Finally Microsoft Confirm the existence of Xbox series S Tuesday and the day after Announce hardware specifications A small and inexpensive next-generation console. The $299 Series S seems like a great proposition for those who don’t mind physical games or 4K resolution.
The main thing to know about the Series S is that it’s built to play all of the same next generation games as its more powerful sibling, the Xbox Series X, except for the low target resolution of 1440p instead of 4K. .. Both consoles can play games at frame rates up to 120 frames per second. According to Microsoft, the Series S offers the same visual fidelity as the Series X — hardware accelerated real-time ray tracing, variable rate shading and mesh shaders. It also upscales native resolution output to 4K.
“By designing the two consoles side-by-side from the beginning, we provide the same core gaming experience while allowing developers to easily scale their games between both consoles with minimal effort,” he said. Managing Director Jason Ronald said that in the case of Xbox, Detailed video of Xbox Series S.. “This means that the Xbox Series S offers the same stunning next-generation experience and features as the Series X—just reduced rendering resolution.”
The Xbox Series S delivers 4 teraflops of graphics performance. So on paper, Xbox One X (6th teraflops of best modern console), 67% lower performance than the Xbox Series X, but due to Microsoft’s construction method, it can deliver the same performance as the Series X. In addition to the graphics rendering mentioned above, it offers “same I/O performance” for the Series X, courtesy of the solid state drive and Xbox Velocity architecture. This means that Series S owners can improve load times just like the Series X, among other benefits.
In terms of specifications, the Xbox Series S includes “the same 8-core Zen 2 CPU architecture as the Xbox Series X,” but slightly downclocked to run at a constant frequency of 3.6 GHz instead of 3.8 GHz. The points are different. (When you enable simultaneous multithreading, Series S CPUs run at 3.4 GHz instead of Series X 3.6 GHz.) Series S GPUs contain 20 much fewer compute units instead of 52. , Runs at a slow frequency of 1.565 GHz. Series X 1.825 GHz. According to Microsoft, due to the “virtual memory multiplier” provided by the Xbox Velocity Architecture, even low Raw numbers do not throttle Series S very well.
The system memory is “scaled to 1440p to match the target resolution,” says Ronald. The Series S has 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM instead of the 16 GB of the Series X and has less memory bandwidth. Another big difference is internal storage. Both consoles provide the same storage bandwidth, while the read speed is 2.4 GB/sec for uncompressed data and 4.8 GB/sec for compressed data — Series S SSDs are half of Series X SSDs. By size, 512 GB instead of 1 TB. This can be a fixed point on all Digital Series S, and storage requirements for many modern games have risen to nearly 100 GB, if not more than 100 GB.
Yes — the main Xbox Series X feature that Series S lacks is an optical drive. Recently, Most games are sold digitally (The tendency of the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate). Owners of any of the next-generation Xboxes can purchase more console internal storage by purchasing. 1 TB storage expansion cardHowever, Microsoft has not yet announced the price of its own device manufactured by Seagate. The console supports USB external hard drives, but backward compatible Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games can only be played from external storage. Next-generation games must be installed on an internal SSD or storage expansion card.
Excluding 4K Blu-ray drives is one of the ways Microsoft can keep costs down. Although it cannot play games or Blu-ray movies, the Xbox Series S, like the Series X, supports 4K video output for streaming services. In fact, Microsoft announced Wednesday that both consoles will support Dolby Vision HDR at the launch of services such as Disney Plus, Netflix and Vudu. Next-generation consoles will also be available for Dolby Vision support for the game sometime in 2021. HDMI 2.1 output for advanced video features Variable refresh rate, automatic low latency mode, etc.
Both Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X Will be released worldwide on November 10.. Pre-order is Live distribution on September 22..
