Xbox One X

Microsoft has done an immense job with the Xbox One X A console with an exquisite design (it is not for nothing that it drinks from the waters of the Xbox One S) that leaves aside that tremendous power supply that the Xbox 360 and Xbox One sported on the outside. And with these measures it has achieved the smallest Xbox in history.

A machine that arrives ready to stand up to the PlayStation 4 and try to surpass it (in figures it has already succeeded) at least in in terms of success based on a catalog of titles that manage to attract buyers. And incidentally inherit all users who now have an Xbox One S looking to switch to the new platform.

"

A machine in which input highlights a data: 6 teraflops A figure that since it came to light rivaled that offers the PlayStation 4, the only console to date that can run games in 4K resolution. And those 1.8 teraflops difference might be noticeable even though running games in 4K at 60fps isn&39;t easily within reach."

A dance of figures that immediately made us imagine how the scale looks now, thinking that the Xbox One X was already a reality in stores, for a possible purchase. We do not enter the catalog of titles but we do in relation to the _hardware_ and the power they offer.

Face by numbers

Let's see how their confrontation is in terms of technical specifications with the PS4 that aspires to be in principle their great rival and its predecessor, the Xbox One S.

There are differences, but how many?

There are differences between PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, although not as exaggerated. But where there is a clear increase is with respect to Xbox One S, which will translate into a graphic improvement of the games with much shorter loading and installation times.

In terms of power, the Xbox One X boasts 6 teraflops with a GPU running at a frequency of 1.1722 GHz. This is supported by 12 GB of GDDR5 RAM, of which 9 GB are free to be used by developers in their titles and they say it will be able to play games in 4K at 60 fps (that must be seen). And in thisthere would be a difference with the PS4 that outputs them to 4K but making use of a system called Checkerboard rendering and that allows titles to appear in 4K without the stress load for the GPU is too high.

How we see surpasses in a less than appreciable way, not only the Xbox One S, but also the PlayStation 4 Pro. And it does it, for example, by maintaining something that we I like how the support is in the physical media reader to be able to use Bluray UHD, something that was already released on Xbox One S and that makes it a very interesting option to get more than just a console , but also with a Bluray UHD at a reasonable price.

Many can see in the price an unbalancing factor And it is that PS4 Pro seems to offer a better quality/price ratio, since Those 399 euros are a significant reduction compared to the 499 that the Xbox One X will cost, although apart from the difference in power we must take into account the Bluray UHD factor.

The truth is that Christmas this year can be a real war to conquer the user in stores.Battles with price cuts (we've already seen them on Xbox One S and rumored to be on PS4 too) and with new titles that will make the competition tougher than ever.
