Xbox One X: this is the name chosen by Microsoft to present the most powerful console in history
Table of contents:
In the end it was neither Xbox Scorpio nor any of the other names that had previously circulated through the network. In the end Microsoft has chosen to call its console Xbox One X (a display of little originality one could say) with which we stand before the most powerful console that up to now it has existed.
A machine for which there is already a release date, next November 7th and little by little we are learning details , games and the powerful hardware that hides inside.A machine that comes to replace or coexist with Xbox One S? Let's see it.
A console that in terms of physical appearance stands out for being the smallest Xbox ever made and in which a design is used clearly inspired by the Xbox One S. Elegant, discreet and with two colors to choose from: black and white.
In terms of power, the Xbox One X boasts a remarkable (on paper, which you then have to take advantage of) 6 teraflops with a GPU running at a frequency of 1.1722 GHz. Thisis supported by 12 GB of GDDR5 RAM of which 9 GB are left free for developers to use in their titles.

A machine that has a processor that is a work of engineering. A heart made with 16 nm technology in which 7 billion transistors are used and which has a liquid-cooled vapor chamber for cooling that seeks to dissipate heat on the Xbox One X
Power thanks to a GPU with 40 custom compute units 1,172 MHz with 12 GB of GDDR5 memory that allows 326 GB/s of bandwidth.
A console that offers 326 GB/s bandwidth something that will make playing games at native 4K resolution a breeze possible. In addition, and as expected it will have support for HDR video and high-quality sound as is offered thanks to the Dolby Atmos Premium system Oh and regarding the Xbox One S continues to maintain the UHD Bluray drive. In addition, and so that there are no space problems, we are going to have a storage capacity of 1 TB (goodbye to the 500 GB with which we have lived until today).Even and I don't think it's unreasonable, in the near future we could see a model with a larger hard drive.
What about Xbox One X compatibility?
It is one of the questions that users usually ask each time a new console comes out, although later we have seen studies that show that the games from our old machines are not used as much as we think. But back to the point, Xbox One X will be fully compatible with Xbox 360 backward compatible video games and with all Xbox One games and accessories
In the cases of Xbox One (Xbox One S) the graphic aspect of the games will also be improved with an improvement in the images, now with better quality and with shorter loading times in the titles. In addition, games will see improved supersampling since the power of the new console will improve resolution output to 1080p and 4K rendering.
Price and availability
And we already know the price and launch date of the new console how Phil Spencer has been in charge of announcing. 499 dollars that will be 499 euros, is the amount to pay to be able to get it from November 7of this year, just before the Christmas season.
