Performance & CPU / GPU

• Powered by an 8-core Custom AMD Zen 2 CPU at approximately 3.6 GHz (3.4 GHz with SMT).

• GPU is a custom RDNA 2 unit with 20 Compute Units (CUs) running at ~1.565 GHz, delivering ≈ 4 TFLOPS of graphics performance. Capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Resolution & Visuals

• Designed for 1440p gaming, with smooth frame rates up to 120 fps where supported.

• Supports upscale to 4K for compatible displays, and includes features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode, and HDMI 2.1 in the output.

Memory, Storage & Speed

• 10 GB GDDR6 RAM total. 8 GB operates at higher bandwidth (~224 GB/s) for graphics; 2 GB at lower bandwidth for system functions.

• Internal storage via custom NVMe SSD: typically 512 GB in many models; also available in 1 TB variants.

• Ultra-fast input-output speeds: ~2.4 GB/s (raw) and higher via compressed with hardware decompression. Speeds help in shorter load times, quicker resume, etc.

Connectivity & Ports

• 1× HDMI 2.1 (“HDMI Out”) port for modern 4K/120Hz TVs / displays.

• 3× USB 3.1 Gen1 ports.

• Dual-band WiFi (802.11ac) + Gigabit Ethernet.

Features & Gamers’ Perks

• All-digital console: no disk drive. All games must be downloaded / accessed via Game Pass or Microsoft Store.

• Quick Resume: switch between multiple games nearly instantly.

• Backward compatibility: plays thousands of older Xbox One / Xbox 360 / original Xbox titles, many with improved performance and visuals.

Design & Size

• Compact footprint: approx 151 mm × 65 mm × 275 mm (Width × Height × Depth).

• Lightweight: around 1.93 kg (≈ 4.25 lbs).

Considerations:

• Digital only: no disc drive means you must download/buy digitally; physical games & DVDs/Blu-Rays are not supported.

• Storage space can fill up fast with large games; expansion cards / external storage are a must for heavy users.

• Lower resolution / graphical power compared to Xbox Series X (less able to maintain native 4K for demanding titles).
