Xbox scarlett is the future console of the company, aims at 4k at 60 fps

The arrival of a new generation of consoles is planned for the year 2020, seven years after the launch of the original models of PS4 and Xbox One. Little by little we are having new data on the Xbox Scarlett, and things look really good.

Xbox Scarlett bets on AMD Zen and Navi, will be backward compatible

It will be in 2020 when we see the arrival of the Playstation 5 and the new Xbox, whose code name is Xbox Scarlett. It seems that Microsoft wants to start the new generation on the right foot, and Xbox Scarlett will be backward compatible, meaning that its buyers will be able to enjoy games made for the company's previous generations. It remains to be seen if the Sony PS5 is also, because the current PS4 does not have this technology.

In terms of hardware, both the Xbox Scarlett and the PS5 will take an important step forward by including the AMD Zen CPU architecture inside, which will mean a huge leap in performance compared to the current Jaguar architecture. This processor will be accompanied by an AMD Navi-based graphics core, although it is expected that a SoC design will be chosen again to save on costs, that is, that both the CPU and the GPU are on a single chip. For now, nothing is known regarding the number of cores, frequencies and the cooling system, since it is still too early in its development stage to give information on these data.

As for storage, it is expected that a large-capacity HDD will be chosen again, since a large-capacity SSD would be unfeasible due to its price, much higher than that of a mechanical hard drive. What do you expect from this Xbox Scarlett and the PS5?
