Microsoft today revealed the specs for Project Scoprio to Digital Foundry and Eurogamer. Scorpio is the code name for the next version of Microsoft’s Xbox One console, which will come out late this year.
- CPU: Eight custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3GHz
- GPU: 40 customized compute units at 1172MHz
- Memory: 12GB GDDR5
- Memory bandwidth: 326GB/s
- Hard drive: 1TB 2.5-inch
- Optical drive: 4K UHD Blu-ray
Not only does the new hardware represent an upgrade from older Xbox One models, but Project Scoprio will put the brand ahead of the PlayStation 4, which launched its mid-cycle upgrade (the PlayStation 4 Pro) last year. Project Scorpio has more memory (12GB GDDR5 compared to PlayStation 4 Pro’s 8GB GDDR5, 8GB of which will be available for games as opposed to 5GB for PlayStation 4 Pro), memory bandwidth (326GB/s compared to PlayStation 4 Pro’s 218GB/s), and a better CPU (eight cores clocked at 2.3GHz compared to PlayStation 4 Pro’s 2.1GHz).
