Xbox Series S [XBSS] (Lockhart) General Rumors and Speculation *spawn*

[Strange]

Four memory chips, so we're looking at 128bit GDDR6?

CPU 3.6GHz SMT Off / 3.4GHz SMT On
GPU: at 6m29s - "The Xbox Series S is more than 4x as powerful as the Xbox One S". So with RDNA >> GCN IPC, I guess 4TFLOPs is pretty much confirmed.
10GB GDDR6, 224GB/s. -> looks like 128bit GDDR6, probably 3x 16Gb chips and 1x 32Gb chip, meaning 8 GB get the full 224GB/s bandwidth whereas the last 2GB get 56GB/s.



They keep claiming the Series S is a console that runs SeriesX games at 1440p instead of native 4K.
It does seem there will be some pressure on devs to put all games running at native 4K on the SeriesX..

Yes it's confirmed. Both 4TF, and the odd 10GB memory

Funny thing is we have stated all along that 6TF for Xbox X is approximately equal 4TF for Xbox SS. Got a lot of flak for it, and now we have official confirmation that it's exactly what they did.
They essentially said 1.3TF *4 = 5.3 last gen TF < 4TF new gen, which is in the same ballpark as the Xbox One X, since if they could do 5 times to hit 6.5TF you can be sure they'd state that. So if the One X has trouble hitting 1440p, be sure to expect the SS to do the same.

Didnt work like that last time, double the one x got 12.2TF. Over 4 times one s, where do we land? Close to 6TF?

Edit: oh ok 4TF rdna2, if that is confirmed.

So I guess this thread has run its course. There's no more speculation to be had.
Why did the other thread get locked?

It was initially locked while none of the technical aspects were confirmed. It should have been unlocked today. Let me make sure it's unlocked again.

Let the technical discussion be had in the Series S technical thread: https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/xbox-series-s-xbss-release-november-10-2020.61988/

every time companies explains their codenames makes me things the marketing people think of that meaning and put that retroactively. or it was really the original reason in the original development
