The Redmond giant launched the Xbox Series console yesterday superior to the original.

Microsoft doesn’t plan to directly compete with the PS5 Pro because I don’t think it’s necessary launch the intergenerational recovery, that is, the Xbox Series

The Xbox series

To understand the improvements that the new model brings, it is necessary to make an exhaustive comparison of the two consoles. The Xbox series optical mechanics and uses a custom AMD SoC built on 7nm from TSMC.

The Xbox Series X All Digital keeps the same design and uses the same format, but is finished in white. It does not have an optical drive and does not give the possibility to integrate the aforementioned unit, if we decide to use it there will be no turning backwe will only be able to use the games in digital format.

The first improvement this console brings is found in the SoC. The Xbox Series X All Digital has the same specs as the original model on a hardware level, but its SoC It is manufactured on TSMC’s 6nm nodewhich translates into lower energy consumption and cooler operation.

This new SoC consumes 38 watts in basic usage, while the original console clocks in at 61 watts. Playing Forza Horizon 5, consumption on Xbox Series Average 167 wattsand the digital version registers the average 156 watts. The reduction in consumption achieved by Microsoft is enough to change the cooling system, which stops using the vapor chamber system to adopt a traditional cooler. This allows you to reduce costs as you may have imagined.

Internally, it presents other relevant changes, such as the removal of the connector for the optical drive and the removal of the metal protections located on the back, directly in the retention area of ​​the cooling system anchored to the motherboard and on the unit. SSD. Also Xbox Series X All Digital is lighterbecause it has weight 3.6 kilogramsi.e. 600 grams less than the original model.

Xbox series Although these two new models use an inferior cooling system They are not noisier or run at a higher temperature.
