I think the coherency fabric blocks have significant caches based on the die shot.

I was speaking as somebody who has programmed both in anger.

I don't know what those are. Any idea of what they are?

They’re for coherency.
Non-smart ass answer is I’m not sure. Coherent means that various parts of the SoC are mapped to the same memory addresses and data. This would also ensure they don’t have stale copies of data.
Given there are 10 on each side, I’m guessing they’re some kind of queue for the GDDR6 interfaces (20 total 16 bit interfaces with the way GDDR6 is broken down). Whether these are just copies of what’s in local caches for the CPU or GPU, or can serve as a last level global cache, I’m not sure.
Looks like to be about 2-4MiB for each block.

- More CU is bad for developers
- Audio chip is bad
- RAM setup is bad

This is HUGE. Then you look at it next to PS5.
Rechecked the Series X dimensions earlier and it will fit comfortably in my media centre. It won't have any power, but it will fit!

I don't particularly like the plain face of the XBSX. I think it would be nicer looking if it had some sort of microtexturing like microdotting to that giant plain slab surface.
It will probably be the easiest console in history to add stick on skins to. I guarantee someone makes a bacon skin for it within the first year.

Stick on skins are great for limited editions but for people who have zero interest in skinned consoles like myself, it's kinda sad looking. Something like the Scorpio Edition would be nice to have. I actually like the round holes on the back half of the fridge.
I'm a minimalist i guess when it comes to furniture and what not but in all honesty i can't really see the diffrence between this or other xbox platforms or the ps3/4 .
They all go into my entertainment and i like them to melt away into it
This is cool

The little details makes all the difference. See those microdots on the front panel and small holes on the side. The Series X is just plain boring flat surface on front and sides. Also it would look better if the design was divided like this.

I mean i had one of those. From where i sit in my living room i couldn't actually see those details. That's why to me the x is fine. Maybe if it was on my office desk or right under the tv it be a bit diffrent. But I still don't think it would actually matter to me
I think the reasoning behind the blandness is 2 fold:
- Cheap to make & simplifies manufacturing. This allows them to hit a low price.
- Open canvas to give users a means to skin it how they want. I thought they may want to open it up to Design Labs, but I think they will stay with vinyl skins instead.
