Microsoft has (via Digital Foundry) разгласила официальную техническую характеристику своей новой консоли, known as Project Scorpio.
Project Scorpio to become the most powerful console of all time, and this is not surprising, after all the players from around the world are waiting for information about it with great interest. Digital Foundry team got a chance to get into the headquarters of Microsoft, and get acquainted with it before anyone else. Now, he shares his impressions with us.
Что представляет собой Project Scorpio?
main news: we learned the official technical specifications of the new console from Microsoft. The heart of Project Scorpio is an eight x86 processor with a clock speed 2,3 GHz (on 30 percent more efficient than Xbox One). It has also been applied in 4,6 times more powerful gpu with 40 further elaborated calculation units on 1172 MHz and 12 GB GDDR5 memory. Bandwidth memory reaches gpu 326 GB / sec.
Let us dwell a little on the processors, because Microsoft has changed the CPU and GPU. According to Eurogamer: "Each individual processor Scorpio Engine goes TSMC with its conveyor, profile adapted strains. It is worth noting that the motherboard and the processor does not go with a different from one conveyor ".
Hard drive console Project Scorpio has a capacity 1 TB and different to 50% better bandwidth. Thereby, download time should be much shorter. Заменили также звуковой процессор.
Консоль будет оснащена „самым эффективным в истории консолей” блоком питания 245 W. If we are talking about cooling, we find here the system, consisting of a heat sink with a water chamber and a fan.
Project Scorpio will also receive a new optical drive, which will allow to play video, recorded on Blu-ray in resolution 4K Ultra HD. Drive Xbox GameDVR allow in particular to record video as 4K 60p and HDR.
| Console | Project Scorpio | Xbox One | PlayStation 4 Pro |
| CPU processor: | 8 x86 cores (Jaguar?), 2,3 GHz | 8 Jaguar cores, 1,75 GHz | 8 Jaguar cores, 2,1 GHz |
| GPU processor: | 40 computational units, 1172 MHz | 12 computational units, 853 MHz (914 Мгц в Xbox One S) | 36 computational units, 911 MHz |
| Memory: | 12 GB DDR5 | 8 GB DDR3 + 32 MB ESRAM | 8 GB GDDR5 |
| Memory Bandwidth: | 326 GB / sec | 68 GB / s (DDR3) + 204 GB / sec (ESRAM) / 219 GB / sec in Xbox One S | 218 GB / sec |
| HDD: | 1 TB, 2,5″ | 500 GB /1 TB / 2 TB, 2,5″ | 1 TB, 2,5″ |
- Optical disc drive: 4K Blu-ray;
- Power Supply: 245 AT;
- HDMI output: 2160p, 60 Hz, HDR10, HDCP 2.0;

- Wireless connection: IEEE 802.11 ac, 2×2 Wi-Fi;
- Wired communication connection: Ethernet 10/10/1000;
Such components will certainly make the console more effective compared to the current console Xbox One. Computational power is also significantly greater, than in the case of the PlayStation 4 Pro. In principle, this is not surprising, because it was designed specifically for the resolution of 4K Ultra HD.
Все игры предназначенные для Xbox One будут доступны для Project Scorpio
each game, which was released on Xbox One It will also be available on the Project Scorpio. Moreover, if affect the gameplay, the game on the new device will be launched in the native resolution of 4K, also with 60 frames per second.
