![]() The Xbox Series X is not only generally cooler than its predecessors, but also quieter. I reviewed the Xbox Series X initially in the winter months of the UK, but even in the summer I don't find the Xbox Series X getting unmanageably warm in an unconditioned room. ![]() The craftsmanship and engineering prowess here is undeniable. Microsoft built the Xbox Series X to direct air from one end and out of the other, expelling warm air from the concave vent at the system's top end. NVME storage may get pretty toasty, but thankfully, the Xbox Series X itself doesn't. Xbox Series X is the best console Microsoft has ever built. Taking your games, saves, and Xbox Live profile to a friend's place has never been easier, but that price is going to be a tough sell for most. And the fact the cards are hot-swappable is also pretty awesome. ![]() The cards are certainly easier to manage than typical NVME m2 drives we get for laptops. Thankfully, they have thick plastic handles for removal and insertion. The metal parts of the cards do get incredibly warm (as NVME storage would inside your laptop as well). The cards themselves are small and well built, and Microsoft says other manufacturers will offer competing solutions, which should bring the price down. The next-gen consoles use NVME SSD storage not only to speed up loading times but also to give developers more next-gen tools. Speaking of ports, Microsoft opted for a proprietary tech solution to expandable storage, in the form of the $220 Seagate 1TB NVME Expansion Card. The reality of thermodynamics is catching up to console design as PCs push ever-increasing power, the form factor of consoles also changed to accommodate necessary cooling technology. Not too long after, we learned that the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series X's main competition, sports a similar volume. When the Xbox Series X design was first revealed, people were immediately shocked by its apparent size. 8 cores 3.8GHz (3.66GHz w/ SMT) custom Zen 2 CPUġ2.155 TFLOPS, 52 CUs 1.825GHz RDNA 2 GPUĢ.4GB/s (raw), 4.8GB/s (compressed, with custom hardware decompression block)ĤK UHD Blu-ray drive (No 3D Blu-ray support)ĤK 60 FPS, up to 4K 120 FPS, 8K 60 FPS
