Jakarta (ANTARA) – Microsoft has finally revealed the specifications of its new tiny Xbox Series S console, which will arrive on November 10.
The device has a resolution of 1440p, using the same CPU as the Xbox Series X running at 3.6Hz. This figure is slightly slower than the 3.8Hz speed run on the X Series.
“The main difference between the Xbox Series X and S is the GPU,” said Microsoft’s director of Xbox program management, Jason Ronald, quoted by The Verge, Thursday.
Meanwhile, when compared to the performance of the Xbox One, the head of platform and hardware engineering at Xbox, Liz Hamren, said the Xbox Series S delivers four times the processing power of the Xbox One console, and supports experiences of up to 120fps.
“The main difference between the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S lies in the resolution. When talking to customers, we found that many of our fans prioritize framerate over resolution, so we wanted to make a console that didn’t need a 4K TV,” said Liz.
The different GPUs make the Xbox Series S more affordable. Even so, the GPU Series S promises to be around three times more powerful than the Xbox One.
The Xbox Series S has 20 CU at 1,565GHz with 4 teraflops of performance, while the Xbox Series X has 12.15 teraflops (52 CU at 1,825 GHz). There’s a big difference here, but Microsoft is targeting the Xbox Series S on monitors and TVs with 1080p or 1440p resolution.
The Xbox Series S includes 10GB of GDDR6 memory running at 224 Gbps, while the Xbox Series X ships with 16GB of GDDR6.
The console, which is 60 percent smaller than the Xbox Series X, is also equipped with the Microsoft Xbox Velocity architecture for a custom 512GB SSD, which allows features like Quick Resume to switch betweengame quickly.
Microsoft uses the same expansion slot found on the X Series, allowing Xbox Series S owners to purchase a 1TB storage card to increase storage space game.
All the specifications for the Xbox Series S show that the console is capable of running game next generation, but at a lower resolution than the Xbox Series X.
If the Xbox Series X is priced at 499 US dollars (around Rp.7.4 million), the tiny version of the console, the Xbox Series S is offered at a price of 299 US dollars (around Rp.4.4 million).
