From PC Mag: Microsoft has today revealed the full hardware specification of the Xbox Series X as well as the proprietary cards allowing for its storage to be expanded.
Writing on Xbox Wire, editor in chief Will Turtle, shared what must be the most detailed pre-launch breakdown of a games console ever released. Most important of all, is the complete spec of the machine, which includes:
- AMD Custom Zen 2 CPU running at 3.8GHz (7nm 8-cores ,16 threads)
- AMD Custom RDNA 2 GPU running at 1.825GHz (3,382 shaders, 52 Compute Units)
- 16GB GDDR6 RAM
- 1TB custom NVMe SSD
- 4K UHD Blu-ray optical drive
Other features of note include support for external hard drives running over a USB 3.2 connection, but also a new, proprietary storage expansion card created in partnership with Seagate. Microsoft is set to make 1TB cards available initially, and they match the internal storage solution, meaning the same performance should be achieved. What we don't know yet is how much the cards will cost or if larger cards are planned.
