Microsoft Shares New Info On The New Xbox

after Sony informed that the new Playstation arrives soon, it’s Microsoft turn to share some new details about their gaming console.

The Xbox Series X will arrive in the holidays (along with the PlayStation), but until then, both companies revealed new info –

Extremely High Performances –

Microsoft shared the full specs of the Series X –

This machine will cast games at 4K @ 60 FPS, up to 120 FPS and will support the RayTracing technology that present light effects for more realistic pictures.

The usage of SSD hard-drive is one of the main reasons that the console’s performances at the demo – 40 second difference in loading time between Xbox One and Series X.

Microsoft shared a new feature called Xbox Velocity Architecture which combine hardware and software architecture and allows games to get the resources they need fast. Now developers can skip long cut scenes to load the next chapter of the game.

The controller is going to change as well – the controllers will fit the hand of an 8-year-old but it won’t worsen the gaming experience of someone with big hands. The controllers will be charged with USB type C.

We will be able to expand the memory of the console. Don’t get to excited because these special hard drives will cost about $200, so we will have to be very careful about it.

On October 2nd the giant tech company, Microsoft, will hold a big event that will be streamed live, which is already unusual for Microsoft.

Sources and rumors tell that it might be one of the most important events the company had in years.

 We hope Microsoft will share more than just the new Surface computers.

We will probably see new models for the successful surface computers such as Surface Pro 7, Surface Book 3 and Surface Laptop 3.

Microsoft might share new details about the “Project Centaurus” – small folding laptop based on a new operation system called Windows Core OS.

There is a possibility than Microsoft will also share details about a secret project called ‘Andromeda’ – cell phone \ tiny computer based on Core OS.

This operation system is source for all the rumors due to the fact that it intended for devices that needs light OS, good battery usage and that can keep active and connected to the internet all day long, even if the device is not in use.

According to sources, Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO will attend the event – very promising.
