Let's list our best guess at the specs for the possible cheaper brother of XBox Series X! Closest to the actual spec earns ERA's fame and glory! Maybe something more tangible too (TBD). There are two parts to this contest: 1. Specs. and 2. Price. You must list both. Specs accuracy counts for 78% of the score (13pts x6) and the price for the rest 22%.
THIS IS BINDING! No changy guessies. Any edited tagged entry will be discarded. Last guess accepted by April 4th 4pm PST cuz who the hell knows when MS will spring the actual specs on us. It could be next week or next year.
I'll go first. Please follow format for ease of judging/scoring. (We all know that CPU is 8 core Zen 2 and GPU is RDNA 2.0 so you don't need that)
SOC - ~240mm^2 (7nm+ TSMC) ~9.5 BN transistors
CPU - 3.6GHz w SMT/3.8GHz wo SMT
GPU - 18 CU (20 - 2) @ 1.8GHz (4.1TF)
RAM - 12GB GDDR6 (6x 14Gbps 16Gb chips) @196 bits/s = 336GB/s
SSD - 512GB with add on slot (2.4GB/s raw 4.8GB compressed)
BR - UHD BR
MSRP - $299
