Rumor: The second generation of the next-generation Xbox may be more powerful than previously thought.

We all know that the next-generation flagship console from Microsoft will become Xbox Series X. But, according to rumors that have appeared on the network before, the platform holder is also developing a second model, less powerful, with a code name Lockhart. Her announcement has not yet taken place, but the latest information indicates that the development of the system may still continue.

Enthusiast with a nickname _rogame discovered AMD’s new unknown hybrid processor. According to him, the APUs were equipped with an eight-core Ryzen processor with a clock frequency of 4 GHz and 16 GB of memory shared between RAM and VRAM (12 GB and 4 GB, respectively). Information on the graphics core has not yet been disclosed.

_rogame assumes that the APU is either related to the next-generation console Xbox Series S / Lockhart or is this a new version Fireflight APUthat powered the Chinese game console Subor z +. But, since the team of Subor creators was disbanded in May last year, the option with APU for the future unannounced Microsoft non-prefix console seems more likely.

In addition, test scores were presented. 3Dmark 11 and Time spy. It must be said that they differ significantly. The first put the GPU at the GTX 980 level, while the second test was much better.

Closed assessment of the new APU from Time Spy:

• Overall rating – 7.1K

• Overall rating of the bundle Rx 5600M + 4800H – 5.4K

• The overall assessment of the bundle R9 3900X + OCed GTX 1660 Super – 7.3K

• Overall rating of the i9 9900K + OCed GTX 1660 Ti bundle – 7.5K

If the APU presented above is really related to the Xbox Series S / Lockhart non-x-ray console, then it will be more powerful than previously thought. Old rumors pointed out on performance in the area 4 teraflops. Time Spy closed rating puts GPU just below GPU performance RX 5600 XTwhich issues from 7 to 7.9 TFLOP. That is why the source mentions the name Xbox series s, because the Xbox Series X Seems more powerful prefix (performance is ~ 12 teraflops)

The launch of the next generation Xbox Series X console will take place before the end of this year. The release of any other model has not yet been confirmed.
