Microsoft Officially Reveals First Look At Their Next-Generation Console — Xbox Series X

Microsoft has officially unveiled their next-generation console and the design is interestingly evocative of a PC. Project Scarlett will no longer be referred to as such but rather as Xbox Series X.

During The Game Awards 2019, Microsoft officially revealed their next-generation console to the world. Finally, we know the name of the next Xbox console as well as what it will look like. What was previously known as Project Scarlett will henceforth be referred to as Xbox Series X. Though the name has changed, the release window remains that same — that being Holiday 2020.

Interestingly, the design is unlike any console in recent memory. Rather than being flat, the console is a tower. The design choice is likely supposed to evoke a PC — and the power of one. However, despite being placed upright in all of the promotional material, the Xbox Series X can reportedly be laid down on its side — therefore making it easier to slip into a home entertainment unit.

Xbox head Phil Spencer promises that the next-generation console will "deliver four times the processing power of the Xbox One X in the most quiet and efficient way." Microsoft used Senua's Saga: Hellblade II to show off the Xbox Series X in action — as you can see below. However, no further specs were detailed beyond that which we already knew.

 
In an interview with Gamespot, Spencer teased the GPU power of the Xbox Series X without revealing specific numbers. “We wanted to have a dramatic upgrade from the Xbox One base console," Spencer told the site. "So when we do the math, we’re over eight times the GPU power of the Xbox One, and two times what an Xbox One X is.” 

Figuring it out ourselves; the Xbox One X is capable of six teraflops of GPU performance, meaning that the Xbox Series X should be capable of twelve. We'll be sure to update you as more specs and information to do with the Xbox Series X are revealed.
