Microsoft could launch with Xbox One "Scorpio" the most powerful console on the market
name in Scorpio code. This is the nickname with which for now we can refer to a new console that Microsoft is developing to replace its current Xbox One (not to be confused with the possible Xbox One Slim). Wait a minute, but didn&39;t they say that the future of video games was no longer consoles?_"
Large companies in the sector apparently do not see it that way and good proof of this is that both Nintendo with its Nintendo NX or Sony with the rumored PlayStation 4 NEO, they have plans for the future for players who do not want to use the PC for their digital adventures.
So far nothing new under the sun, but where if there may be news, and be careful, for now they are just rumors, is in the potential that the Xbox One would treasure Scorpio, superior to what Sony would achieve with its PlayStation 4 NEO."
These rumors came to light a few hours ago thanks to Kotaku and according to them the Xbox One Scorpio (also called Xbox One Two) offered up to 6 teraflops on average in computing, thus quadrupling the power of Xbox One (1.32 teraflops) and tripling that offered by the current PlayStation 4 (1.84 teraflops).
In addition, these 6 teraflops would significantly exceed the 4.1 teraflops that are currently assigned to the PlayStation 4 NEO. These are just numbers and in the form of rumors, but it would be the first time since Microsoft entered the console world that introduces the most powerful machine (has had the most powerful but only in the case of the original Xbox)."
Numbers and more numbers that look very good and yet they do not make a machine great, because the important thing is the performance that you can get with games afterwardsthat take advantage of all this potential and that also treasure quality and playability.
"The Xbox One Scorpio points to dizzying figures. Will they know how to take advantage of it?"
"What a console with such potential would allow is that creators would have more room to maneuver to make their video games in resolutions up to 4K and even develop titles to work with with virtual reality Thus from Kotaku it is stated that the new Xbox One Scorpio would be compatible with Oculus Rift."
Little more is known to date and thus we do not know the RAM memory that it would include, the storage capacity and above all the hypothetical date of departure, although dates that indicate a are already being considered expected to launch in late 2017.
Also do not confuse this possible Xbox One Scorpio with a new version of the current Xbox One, smaller and with greater capacity of storage and that we will probably see in the next E3."
