The year of the next-gen console is upon us, and Phil Spencer is starting it off right: the Xbox head has changed his Twitter avatar to a picture of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X processor. Ultimate flex.
There's not too much we can glean from this picture, but here's what we do know: As you can see above, 8K is clearly emblazoned on this bad boy, which tracks with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's claim that the upcoming console can output at resolutions with quadruple the pixels of the 4K Xbox One X. Whether or n🌌ot the general public will have 8K displays readily available to them is a different story, but in the next-gen console race, it's good to see Xbox is ready to deliver. Th🌠ere's also a QR code (you can't scan it, I tried), as well as the faintest etching of the Xbox logo in the top left corner.
But perhaps the most interesting thing we've learned from Phil Spencer's new Twitter pic is that the CPU is labelled Project Scarlett. I have so many questions... is this another example of Microsoft's odd brand messaging? As GamesRadar+澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: previously reported, the Xbox Series X is only one of Microsoft's next-gen consoles, and it's technically just called Xbox - the 'Series X' simply denotes the model type. Or is this picture merely showing an older model CPU, like the one for the system that Phil Spencer is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:reportedly using at home?
Also, why is this processor so dang thicc? 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:As previously reported, Spencer recently discussed a Digital Foundry article discussing the console's design. That implies the console's massive processing power necessitated some serio🐽us upgrades when it came to cooling - hence why the console is so chonky. Thicc CPU inside of a chonky case? I guess it makes sense.
