The Beast Within: Project Scorpio's Power and Specs Revealed!




Today Digital Foundry confirmed what we were all expecting.  That Xbox's current Project Scorpio is an absolute juggernaut and once released will be the most powerful console in existence.  Scorpio will deliver performances that were previously not possible on console in terms of framerate, resolution, and computing.  The numbers are in and here is what we are looking at:

CPU: Eight custom x86 cores
  • GPU: 6 teraflops
  • RAM: 12GB GDDR5
  • Memory bandwidth: 326GB/s
  • Vapor-chamber cooling
  • 1TB Hard Drive

  • It's also been said that even WITHOUT Scorpio patches the new console will increase the performance of existing Xbox One S and backward compatible games and those games should see improvements in terms of framerate, load times, and resolution.  Digital Foundry ran a stress test with Forza 6 and the game ran natively at 4K resolution and 60 fps while using only 60-70% of the console's power.

    No price has been stated as of yet but there will be more information on Project Scorpio in the coming weeks and you can bet the Lions are going to be all over it. E3 can't come soon enough.
