As Spencer explains, while the Xbox Series X is powerful, it also “represents a superior balance of power and speed in console design.” There is so much ground to cover, that it might be easier to share the bullet points:

  • Next Generation Custom Processor: Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever powered by our custom-designed processor leveraging AMD’s latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures. Delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox One and enabling developers to leverage 12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One. Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher framerates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.
  • Variable Rate Shading (VRS): Our patented form of VRS empowers developers to more efficiently utilize the full power of the Xbox Series X. Rather than spending GPU cycles uniformly to every single pixel on the screen, they can prioritize individual effects on specific game characters or important environmental objects. This technique results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality.
  • Hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing: You can expect more dynamic and realistic environments powered by hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing – a first for console gaming. This means true-to-life lighting, accurate reflections and realistic acoustics in real time as you explore the game world.
  • SSD Storage: With our next-generation SSD, nearly every aspect of playing games is improved. Game worlds are larger, more dynamic and load in a flash and fast travel is just that – fast.
  • Quick Resume: The new Quick Resume feature lets you continue multiple games from a suspended state almost instantly, returning you to where you were and what you were doing, without waiting through long loading screens.
  • Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): We’re optimizing latency in the player-to-console pipeline starting with our Xbox Wireless Controller, which leverages our high bandwidth, proprietary wireless communication protocol when connected to the console. With Dynamic Latency Input (DLI), a new feature which synchronizes input immediately with what is displayed, controls are even more precise and responsive.
  • HDMI 2.1 Innovation: We’ve partnered with the HDMI forum and TV manufacturers to enable the best gaming experience through features such as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). ALLM allows Xbox One and Xbox Series X to automatically set the connected display to its lowest latency mode. VRR synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the game’s frame rate, maintaining smooth visuals without tearing. Ensuring minimal lag and the most responsive gaming experience.
  • 120 fps Support: With support for up to 120 fps, Xbox Series X allows developers to exceed standard 60 fps output in favor of heightened realism or fast-paced action.
  • Four generations of gaming: Our commitment to compatibility means existing Xbox One games, including backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games, look and play better than ever before. Your favorite games, including titles in Xbox Game Pass, benefit from steadier framerates, faster load times and improved resolution and visual fidelity – all with no developer work required. Your Xbox One gaming accessories also come forward with you.
  • Smart Delivery: This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on. We’re making the commitment to use Smart Delivery on all our exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles, including Halo Infinite, ensuring you only have to purchase a title once in order to play the best available version for whichever Xbox console they choose to play on. This technology is available for all developers and publishers, and they can choose to use it for titles that will be released on Xbox One first and come to the Xbox Series X later.
  • Xbox Game Pass: In addition to games from across four generations of consoles, our leading game subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, will continue to have our first-party games, like Halo Infinite, included at their launch. We look forward to millions of you experiencing the Xbox Game Pass portfolio and immersing yourselves in a deep library of high-quality games, playing those you love now and also discovering your next great adventure.
So, to quickly summarize, Xbox Series X will have four times the processing power of the Xbox One, raytracing to enhance the realism of in-game worlds, a next-generation SSD for lightning-fast load times, more responsive controls, support for 120fps gaming, backward compatibility for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox titles, Smart Delivery of first-party titles to play on multiple generations, and continued support for Xbox Game Pass.

12 Terraflops...in a console...
and “probably” for $500.

I definitely wanna get one whenever it's released, but I don't think I'll go crazy to get it immediately like I did with the Scorpio edition of the X1X. I just don't play enough anymore.
 
I may go in on this over upgrading my PC come time. I won't have an exceptional amount of time for games across the next few years and something that's straightforward and reliable might be more fun than having to fiddle with my PC.

That's what I did for this last generation. I havent been disappointed at all.

Not specifically that CD RED PROJEKT was/is the first to adopt it with Cyberpunk which means day one goodness on the new console. It being adopted by such a powerhouse other than the first party titles is a huge thing and is only going to make others follow suit.

I'll always get consoles because how ugly (most, but not all) PC gamers can get with their snobbery. Don't get me wrong, as an AV guy, I love better performance and cleaner visuals but I've rarely come across a PC gamer who isn't condescending towards console gamers.

By that logic, Hot Toys collectors like myself should ruthlessly hound and mock poor peasants buying NECA, Marvel Legends or cheaper figures because "I'm better than them". Gimme a break.

PC Master race is a real condition, I swear. Games are games. I don't know why we can't all band together and just enjoy them as one big group. It's gotta come from a a "I'm better than you" place. PC opened up a lot of cool opportunities and offered a number of cool experiences, but in the end the simplicity of a console realllyy makes a difference. Now that we're fast closing the gap with console tech, I really am not sure that the PC crowd is going to have as strong of a leg to stand on any longer.

I will say, the one thing is that I wish I'd have waited to get to play Red Dead in 60fps rather than on Xbone.
 
It looks like they stopped trying to claim 4k and 60 FPS at least.

Even the mighty 2080ti can't do 4k 60 on some games that are out NOW.
 
Can't wait for this. Hoping to get a special edition. Got the Day One Edition Xbox One and then the Scorpio One X.

That's what I don't want so I'm not forced to get one lol. They definitely got me with the Scorpio that way, especially calling it by the prototype name. I'd buy another Dreamcast called the Katana in a heartbeat lol.
