Xbox Series S could have a portable form factor, SoC would be fabbed at 5nm
And that news is derived from Matt Hargett, who worked for several months as a lead engineer on the Playstation 5 team. he has made some bold statements about the Xbox Series S in response to a tweet from Tom Warren who tweeted about it's 20 CUs in that console.
According to Hargett's tweet, the console's SOC is likely fabbed at 5nm instead of 7nm. The console itself could get a portable form factor unlike the bigger size of the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. With the SoC fabbed at 5nm, it is likely to generate less heat gets smaller cooling or a need for it, and a smaller form factor. It is suggested that it might look similar to the Xbox One S Digital Edition, being small in size and making it easy to take to a friend's to play with, or something like that.
According to rumours, the Xbox Series S will be announced at the Xbox 20/20 event in August, so it still takes about a month and a half to see it. There we will know if all these rumours end up being true or not. Meanwhile, we recommend taking all the information with tweezers since they are rumours.

Well the only thing gimped is the gpu and the ram, cpu is the same so will just be lower visual settings and probably less detailed objects.

ITT people forget that 4K gaming is garbage for the vast majority of rigs and even these upcoming consoles.

1080p for a console is fine sitting several feet away even on a 50" tv. 720p sux though as anything non native on an LCD tv looks awful unless. the native res is an integer multiple, e. g. 1080p on a 4k tv.
PC is a different beast though as youre so close to it, i use 3440x1400p and i dont see any need currently to go above that considering the gpu hit on performance.
4k would be good on a projector though
