Microsoft: Xbox Series X will have 12 TFLOPs, ray tracing, and cross-buy

Microsoft decided that this random Monday would be a good time to divulge some new details about its upcoming console, the Xbox Series X.

The machine is coming this fall, and we now know a bit more about its features and hardware. This includes a GPU of 12 teraflops, which is twice as many as what the Xbox One X has. The console will also support hardware-accelerated DirectX ray tracing and variable rate shading, which “results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality.”
