| Memory bandwidth | 560GB / s (10GB), 336GB / s (6GB) |
| Internal storage | 1TB NVMe SSD |
| transfer speed | 2.4GB / s (uncompressed), 4.8GB / s (compressed) |
| Extended storage | 1TB expansion card (equivalent to internal storage) |
| External storage | USB 3.2 external HDD support |
| optical drive | 4K UHD Blu-ray drive |
Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft's games division, details each of the Xbox Series X specs. Compared to the previous generation Xbox One, the CPU has a processing speed of 4 times and the GPU has a processing speed of 8 times or more. Image quality is achieved by a system called `` Variable Refresh Rate (VRS) '' that focuses on important elements such as specific game characters and environmental objects instead of uniformly using GPU performance for all pixels on the screen Stable frame rate and high resolution without dropping In addition, 'DirectX Raytracing,' which makes light reflection real, is also implemented.
Regarding extended storage, Xbox Series X can additionally insert a card-type dedicated extended SSD equivalent to internal storage. In addition, external HDD of USB 3.2 can be added, so it has excellent expandability.
In addition, a function called 'Quick Resume' allows you to switch between multiple suspended games one after another. With the function called Dynamic Latency Input (DLI), it seems that the latency of the Xbox wireless controller was optimized and the input delay was eliminated. Similarly, by supporting HDMI 2.1 and 120FPS, the delay in display speed on the display side is also minimized.
Regarding backward compatibility, a function called 'Xbox Velocity Architecture' not only allows thousands of titles of Xbox One including games such as original Xbox and Xbox 360 to be played, but also stable frame rate, fast loading time, improvement It is said that old generation games can be played at the specified resolution. In addition, purchased games will be automatically executed using the 'Smart Delivery' technology, the version appropriate for each Xbox generation.
On the official page, performance such as cooling performance is explained graphically. The Xbox Series X uses an innovative parallel cooling system to divide the heat load into multiple airflows to better manage the internal temperature of the console subsystem.
The motherboard is split. By dividing, it seems that it is possible to output not only uniform internal temperature but also much power.
