Project Scorpio specs unveiled: The next Xbox has serious power

From CNET: Last year Sony gave us the PlayStation 4 Pro, a more powerful version of the PS4 that allows you to play certain games at higher resolutions. Microsoft has the Xbox One S, its souped up Xbox One. But Project Scorpio -- coming in the fourth quarter of 2017 -- is supposed to take things to a whole new level. An Xbox One on steroids if you will.

Today Microsoft teased its specs, though we still don't know what the new console will look like, how much it will cost or how much better games will look on it.

Here are the specs according to Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, which got an exclusive preview of the console from Microsoft:

GPU: 40 customized compute units at 1,172MHz
Memory: 12GB GGDR5
Memory bandwidth: 326GBps
Hard drive: 1TB (2.5-inch)
