Throughout the recent history of video games, consoles have become one of the most demanded devices by a large number of users. The original PlayStation was one of the best-selling consoles, but as the years have passed, Microsoft has become an alternative to consider that has stood up to the Xbox. But it seems that Microsoft wants to reign in the world of video games and has presented the Xbox One X, a console with more than impressive specifications, characteristics that we detail below.
The feature that attracts the most attention is found in the possibilities it offers us: native 4K gaming, no emulation like today. But to move such a resolution the Xbox X comes from the hand of AMD who has collaborated intensely in the design of this beast, we find inside a 8-core Jaguar processor with a clock frequency of 2,3 GHz.
The GPU, one of the most important parts along with the processor, offers us a power of 6 teraflops, far from the 4 offered by the PS4 Pro. Memory, another of the fundamental parts in the console, although sometimes it happens to a second plane eclipsed by the GPU and CPU, shows us 12 GB type GDDR5.
If we talk about connectivity, Microsoft has implemented HDMI outputs compliant with AMD's 2.1 and Freesync specifications to offer full compatibility with both 4K and HDR resolutions. It also offers us three USB 3.0 ports to connect more storage units, which natively offers us 1 TB of storage, a 4K UHD Blu-ray reader, reader compatible with both videos and games. In addition, it is also compatible with streaming video services that offer content in 4K.
Backward compatibility
At the moment, the developers have already got to work to start releasing content in native 4K unscaled as we can currently find for the Xbox One. All the games that are currently available for the Xbox One will be compatible with the new Xbox One X.
Price and Availability
Microsoft wants this console to be the queen of Christmas shopping and prepares its worldwide launch for November 7 at a price of 499 euros.
