Xbox One X - Features

As well as a gaming machine, Microsoft's new console is set to work as a beefy media player. The latter use case has had a helpful boost with the announcement that Amazon's Video App will support 4K on the new console at launch.

It will released in November. The '' Xbox One X '' is set to not only be Microsoft's most powerful console ever. It will be the best ever of Xbox history.

Xbox one X give you 4K gaming experience. Well, Xbox One X will be the company’s first 4K video game console and will have the ability not only to render games at a (3,840 x 2,160) resolution, but often run those games at 60 frames per second. That’s unlike the Xbox One S which can only render games at 1080p and then upscale them to 4K.

On the CPU side of things, the Xbox One X is running a custom chip with eight Jaguar CPU cores clocked at 2.3GHz. That’s a 76% increase compared the CPU inside the original Xbox One and Xbox One S, but probably only puts it in the ballpark of a current-gen Intel Core i3 processor. What that means is that you’ll probably see games that look as good on Xbox One X as they do on a low-to-mid-range gaming PC, but we’re still a ways away from Xbox outclassing custom-built gaming rigs.

The more important comparison for the Xbox One X, and the one Microsoft would rather you focus on, is to the PS4 Pro. Sony’s system is a fairly competent competitor – its GPU has 36 compute units at 911Mhz that work in tandem with a 2.1GHz CPU and 8GB of GDDR5 memory. That memory runs into a bit of a bottleneck at the buffer, which is limited to 218GB/s, but it still puts out around 4 Teraflops of performance.
