Xbox One in 'full production'; CPU boost confirmed

4.5

Xbox One is currently in 'full production' following a last minute CPU tweak, a Microsoft exec has confirmed.

Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference, Xbox chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi confirmed the console is currently in its production stage.

He also revealed the company has improved the console's CPU from 1.6 GHz to 1.75 GHz, according to Geekwire.

Mehdi's comments follow similar news from Xbox One chief product officer Marc Whitten last month, who confirmed that the company has increased the console's GPU clock speed by 6.6 per cent.

Microsoft has yet to announce a specific release date for the Xbox One beyond a vague November launch window. In the case of eight European countries, the console won't release until 2014.

Meanwhile, a recent terms and conditions document for an upcoming PepsiCo promo campaign suggests the console will release 'late November'.

Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb recently responded to claims the console has been rushed, insisting every Xbox One booth at Gamescom was running on final Xbox One hardware

Not really a big difference, hope that it works faster than the Xbox 360 and doesn't freeze constantly.

Wokze That's good news, happy there's a CPU boost

A boost in power is always better for a console, i'm glad that they have decided to do this, hopefully it improves the gaming experience all around

slapshot101 What happens to all the consoles that were already produced? Do they just not get the CPU speed increase, that would really suck for all of the people who got the ones who didn't get the CPU boost. They weren't in full production before? They could have made even more sales because they would have had more consoles available for pre-order.

That's a good question lol, I honestly don't know.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

TTGxExecutive Is that a big difference or no? I'm not very educated in that field.

Not really, nothing getting to excited for.

Same, I don't really care about the "boosts", I'll just see how it plays once I get it.

It's not massive, I think they done it to bump it up for the GPU since that got an increase (53mhz) its not much but the CPU has to keep up with the cookie monster, that thing goes through cookies like mad!
