During its Consumer Electronics Show (CES) keynote, AMD used a render of Microsoft‘s Xbox Series X console that wasn’t from an official source…

„The Xbox Series X imagery used during the AMD CES press conference was not sourced from Microsoft and does not accurately represent the design or features of the upcoming console. They were taken from TurboSquid.com,” AMD told The Verge in a statement. Let’s see the image/GIF to see what ports the rendered console has, but take it with a grain of salt, please!

Two USB-C and HDMI ports (one in, one out, possibly) can be seen on the rendered console’s back, but there’s also an Ethernet port to hook your console to the Internet without WiFi, and the power supply connector seems to be a two-pin one, meaning you wouldn’t have to plug a brick into a socket, as the Xbox Series X could have an internal power supply. There’s also a USB port in the front to potentially charge your controller, too. Once again, this render is NOT official, as AMD has denied the credibility of it. Still, it puts the company in a bad light, especially how they are providing the CPU and GPU for both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X.

Meanwhile, David Prien, the senior hardware director of Xbox, shared an image on Twitter, showing seven Xbox Series X APUs. (APU is the accelerated processing unit term in short. AMD’s technology, formerly called Fusion, puts a GPU and a CPU on a single die, meaning the graphics and the processor is under one „roof.”) Why seven? Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, changed his profile picture on the bird social media to an Xbox Series X APU, and Prien responded to it with a joke: „Guess Phil found my missing piece!” According to WCCFTech, the Xbox Series X APU, which will contain an AMD Ryzen Zen 2-based CPU and a Radeon Navi GPU, is 11% bigger than the Xbox One’s APU. DigitalFoundry believes its computing performance will be 12 TFLOPS. (And we see the Project Scarlett text, too!)

Last but not least, let’s talk about the slogan of the Xbox Series X because Microsoft has trademarked it on December 31. It’s „Power Your Dreams,” which is not as egoistic as the Xbox One X’s „The World’s Most Powerful Console” was. (And the Xbox One had „Jump Ahead.”)

Az Xbox Series X valamikor év végén megjelenik meg.
