The new Xbox is expected to hit shelves on November 7 in time for the holidays.
Microsoft has finally revealed the much anticipated Xbox One X, formerly Project Scorpio, for $499. The console is expected to be released on November 7, in time for the holiday rush.
The specs, which were unveiled back in April, include eight custom x86 cores, clocked at 2.3 GHz, compared to 1.75GHz for the original Xbox One. The much larger jump comes to the GPU, with 40 compute units at 1172MHz, as compared to just 12 units (853MHz) in the original. It also boasts12GB GDDR5, up from 8GB on XBO. Memory Bandwidth is 326GB/s versus 204-219GB/s on the Xbox One.
The GPU can hit 4K resolution at a smooth 60FPS, with about 88% GPU utilization. It will have liquid cooled vapor chamber cooling, and the smallest form factor of any previous Xbox.
The unit is expected to cost $499, although MS did not officially confirm the price.

AND WITH A BAD PRICE FOR A CONSOLE
shit, I don't care what performance it has and how many gremlins they managed to put inside, $499 it way to much for a console, I been pretty supportive of microsoft console endeavour since the start (well I didn't buy the orginal XBOX at the laughable launch price €480, only once the price went down) I bought every generation of their console, as a side note I did buy both a PS3 and a PS4 to my sons and borrowed to play some great playstation exclusives, but personally stayed very loyal (and to minimize expenditure) to keeping a single brand of console for my personal playing. I was waiting for this launch to see where they are going and feel they went full retard, sorry, you never go full retard. At that price I'm definitely are going for a PS4-pro instead. $100 cheaper and many more enticing exclusives, and I don't even have a 4k TV yet so I couldn't care less of that 'feature'. I only want great games with pretty pixels, not many uglier pixels. -
