Xbox Scarlett Is 4x More Powerful Than Xbox One X

4.1
How powerful is the Xbox Scarlett? We don't know. According to a new rumor, it's not as powerful as the PlayStation 5. But whether this is true or not, who knows. That said what we do know, straight from the mouth of Microsoft, is that Xbox Scarlett is 4x more powerful than the Xbox One X (from a pure processing perspective), the current most powerful console in the world. Of course, this is a pretty vague benchmark, but it's an impressive one nonetheless.

As you will know, we don't know much about the Xbox Scarlett's capabilities. We know it's capable of 8K and 120fps. We know it has a SSD and some AMD-powered innards. We also know there's variable frame rate, next-gen ray tracing, and most importantly it will be backwards compatible with every previous Xbox console. Lastly, we know it's releasing sometime holiday 2020. And that's about all we know.

It's also worth pointing out that the Xbox Scarlett is 4x more powerful than the Xbox One X, which is multiple times more powerful than the Xbox One. In other words, the jump from the basic Xbox One is even bigger.

Microsoft also recently confirmed that the next Xbox will have a disc drive, despite it really pushing the streaming future of gaming. The PS5 will as well, so if you're a gamer who likes your physical copies of games, you'll be happy to know that isn't going anywhere next generation.

As for when we can expect to hear more about the Xbox Scarlett, who knows. Microsoft hasn't said when it will talk about the console more, but, presumably, we'll have to wait until next E3. Of course, some details here and there may trickle out, but the next meaty dialogue about the system, including a presentation of it running games and a hardware reveal, will likely be reserved for E3 2020.

THQ This just doesn't excite me like seeing the jump from the 360 to Xbox one. I just don't understand how anything different is really going to jump out at a 500$ cost


Techonlogy that has advanced since the xbox one should make it jump out at 500$, games will finally be able to be native 1080p or 4k without a problem the xbox one struggled with that on some games.
Games will finally have a stable frame rate and possibly goto 120fps, this gen has struggled alot with that.
Finally be able to load games quick i have probably spent hours looking at gta and fortnite loading screens, so im excited for this new console and it should be around 18x more powerful than the xbox one i think idk tho the one x was 4.5 times more powerful than the one and scarlett is 4x faster than the x so i just done 4.5 x 4 im not sure if thats how it works but if it is it sounds like a huge leap to me for the price of it i really cant wait.

Regardless if it is or isn't as powerful as the "PS5" for a die-hard Xbox player this is huge news!
