Microsoft shows several images of the Xbox Series X AMD SoC

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.

Nice picture, thank you Hilbert but there is a mistake:
Scorpio were XBox one X (the XBox one S "plus") the XBox serie X is Scarlett

I hop they give this thing a better name when it launches or else there might be a lot of Xbox SeX going on ;/.

Needless to say I hope game devs can take advantage of this things technical prowess out of the box because it's looking to be nearly as powerful as my current PC.

Custom GPU of xbox series x will be stronger than RTX 2080ti. The difference will be like exactly like 2080S vs 2080.

Question is: how this power will be translated to performance for gaming through the consoles' ecosystem? I am curious. o_O

5800xt/5900xt if they are just rdna+ and no rdna2 based 6000 series, they will be against 2080S and an unreleased 2080ti(S).

Yeah, people spent the thousand dollar tip for Huang's jacket should never feel betrayed.

I have my own reality, like rpgs, the best gamer is the one who feels the game, not the tourist!
