.
It also would have allowed users to put in driver's that don't meet the minimum specs and potentially complicate and lower baseline targets for developers
Gyro objectively allows for more user precision and control. Even if you don't like it those are the facts. Not having the option is a mistake that will probably cost MS when 3rd party games can count on Nintendo, Sony, and PC having the feature.
Even if you don't like gyro for shooters, it's ace for any sort of quick selection or menu navigation, or really anything that best served by a mouse. Halo forge with a gyro would immediately be better than the current controller interface, for example.
This is interesting because there's two questions. Are 2GB chips really that much more expensive? Conversely, 256-bit chips at higher speeds must also be too expensive?
They really do, when the original xbox one was announced I had zero interest in the thing and didn't expect to buy an xbox system at all this gen, but they got me with the One S because of the UHD Blu-ray compatibility and then upgraded to a One X because of my growing library of games + game pass.
Im very excited about the next gen machine, but so far MS have only talked about hardware and services and haven't really talked about the games or shown many exclusives. Thats the one area that Sony still has a major advantage as well as far better japanese support.
Let's go!!!!! COVID-19 may have got us on lockdown but the hype train is still moving.
Excited to see what this generation brings.

Yes you can, a Teraflop is a Teraflop regardless of the architecture. Now if you want to compare architecture efficiency at getting closer to the theoretical power of the GPU then we can also discuss that.
Previous AMD GCN architectures were not as efficient at gaming workload as Nvidia but that has changed since RDNA 1 which is Navi. Accounting for identical cores and clock, they perform similar to one another.
I really don't get the die size, is this a custom CPU component with much smaller internal cache? What's the deal? It's a fraction of the 2080Ti die size, and despite that being a larger node process, that's a GPU alone!
16GB RAM is definitely less than I expected, as I upgraded to 32GB system ram in prep... this will unfortunately hold back games for many years, but PCs will be able to have faster load times as a result...

Ah hem....so it is more powerful than a RTX 2070....more than a 2080. Straight from the horses mouth....
This should put that argument to rest.
XSX > 2070 and => 2080 in performance.

great, i'm the worst with overclock stuff :-(
now i just needs a cpu that go at 5ghz just by normal turbo-boost for the future...
Man with the confidence and transparency they're showing, you just know they're confident in the games they have lined up....
...and THAT is exciting as hell.
Can't wait.

Only if you take literally no precautions. A simple speedtest would probably do the trick, and if you want to be really draconian, you could do certification and use a whitelist.
Now that the Series X has been laid bare, we should be getting Lockhart news soon, yeah?
I'm def. buying the Series X tho, this thing is going to be so awesome!

Microsoft & AMD Supercharge Console Gaming with the Xbox Series X
I am excited to share some of the details that Microsoft announced today on Xbox® Series X, and how it is built upon the partnership with the team at AMD. Together, we have relentlessly pushed the innovation boundaries of gaming devices for the last 15 years. Today, AMD and Microsoft are...
Well it's how Rich described it. Although he said six 2GB chips and four 1GB chips.
It's what I figured. I understand they're trying to squeeze as much profitability out of this thing but does having this weird setup with a few 1GB chips really make that much of a difference versus all of them being 2GB and the same speed? Or maybe it's a production issue I suppose.
This but as he would say himself: A lot of it comes from the team. The best way to put it imo is that Phil Spencer is the best enabler they could get for a talented team.
So are we getting Lockhart news later this week? I find it interesting that the elephant in the room was not addressed at all in any of the DF videos, which leads me to believe there is a "not yet" alongside this...
Either way, pumped for the new Xbox. What a fantastic machine.

Damn....did not expect any new info this early or on a random Monday. That CPU speed is crazy. Those wondering how they hit 60fps. it is right there with that CPU at that clock speed. We were getting Native (some) Xbox One X games with 60fps with lots of compromises, but this system with those specs and much more that CPU will deliver 4k native at 60fps in many games. Sure there will be devs that will want to go graphics crazy and lock to 30fps, but we will finally see much more 4k/60fps games finally on console!
Yeah, I am taking slight issue with his wording. Separate pools usually refers to different physical address spaces (that may or may not be unified with virtual addressing). This is a single, contiguous address space and bus.
