AMD based Xbox Series X could have 3584 shader processors
Xbox Series X is coming later next year and it is powered by an AMD SoC. The specs in relation to the GPU however have been scarce. That might have changed as some information appeared on AMDs Github page, listing the SoC at 3584 shaders processors.
At the end of last week, several users discovered a Github repository, which was apparently maintained by AMD and contains all sorts of information about the systems-on-a-chip of Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. In the meantime it has been taken offline and associated tweets have also been deleted - probably under pressure from Microsoft and Sony or directly through AMD.
The dataset was quite big, but the gents from DigitalFoundry have deciphered it. The new Xbox would get a GPU with 56 compute units at 1.675 GHz. So at 64 Shaders per CU that is 3584 Shaders. To compare a bit, the Radeon RX 5700 XT has 40 compute units. So that is a mighty heap of graphics power for a console.
| Xbox Series X (Anaconda) | Xbox One X | Xbox One/ Xbox One S | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Eight Zen 2 Cores with SMT - clocks undisclosed | Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 2.3GHz | Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 1.75GHz |
| GPU | 56 custom Navi compute units at approx 1700MHz | 40 custom GCN compute units at 1172MHz | 12 GCN compute units at 853MHz/914MHz (S) |
| Memory | GDDR6 at 560GB/s - capacity undisclosed | 12GB GDDR5 at 326GB/s |
8GB DDR3 at 68GB/s (Plus ESRAM)
|
The Playstation 5 would get 36 compute units and 2304 shaders at 2 GHz. Both consoles are rumored to get GDDR6 for a proper memory bandwidth of let's say 448 GB/s. Both consoles aim to be available for the holidays of 2020.
| PlayStation 5 (Unconfirmed) | PlayStation 4 Pro | PlayStation 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Eight Zen 2 Cores with SMT - clocks undisclosed | Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 2.1GHz | Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 1.6GHz |
| GPU | 36 custom Navi compute units at 2000MHz | 36 custom GCN compute units at 911MHz | 18 GCN compute units at 800MHz |
| Memory | GDDR6 at 448GB/s (Possibly 512GB/s) - capacity undisclosed | 8GB GDDR5 at 218GB/s | 8GB GDDR5 at 176GB/s |

In the past it has been, from time to time, depending on the full pipeline specs. Why do you say this will not be linear?

what's a jensen? and of course a 1000$ graphics card is going to be "faster" than a 600$ (maybe) console.
Guys, Jensen has spoken. 2080 max-q is faster than this.

Well console had nice HW before, but OS was bad.. now with x86 architecture all could be nice from the start.. Because best console would be always pc, its shame that more open Steam machines had always half-ass launch and support..

As long as it is running w/o a cpu it is faster

One thing's for certain both consoles are going to be a great leap for people who just play on consoles, the current generation has actually lasted pretty well on the visuals as the software teams learned to eek out the last drop of their graphics computing power whilst keeping fps up. But the trailers for both these machines will probably impress a lot of folk. It will be fun to see how the developers can use all this new power.
I'm a mouse and keyboard man since Doom, at 51 I'm too old to use a controller proficiently, WASD keys on the left hand, buttons on the right hand. Amen. But I'm looking forward to seeing how cool this sector of the market will be next year.
