That processor isn't going anywhere on Microsoft's watch. Vacuum tubes, eat your heart out. Confirmed: Microsoft's next console has wires. Confirmed: Microsoft's next console uses electricity. Taking a closer look. Hot hot heat sink shots. That's a nice logo for a tentative name that won't even be referenced in two years… Which holiday? President's Day is a holiday…
LOS ANGELES—After an extremely brief tease at last year's E3 presentation, Microsoft revealed the first details of the successor to the Xbox One today, called "Project Scarlett" for now. The hardware will launch in the 2020 holiday season, the company said.
Much like the Playstation 4 successor first discussed earlier this year, reduced loading times are a major focus for Microsoft's next console hardware. The company said the system will sport high-bandwidth GDDR6 RAM, and a "new generation of SSD" will act as "virtual RAM," leading to "more than 40 times performance increases over the current generation" when it comes to data bus bandwidth. That means being able to "move through worlds without waiting for screnes to load," and the end of those long "fake elevator" scenes that hide loading on previous platforms.
