 ゲームを続きからプレイするには最強!?「Xbox Series X」の魅力とは

The first Xbox was released in November 2001 and 18 years ago, then the Xbox 360 was released in November 2005, and the third generation Xbox One was released in November 2013 (for each game console). (There are also high-end models and popular versions) This is the 4th generation machine.

The CPU is made by AMD like the existing Xbox One, and adopts a Zen 2 based 8-core CPU. The GPU will be 12.15 TFLOPS based on RDNA 2, similar to AMD's latest GPU "Radeon RX 6000" series, which will be announced on October 28th and will be released globally on November 18th.

TFLOPS is one of the units that express the calculation performance, and in the same game machine, PlayStation 4 (PS4) is 1.84 TFLOPS, PlayStation 4 Pro (PS4 Pro) is 4.2 TFLOPS, Xbox One is 1.3 TFLOPS, Xbox One X is 6. TFLOPS. In other words, the Xbox Series X has twice the performance of the Xbox One X and theoretically higher performance than the 10.3 TFLOPS of the rival PlayStation 5 (PS5).

In addition, the Xbox Series X will be equipped with a PCI Express 4.0 (Gen 4) compatible NVMe SSD that is compatible with AMD's X570 and B550 chipsets. Not only that, but with a technology called "Velocity Architecture", memory, SSD, dedicated hardware and DirectX API are integrated to reduce unnecessary reading that has occurred in the past. As a result, the game is more comfortable and the storage speed is faster.
