You can always tell it is an AMD chip by that metal side plating eh? Through their Twitter accounts, David Prien, Xbox Senior Hardware Director, and Xbox Head himself, Phil Spencer, revealed two images of the SOC that the Xbox Series X also known as Project Scarlet.
Prien's tweet shows a tray for 8 of these custom SOCs, although there are only 7. That's why he jokes that Phil found the missing one, since Phil Spencer uploaded the following photo, where he zooms in a bit better. You can see the SOC much closer, revealing inscriptions that say 8K and Project Scarlett. According to rumors, this chip will offer a power of more than 12TFLOPS, and will support Ray-Tracing (Hardware). Unfortunately, further specifications are not known, we will probably see more information soon.
The new Xbox is rumored to 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.
