Microsoft’s “testing a variety” of new Xbox One prototypes

Microsoft’s “testing a variety” of new Xbox One prototypes – report

4.4

Sources familiar with the matter told The Verge prototypes being tested contain “upgraded components” similar to those which improve the “performance of a PC gaming rig.”

The report comes after FCC filings popped up last week suggesting Microsoft was possibly working on two new Xbox One models. One of which is assumed to be a slim model.

Since the FCC documents were discovered, the Brazilian equivalent of the FCC, Anatel, has posted an image of the new Xbox One wireless chipset mentioned in the FCC documents under NDA until June 25 (via NeoGAF).

The image shows chipset model 1683, and the FCC NDA expires the week after E3 2016, leading many to believe a new Xbox One model will be announced during Microsoft’s press conference.

With all the rumors swirling around PS4.5/PlayStation 4K, or codename Neo if you will, and now Xbox One, this could be a very interesting E3. If it’s all true.

Dil All the speculation is not worth paying interest into in my opinion with E3 being just around the corner. I just hope these "upgraded components" will let me play Onigiri at more than 10fps :^)

Hopefully they will implement an dedicated chip (probably a micro 360 cpu+gpu) for the new model that allows 360 games to be emulated at original speed/quality.

That would be great, cause with their emulation software it's pretty ridiculous games that are almost 7 years old can't run at a stable 30FPS sometimes, such as Halo: Reach on BC launch.

I would like to see what would change.. They cant do too much, it would surely just anger people that have just bought the normal version.
