Microsoft continues to add fuel to the fire, fueling gamers' interest in the Xbox Series X. In a new blog post
What is known
The company has confirmed that the Xbox SeriesX is based on a custom Zen 2 processor, while the graphics chip is based on the RDNA 2 architecture. The hardware allowed Microsoft to achieve 12 teraflops of power, which is twice as powerful as the Xbox One X and eight times as powerful as the Xbox One.
However, the company concentrated not onlyon the technical part of the console, but also on the software part. Thus, Xbox Series X will receive Variable Rate Shading, which distributes graphics chip resources to render objects in the player’s field of view. According to Microsoft, the technology will improve gaming performance and increase frame rates without degrading images.
They will also bring hardware DirectX Raytracing, which is also used in PlayStation 5, the main competitor of the Xbox Series X.

The Microsoft console will also receive a fast SSD,which will allow users to hold two games in memory and instantly switch between them. In addition, with Dynamic Latency Input, engineers increase control responsiveness by reducing the response time of the wireless controller.
A feature of the Xbox Series X will also be Smart Delivery.which will install only the required version of the game on the user’s console. For example, having purchased Halo Infinite for Xbox One, the version specifically for this console will be downloaded to the console, and not the universal one, which will then adapt the graphics to the hardware. This feature will work with all Microsoft exclusives and will also be available to third party developers.
