Technical specifications of Xbox One X
During the Xbox press announcement, Microsoft has said that Xbox One X is the smallest, most powerful console they've ever made. And we can't argue with that because the gaming console boasts an Octa-core processor running at 1172 MHz with 12GB of GDDR5 RAM (9GB are dedicated to games for a smooth gameplay).
Xbox One X also features 6 teraflops of graphical power to provide gamers with a unique, true native 4K gameplay at 60fps. The gaming console will also allow for streaming and recording of game clips in 4K. As for the storage options, the basic model appears to come with no less than 1TB of disk space on it.
For maximum efficiency, the Xbox One X gaming console also features Liquid-cooled Vapor Chamber, HDR support, Dolby Atmos support, and a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive. Best of all, Xbox One X will be backward compatible with all games and accessories that you're currently playing/using on your Xbox One S and Xbox One.
It also appears that Xbox One X supports existing libraries of games that are backward compatible with the Xbox 360 gaming console, and provides visual improvements and faster load times to many Xbox One games on 1080p TVs. The company says that Xbox One X will launch along with 42 new games. Microsoft Xbox One X's price starts at $499 USD.
