Xbox One already supports KB+M natively, its up to developers to support it within their games. I'd be surprised if Xbox Series X didn't continue that support.

Xbox Series X: What You Can Expect From the Next Generation of Gaming (12TF, RDNA2 & Zen 2, Hardware Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading) OFFICIAL SPECS

Isn't the XBX already at 12GB? I'm sure we are getting more than that.
Didn't the back compat team announce last year that they had stopped doing X1 back compat in favour of concentrating on Scarlet?
Oh yeah, this will be mine come launch day. Money is all set aside and now I just needed a date.
Its still bullshit2 years ago maybe
But last January we had this
And I remember it being laughed out of the room, it might be the earliest leak of valuable information I can remember. Crazy if it ends up being true
nobody has that much information and can leak like that without getting fired.
Nah it would have been 15 teraflops gcn if it was RDNA. - RDNA 2 means it's probably higher.
In terms of gaming performance, FP64 isn't really relevant.
Right. The question is just where exactly it lands. We'll be able to use some napkin maths to get a pretty good idea of that when AMD finally releases its first RDNA2-based desktop GPU(s).
Edit: As Marmelade says below, the RDNA1-based 5700 XT makes for decent point of comparison. Theoretically, the XSX GPU should land somewhere between the 2080 and 2080 Ti. To reiterate, though, it's hard to be sure without an actual RDNA2-based GPU on the market.

I started playing Gears 5 on my OG Xbox One and finished it on an Xbox One X. It was a huge difference. The jump to Xbox Series X is gonna be even more impressive. I really wouldn't want to experience Halo Infinite on my old Xbox One, but it's awesome that people who aren't willing/can't afford to upgrade can still enjoy the game.
So stoked for next-gen!
Dude don't scare off the few insiders who still post here...
They surely have their own driver written for this thing and its several times less complex than universal thing that AMD has to provide for desktop.
I'm actually thinking this launch could be cheaper (total dollars) in comparison with previous generations for me.
If you can carry forward your accessories, no need to get extra controller or other random shit. I usually get two games at launch, and If Game Pass includes MS first party, then no need to buy Halo or Forza on Day 1... saves $120.

Stats look good, I'll most likely pick one up day one. Open up the pre-orders and let this happen.
"Smart delivery" just sounds like a fancy "pro patch", guys. You're going to get a resolution bump, better textures, draw distances, etc. It's going to look much better but It's not going to be a full remaster for the Xbox Series X. Manage your expectations.

A 5700 XT (a ~9TF GPU) is around 5-10% slower on average than a Radeon VII (which is still GCN based, so TF comparisons with Navi aren't straightforward)
pcgh
computerbase.de
The Series X GPU should be faster than the VII
I think there have been designs for cartridges floating round. Not sure how reliable they are, but having proprietary flash carts as a storage expansion solution would be possible. Otherwise, I think they'd have to insist on high speed USB4 SSDs that basically don't exist yet (and still might not be fast enough).
The 12/4tf spec rumours were already doing the rounds before that was posted, so whoever wrote that basically compiled existing rumours and threw in a few of their own.2 years ago maybe

That's cool. Just answering the original question. The Series X versions of games will run smoother, look better and spend less time in loading screens. It's the same reason people upgrade PCs. There will be plenty of justification for a lot of people to upgrade before the true next gen exclusives designed from the ground up for these machines arrive. That said, I'd never fault people for waiting a year or two if they can. You'll still get to play with your friends and experience the same stories and characters.
I don't think he's talking about the entire post (or the first part really).
More so this whack part:
"So my thinking is we're basically going to see 4K 60fps Xbox One games at high settings on Series X. Meanwhile PS5's first party games will look like next gen games because they're designed exclusively for PS5."
Yup. It's true. Was unaware of how much more comparable the new architecture is.
Hmmmm. Nothing more to add than that haha.
Glad the specs are finally out there so we can move onto the content and strategy.
Before January 2019? Those images were the first Lockhart rumor I've seen. Only after did I see insiders claim to agree
remains to be seen I guess
gotcha, it's the earliest hit when I searched "leak" in my telegram group chat so I wasn't sure
Ah, right. I'm not sure why I had it in my head that the R7 was RDNA-based. Thanks for the FYI.
A 12 Tflop Navi GPU should be more or less on par with 2080 / Super.
Looking at the way the article is phrased everything that runs on the Xbox One will run on the Series X which will include the 360 and OG Xbox games that are currently backwards compatible.
Sounds like the powerhouse it was rumored to be and Xbox after certainly making smart, consumer-friendly moves for their personal business.
Unfortunately, some of those moves are tempered by the fact it only applies to MS themselves. Smart Delivery is great, unfortunately it's optional for third parties, and who here doesn't expect EA, Activision, and Bethesda to sell you a current gen version as well as a next gen one? They gotta pad those numbers.
And day and date first party titles on Game Pass is nice, but MS's track record for first party this last gen has been dogshit. That being a selling point of the console is largely dependant on you personally having faith in MS to deliver good first party titles, hell, I can't think of a single one that's been announced off the top of my head other than Halo.
In any previous gen, if you would show me these specs I would absolutely swear they would charge $599. But as others have said, with the incredible value of GamePass, it's clear MS is banking on services and subscriptions for the bulk of their revenue going forward, so I'm willing to bet they are willing to eat that up front cost on the hardware and charge $499.
Still, these are very generous policies wrapped up with insanely powerful hardware, I look forward to picking one up. I'm just not sure what I'll be playing on it in the near term.

It'll be Castlevania Harmony of Despair. MS's implementation of back compat is the best thing they've done this gen!

EA did cross gen purchase for Battlefield 4 last time.
I'd wager that there will be 120 fps modes for Overwatch 2, Fortnite, R6 Siege, Next COD, Apex, Rocket League, Forza & GT.
Microsoft aims at power and graphics in this generation. They want to output the game the best they can: FPS, VRR. Do you really think MS will downplay their beast? Do you really think they will build a monster and not invest in giving the best graphics they can?
