Xbox scorpio would be announced this week

Xbox Scorpio is the new high-end game console that Microsoft is preparing to win the battle against Sony and the Playstation 4 Pro, the new Microsoft machine promises to be the first console on the market capable of running games at native 4K resolution. A wholesaler of video games claims that the new console could be presented this week.

Xbox Scorpio could be announced on Thursday

Previously, it was aimed at its presentation at E3 this 2017 but finally Microsoft would have decided to advance it so that players know what is coming as soon as possible. Rumors suggest that the Xbox Scorpio will have a powerful custom GPU with Vega and Polaris features inside, this GPU will be accompanied by an 8-core CPU, supposedly with the new Zen microarchitecture for great energy efficiency and excellent performance. With this, the new console is capable of running the Forza Motorsport 7 at 4K resolution.

Microsoft will continue to support Xbox One for years after the arrival of Scorpio

The alleged characteristics of the Xbox Scorpio continue with 12 GB of GDDR5 graphics memory, so the concept of ESRAM that started with the Xbox 360 and that has continued with the Xbox One is abandoned, the new approach to unify the memory should simplify a lot of work to developers. The new console reaches a theoretical power of 6 TFLOPs making it practically 50% more powerful than the Sony PS4 Pro.

Xbox Scorpio will be backward compatible with Xbox 360

The new Xbox Scorpio would come as a high-end product and will coexist with the current Xbox One S, Microsoft's policy is that games come out for both platforms, although logically the operating resolution will be much higher on the new machine.
