Microsoft recently gave some reporters from the website Digital Foundry a sneak peek under the hood at XBox Scorpio, the codenamed souped-up version of the XBox One that’s supposed to retail this fall. XBox has sworn up and down that this console will stomp the competition into the dirt tech-wise. Will it be worth a purchase? Here’s what we found out…. The Scorpio’s CPU boasts eight custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz, and a GPU crammed with 40 Radeon compute units rolling at 1172 MHz. It can give a performance boost to any existing XBox One game and it will be able to run the compatible 360 games as well. Scorpio has 6 teraflops of processing power and a memory bandwidth of 320 gigs a second. It also has 12 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 1 TB 2.5-inch hard drive, and for the cherry on the sundae, a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive. What the Scorpio won’t do is act nice with your wallet. All this power is projected

Project Scorpio, the next console from Microsoft, is not only billed as being the most powerful console of all time, but many within Microsoft have stated that it will bring an “end to console generations”. Likely meaning that Scorpio will just be upgraded within itself rather than having a brand new console. However, Xbox Boss Phil Spencer has said its not that simple: “I don’t have this desire to every two years have a new console on the shelf”, he explained to Game Informer. “That’s not part of the console business model, and it doesn’t actually help us. The best customer I have is somebody who buys the original Xbox and just buys all the games. That’s the best customer for us in terms of the pure financials of it […] I’m not trying to turn consoles into the graphics card market.” He also noted that while Microsoft is looking beyond Scorpio for its next console, they aren’t sure what it would be right now: “To be completely honest, I

With the reveal of Project Scorpio, and its desire to be the “most powerful console ever”. Many are wondering if this will start a trend of updating, and even releasing, consoles more frequently. Xbox Boss Phil Spencer put a stop to this in an interview with WIRED: “We’re not on a hardware tick-tock that says I need to put out a console every two years or every one year to get people to upgrade. That’s not the console model,” Spencer told WIRED in an interview at E3. Instead, the company is “trying to think beyond generations” He did note however that they want Scorpio and all their products to work with virtual reality: “When we went out and talked to VR developers, the capability and the hardware spec that they need to deliver a console-like experience to VR was a requirement of 6 teraflops, which clearly, today’s consoles—PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—don’t have,” he said, suggesting the current PS4 isn’t well suited for VR. Scorpio is set to release next

The much-discussed upgraded version of the Xbox One, known as Project Scorpio, has been confirmed by Microsoft during their E3 media briefing earlier today. Phil Spencer spoke about the new model at the end of the conference, explaining that he believes it will be the most powerful console ever built when it launches in fall 2017. The power upgrade that Project Scorpio is getting has been primarily put in place to support 4K gaming and virtual reality technology. It also means that games will be able to run at 60 frames per second without having to sacrifice resolution, largely thanks to the six teraflops of processing power that the new console will come with. “The important thing for Scorpio is that it’s a dramatic step up for us in terms of hardware capability,” he said during the briefing. “Because as we saw 4K gaming and really high-end VR taking off in the PC space, we wanted to be able to bring that to the console. Project Scorpio is actually an
