The Xbox Series X console will be a powerful console, several times more than the hardware configuration of today's game consoles, but what does it mean for PC gaming enthusiasts? Last week, Microsoft announced a batch of hardware configuration information that allows We make some comparisons and guesses.

The Xbox Series X will be equipped with AMD Zen 2 CPU and NVME SSD hard drive, which can greatly reduce the loading time of the game, and the most important AMD RDNA2 graphics card is higher-end hardware than the current mainstream PC configuration, with 12TF of computing power, is Xbox One X doubles, PS4 Pro triples.

It can be said that the next-generation host is a big leap in hardware, and if a PC is assembled with the same parameters, an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card is about 300 to 400 US dollars, and the operation effect is still very good. It is difficult to guarantee 4K 60fps picture. This level of graphics is the goal of Xbox Series X for most games.

It is worth noting that the next-generation host will provide the ray tracing technology RTX to make the light and shadow reflection in the game screen more real. At present, several games that support RTX technology have little improvement in graphics, but they have a great impact on operating efficiency. So AMD's modified RDNA architecture may bring new breakthroughs to RTX technology.

The price of the Xbox Seriex X is a very important factor, but considering the market positioning of the game console, the highest should not exceed $ 600. And recently there are rumors that Microsoft will provide another low-end version for the first time, does not support native 4K screen output, but the price is relatively cheap.

Of course, the Xbox Series X will not directly replace the gaming PC, after all, there are many games exclusive to the PC. But for most mainstream 3A masters, if you start with the Xbox Series X, you do n’t need to upgrade the PC hardware for a long time, because the game library basically overlaps, and the Xbox Series X can provide a better gaming experience. The PC will become a more pure code word office tool until the next update in the future.
