Xbox One 12GB RAM upgrade debunked by Microsoft

4.7
Xbox One isn’t getting a RAM upgrade form 8GB to 12GB, Microsoft’s product planning manager Albert Penello has confirmed.

The rumours started after Penello took to NeoGAF to discuss the Xbox One’s specs last month. He wrote, “I would like to pose this question to the audience. There are several months until the consoles launch, and [as] any student of the industry will remember, specs change.

“Given the rumored specs for both systems, can anyone conceive of a circumstance or decision one platform holder could make, where despite the theoretical performance benchmarks of the components, the box that appears “weaker” could actually be more powerful?

“I believe the debate on this could give some light to why we don’t want to engage in a specification debate until both boxes are final and shipping.”

The rumours started to fly, but Penello has now debunked the whole lot on Twitter.

slapshot101 The did end up upgrading the CPU to 1.75 HGz which should provide for a faster console even though they claimed they were done and they said they liked the performance of it, apparently not.


Microsoft will keep changing what they said.

It's definitely not need, until insanely huge and real games start coming out.

Mortar 8GB of RAM is more than sufficient for the Xbox One, and if Microsoft say so, then I am sure they're making the right decision.


Well the more the better but 8 is enough.


I have to agree with Utilities there!
