This is the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition.
The price is $449.99 (about 67,000 yen).
The main body looks like this.
The actual weight is approximately 3.6 kg, which is lighter than the original model, which weighed approximately 4.2 kg.
When Evans began disassembly, the first thing he noticed was that the disk drive area was hollow.
Mr. Evans continues to disassemble.
The heat sink came out.
Compared to the previous model, the difference is immediately obvious, such as the addition of thicker heat pipes.
Next, let's look at the motherboard.
Compared to the previous model, the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition shows that many of the components on the board have been simplified, updated, or rearranged.
One of the biggest differences is the 6nm chip.
The chip size has also been reduced, a change that Evans noted means 'this new Series X is cheaper to manufacture.'
When we measured the power consumption in idle mode, the previous model was about 61 watts.
In comparison, the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition consumes only about 38 watts, significantly reducing power consumption.
On the other hand, during gaming, the conventional model consumed 167 watts and the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition consumed 156 watts, which was not as much difference as in idle mode.
Regarding what he found after disassembly, Evans said, 'The new Xbox Series X has a new redesigned cooling solution and an updated 6nm chip. You'll get essentially the exact same experience as the previous model in every sense, except that it's more efficient. That means you'll save a little bit of power, and as far as I know, there's no negative impact from the cost cutting that Microsoft has done.'
