Microsoft has the world’s most powerful console
ON NOVEMBER 7, you’ll be able to swap $499 for what Microsoft proudly claims to be the world’s most powerful console: the Xbox One X, previously known as Project Scorpio. And yes, the name is a little clumsy. The headline is enough power for full 60fps 4K gaming. The sleek black box packs a custom 2.3GHz eight-core processor, a 40 Compute Unit AMD GPU, and 12GB of GDDR5. Plus, there’s 1TB of storage and a UHD drive. A decent, if not spectacular, hardware upgrade. And that’s what this is: not a new system as such, but an Xbox One with more oomph.
