New rumors arrive around the Xbox Series S, which has the code name of Lockhart. According to the latest rumors, coming from Tom goods, a journalist for The Verge, the Xbox Series S would finally arrive with 7.5 GB of usable RAM, and while the expected performance of the GPU is maintained, 4 TFLOPs, Regarding the CPU, it is indicated that the expected AMD Ryzen processor would arrive with lower lap frequencies, which translates into less energy consumption and therefore more facilities for its dissipation, so the console can have a More compact design thanks to the fact that the graphics has also received a big cut in terms of performance.
While the Xbox Series X is focused on 4K games, the Xbox Series S will seek to offer stable 1080p @ 60 FPS or increase the resolution to 2K @ 30 FPS, thus allowing a higher visual quality in exchange for a “cinematic” gaming experience.
In essence these rumors do not give any new details that we did not know beyond the amount of RAM, since this console should perform like a PlayStation 4 Proalthough expected that makes use of an SSD to reduce or eliminate loading times in optimized games. To this is added to offer a much more affordable price for those who can not aspire to the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5, thus accessing a market not exploited by Sony that, although the price of the PlayStation 4 Pro falls significantly, the Microsoft console will have great appeal SSDs and longer life when purchasing the console.
If the rumors are true, the Xbox Series S would be announced next July in the event that Xbox has prepared.
I’ve been reporting on Xbox Lockhart having a slightly underclocked CPU, but I now believe it’s the same speed as Series X. Just different GPU frequencies and CU counts ????
