There are aspects of the Series X's SSD, memory and AMD Zen 2 CPU that all play a role in getting its custom Navi GPU to hit its 12 teraflops target, but there are still some intriguing hints to be teased out here, particularly when it comes to AMD's ray tracing chops.īut first, let's take a very brief look at the Series X's key specs. As you'll see from Digital Foundry's full Xbox Series X reveal, the Xbox Series X is no different. They're a different shape, have different cooling mechanisms and utilise several aspects of their unique console design to help them achieve their respective power targets. I should, of course, note that the GPU inside any given console box is quite different from the types of graphics card that go inside our PCs.

We've known for some time now that both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will be powered by the next generation of AMD Navi GPUs, but thanks to our friends at Digital Foundry who have just revealed the full spec of Microsoft's Xbox Series X console, we now have a much better idea of just how powerful they're going to be and what that means for their eventual PC equivalents - and if the Nvidia RTX 2080-levels of power inside Microsoft's new console is anything to go by, AMD could finally have a proper Nvidia killer on their hands come the end of the year.
