Xbox Series X

Well, I think the design is so different from anything else that despite the shit name it will be able to....stand on its own. LMAO.

The new Xbox is barely announced and the cows are already in full on salt mode. Lol

Stupid name, interesting design.

Me in love with SeX, big time!!

Curious to know what specs this system has if it really is capable of raytracing at 4k 60fps

@X_CAPCOM_X: Wii U will still be bashed, but now it has some company :)

eehh I've seen better looking mini itx cases. That thing look looks like a jumbo Amazon Alexa that was pushed through a square hole.

Nice, I like it. Sleek and plain i like that, looks like a rig too me, which isnt a bad thing.sit next to the tv like a speaker. Actually makes me think its going to have the high specs people have rumored. I already have a rig, but the xbox sex could possibly be a nice companion for the living room, 2-3 years in once they make the update model, might snag.

Really, care to share these better looking mini itx cases?

Phanteks Evolv Shift is sexy.

Also some other simple designs like this that look good....

I have no words... :-S XD

M$ needs to stop designing things.

@freedomfreak said:

It looks awful.

At least with the Xbox One, you could just about argue its design. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a worse looking home console in history than this X-thing. I wouldn't even buy a PC tower that looked like this.

Just imagine some bawbag designer wanting it to look like a monolith to signify some pretentious wankery nobody gives a shit about.

@Pedro: Well I use this case for starters, the Silverstone Raven RVZ03

Fractal Node 202

Silverstone SST FTZ01S

Silverstone Raven RVZ01

Deepcool Tristellar

DAN Cases A4-SFX v2

Bitfenix Portal

Asrock M8 Mini

Then there is all the SFF gaming PCs built by manufacturers that I think have cool designs.

For starters the ibuypower SBX/steam machine

ibuypower revolt

Alienware X51

Asus GR8 and GR20

Cyberpower Syber Vapor/Steam machine

MSI Trident and Trident X

Falcon Northwest Tiki PC

Digital Storm Bolt 1/2/3

Origin Chronos

AMD's Project Quantum

@NoodleFighter: just so you know, when you are an adult all of these looks freaking cringe worthy....

@djoffer: Even the ones without RGB?

imo, its definitely best looking console design i have ever seen. truly unique.

I wouldn’t call the design bad looking, but frankly it looks inconveniently big. Perhaps it’s a way of making something very powerful with good ventilation but lower cost. I don’t know if most people would accept the trade off. For me it’s ok it’s an acceptable compromise, don’t know for the casuals.

Well that's proof enough that it really is fucked.

LOL TLHBO.

Looks like a chimney. This was the most boring console reveal in history. Will probably end up buying it one day to replace my One. Don't expect much in terms of new big games.

Confirmed iterations, pass.

@SolidGame_basic: You do know that this can be used horizontally?

It looks like PC tower. They probably should've just called it the Xbox Scarlett, Xbox Emerald, Xbox Tower, Xbox Two, Xbox Dos or something.

@hitmanactual: Xbox SeX works for me, not sure what the problem is....

I thought it was a stupid name until you listed them out.

Makes sense now.

Im assuming the "Lockhart" console will be "Series S", which would mesh with their "Xbox Family" commitment

This as well, and that's ruining consoles for me. I was already annoyed at the Ps4Pro and OneX, and it seems this is the way forward. This sexbox is gonna be underpowered in like a year, and then they'll announce the next version of it.

You might as well dump a great amount of money into a PC, so you're set way longer than these iterations.

Sweet design, not very practical, but I dig it. BUT if next gen is anything like this gen I should be able to play all the MS games on my PC when I get a GPU for it. So no Xbox for me next gen, unless I need it as a back up system to take with me when I'm not home on my PC. The demos looked really good though, can't wait to see what the PS5 is capable of! Defo ready for this gen to be over.

“I will go back home to play Xbox sex” sounds like you are a sad and lonely man that really needs a girlfriend. Just saying...

@uninspiredcup: Please tell me you're trolling.... I can't keep up with sarcasm on these boards....

@NoodleFighter: Wow. Why do pc cases have to be so garish? It's like the designers of those cases never heard of minimalism.

The day Nintendo go down this route will be the day I give them all up.

Looks great, cooling was prioritized (as should be) and the green led lights on the top fan is a neat little detail. Looks sleek and minimalist, thankfully there are vertical spaces under my tv where the XXX (XboX series X) could fit perfectly.

But let's talk specs. I heard they can use the Nvme SSD as virtual ram if the game is designed around it. So this could theoretically allow a 100gb of virtual ram if a game could request such space. Were any other specs confirmed?

@NoodleFighter: pretty sure the wife would kick me out if I brought any of them home and suggested to plant them in the living room.. the Xbox I could probaly get away with! At least she allows the pro being next to the tv:)

Goodbye XBOX SAD...

Hello XBOX SEX.... Phil, just played all you acronym makers. lol

:P

@dotWithShoes: May not be imaginative but at least it makes sense.

I always thought Sega had the best naming conventions. Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast. All really great names.

Doesn't look bad. Maybe a bit boring.

Terrible name as usual, but doesn't everyone just say "Xbox" anyway? Pretty sure saying "I'm gonna go play some Xbox One X" isn't very common.

I like the name - I just don't like it in the context of the past names. They are all over the place and it's definitely a bad idea from a parents buying perspective. But it's a good jazzy name on its own

Plus now MS has its own sexbox

@Telekill: yeah Sega takes the names easily

Looks like they are going for cooling with that design. Could this be the first console with a decent cooling solution?

I like the way it looks anyway, but I don't need another PC. If I can put Windows on it I'd consider it for a replacement for my living room gaming rig.

@sealionact: I've got a nice subtle tower case with a dim red glow on some internal components. Similar design philosophy to this Xbox. I never understood the draw of the magatron cases either

From https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-will-be-twice-as-powerful-as-xbox-on/1100-6472198/

With the launch of the Xbox Series X, it's no surprise Microsoft has graphical capability on the mind. Spencer told us, "We wanted to have a dramatic upgrade from the Xbox One base console. So when we do the math, we're over eight times the GPU power of the Xbox One, and two times what an Xbox One X is."

And when we do the math too, the Series X seems to be hitting around 12 teraFLOPs (the general metric used as shorthand to indicate graphics processing power)

...

On the CPU side, which is [something] we really wanted to push relative to previous generations, we have four times the compute power on the CPU in Project Scarlett.

Xbox Series X vs Xbox One X

GPU: 2X, looks like 23 percent upgrade RX 5700 XT's 9.75 TFLOPS

CPU: 4X,

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt/28.html

Xbox Series X could land on today's Radeon VII to RTX 2080 power range which could be next year's RTX 3070 "Ampere" level.

RTX 2080 Ti is very powerful with up to 17 TFLOPS compute and six GPC (geometry) with 88 ROPS at +1900 Mhz raster power.

Four Turing GPC ~= Four AMD NAVI geometry.

A bit more vague detail on the xbox series x. Interested to see what the specs will be for the lower end series. Think alleged lockhart(low end) will be my speed.

@NoodleFighter:

Xbox Series X's follows Microsoft Surface's minimalist theme. Xbox Series X could be named Xbox Surface X.

Anyway, "Corsair One" case

Xbox Series X is effectively semi-compact desktop gaming PC.

Pretty awesome all around.

Please don't put it horizontaly.

Or maybe they are moving their base to what will be your next xbox after the series X a simple PC with what ever card you wan and a xbox software store.

Don't know but i have say several time that MS moving its games to PC was suspicious,and that they were migrating thei base to PC.

Now look at that desing is basically a PC with a close OS.

Still wondering what sony took from the 360 for the PS4 other than charging for online play which by no means was good for us.

MMM...most of the people complaining are not even cows.

I don't think the design is bad the name tho is shitty as hell.

Please don't put it horizontally.

Microsoft is deep in PC hardware business with Surface series PCs.

https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/10/17961938/microsoft-surface-top-pc-maker-gartner-2018

In the US market, Microsoft is 5th top PC maker.

Microsoft can remain in gaming. Hint: Windows gaming PC is Microsoft's platform.

Background

Microsoft is the king maker for X86-64/AMD64 CPU path.

Dave N. Cutler (Windows NT father) makes a speech about AMD x64 processor.

AMD-Microsoft's AMD64 combo killed IBM Power 970 (PowerPC G5/PowerPC 64bit) and Intel Itanium (IA-64 with X86-32 BC).

Microsoft killed IBM's PowerPC 620 which is X86-32 BC and PowerPC 64 bit by declaring Microsoft will not support it.

@tormentos: Or maybe non of what your conspiracy theory is leading to. The fact is, consoles are PCs dedicated for gaming. Consoles being unique hardware wise died at the start of this gen.
