After a long wait, Sony finally unveils the PlayStation 5

Today it is recorded in the history of technology, it is the day when Sony unveiled a device that was usually talked about from the fabric of imagination, so no one mentioned playstation 5, and our thinking was heading to something close to the spacecraft, but you know .. we were not wrong! Sony finally unveiled it and at first sight it is really coming from the future! Learn about us with the new masterpiece of the Japanese giant: PlayStation 5.

Design - this is the “future of games” as described by Sony

Sony has designed its new playstation 5 in a unique style, as it does not resemble in any way its previous devices, and perhaps the reason for this complete change in the design language is the long period in which the company was available to do the design and manufacture of the device in it, as Sony was strict Very much to keep its secrets, we did not see any leak about the device, but all the pictures were just imaginary designs for the new device, but frankly, the company has overcome these designs and reflected the scales, the design seems to come from the future.

The device can be placed vertically or horizontally as the company designed a stand base that we can fix for both cases, until now Sony has only revealed the white color of the device, while for the control arm it has also been completely redesigned as the company named it "DualSense Controller" to be the new generation From the PlayStation Series controller.

What's new in the joystick?

The new design of the control arm brought it closer to the form of its competitor from Xbox, which is a logical reason because it is more comfortable in the hand grip, and with a beautiful mix of white and black the arm comes to us with the same beauty of the device itself, but the design is not the only change that the company presented, it comes with great changes from the inside Also where the feature “haptic feedback - haptic response” has been revealed, which, according to the company’s description, will allow players to feel the game experience physically, such as the off-road driving experience, for example, Sony has replaced the old rumble technology with this completely new technology, Sony also added a feature New for the first time under the name "adaptive triggers" and it gives the R2 and L2 buttons the ability to show resistance against pressure on it. For example, when you tighten the bow to shed an arrow you will feel resistance from these two buttons and therefore it is a feature that helps to improve the different gaming experience.

Also, for the first time, an internal microphone was added to the joystick, in addition to a USB-Type C input, and the name of the “share” button was changed to “create”, which is supposed to share the gaming content.

Are gaming computers competing in terms of hardware and architecture?

It is known that there is an eternal war between the Playstation devices and next to this competition there is a bigger competitor that is difficult to overcome, gaming computers, and for this Sony has had to provide its best, in fact, the specifications of the playstation 5 was officially mentioned by the company before its launch to the public For months, the device will be powered by AMD Zen 2 Octa Core CPU and AMD RDNA 2 dedicated GPU, these AMD processors will save 10.28 teraflops of energy using variable frequencies on both processors, Sony also uses an internal hard type SSD which will make a clear difference in the speed of opening and reducing game loading time, the 825GB hard drive will come with theft of data transfer up to 5.5GB / s, the company stressed the importance of downloading games to the internal hard to take advantage of the mentioned reading speed.

Epic Games recently posted recorded footage from the playstation 5 showing how the graphics formed on the new Unreal 5 technology, we saw in these clips 8K cinematic scenes and dynamic lighting effects, also supports playback of 4K graphics at a frequency of 120Hz, also supports 3D sound technology.

Two versions of the Playstation 5: the digital version and the regular version
Playstation 5 comes in two versions to diversify the price category, as there is the regular version and the digital version and the difference between them is the entry of the cylinders, the digital version comes without it, and although the company never officially spoke about prices, but we expect the digital version to be significantly cheaper.

Large assortment of different accessories
All accessories compatible with the Playstation 5
Sony has made available a number of different accessories for the Playstation 5 devices. These accessories are as follows:

DualSense charging dock
New HD camera
Wireless headphone with Pulse 3D technology
Remote control for media
The company did not specify the prices of any of these accessories, nor did it mention whether it will be provided with the device, and only disclosed them Qeft.

Exclusives provided by the company
Offering exclusives is something Sony used to do and even excel in. Many great games are exclusives for its devices like The Last of Us and Uncharted Series, for example, and this time, too, Sony provided a lot of excels we tell you.

VR You Can Use ANYWHERE

- Hey guys, this is Austin. I might not have a voice today, but what I do have is the Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream. Do you see what I did there? This is a very different way of doing VR, and this is a very different way for me to talk in my videos, 'cause I'm sick. Of course, a huge shout out to Lenovo for sponsoring this video. What makes the Mirage Solo a little bit differentis this is a properly powerful untethered VR headset. Inside, you'll find a 2560x1440p 75Hz display. Now, that high resolution, especially paired with the high frame rate, is really key to making the VR experience feel natural. One of the main advantages to using the Mirage Solois that this is a fully standalone headset. I don't need to worry about my smartphone being plugged in and draining battery,and it's also a much smoother experience, largely due actually to the fact that it does have not only that high refresh rate display,but importantly it also does support WorldSense, so unlike most Daydream headsets which do rely on a little bit more of a limited bit of gyroscope to be able to place you in the world, we do have a full six degrees of freedom. What's really cool about thisis that you can literally use it anywhere. I mean, I'm in the middle of the parkand I could easily be playing a game, watching a movie. It really does give you a lot of possibilities. The Mirage Solo runs on Daydream, Google's VR ecosystem. Surprisingly, it actually works really well. You have most of the different apps and featuresthat you have on full Android, just available in a headset form. That means that we've got apps such as YouTube VR. Now this will give you a ton of different options, so if I jump in here, not only do we have full 360and 180-degree video, which looks great on the headset, but you can also watch the standard 2D video like this. The way that works is it literally looks likeI've just got a huge display in front of me, like a movie theater or something. So, thanks to Dead Trigger and a few zombie friends, I can show a little bit more of the performance of what you can actually expect out of the Mirage Solo. Inside, we have pretty decent specs, a Snapdragon 835 as well as four gigabytes of RAM. That's bad, that's bad! No, no, no, no! You should get three hours of battery life if you can survive the zombies that long, but there are a ton of games and apps that do work on the headset. It's not all about the Mirage Solo, though. There's also this little guy, the Lenovo Mirage Camera with Daydream. This is not a 360-degree camera. It uses a pair of fisheye lenses upfront to give you a 180-degree field of view, or as Google calls the format, VR180. This is a demo of what video looks likeon the Mirage Camera. One of the cool advantages of this format is that while you still get all of the advantages of VR, you still do get a very wide field of view, too. This is a full 180 degrees. What I like about this is that it gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to framing, so we can still have Ken behind the camera doing Ken things, but I can also pick up and very easily doa little bit of vlogging. The really cool part about this is that because it is so wide, I know that I can always get the shot, and specifically, if you do have a smartphone, you can actually scroll on the video if you watch the raw stuff, link in the description,but it's a really, really cool aspect and a really cool way of shooting you definitely don't get with any kind of standard camera. You can control the camera as well as play backthe photos and videos using the VR180 app. This is a little demo we took in the car a couple days ago. As you can see, what's really cool about the 180 formats is that specifically on a smartphone you can pinch in, you can zoom around, but you do get that full 180-degree field of view. The video is a lot more immersive when you're watching it in the headset, so it's kinda hard to give you a real demo without actually having one of your own, but it makes a huge difference, and because the camera will shoot at a full 4K resolution, we get those pixels all the way blown up. It makes a really big difference. I mean, I can see the detail on the gauges. I can see the terrified look on Ken's face. I can see Jay as he makes this tight corner, and, oh, oh, whoa, yeah! Oh, dude! That actually feels really goodif I spin the chair as I see myself turn in the car. It actually feels like I'm really there. If you've never properly experienced VRor maybe you've been turned off by cheap mobile VR, the Lenovo Mirage Solo and Camera are definitely worth a look, and of course, I'll have a link to check out both these guys in the description,so those of you who want more information, we'll have a bunch of other videos linked as well. 

Razer’s Cheap(er) Gaming Keyboard

- Hey guys, this is Austin. The last time Razer announced a brand new keyboard more than a few of you guys were interested in it. So when they announced a brand new keyboard, which is not only silent but also much cheaper, of course, we have to take a look at it. This is the Razer BlackWidow Lite keyboard. Now at 90 bucks, it's less than half the price of that Huntsman Elite, and with this, you're getting something a little bit more focused on normal use as well as gaming. Pop this guy open and we have the keyboard itself. Now, this is a little bit of a smaller one compared to the Elite, so it is a tenkeyless design, but personally I kind of don't mind that; I would rather have a little bit of extra space. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So on the box,, it says it has silent switches with included O-rings but I didn't think that the O-rings actually have to be manually installed. Okay, all right, this is not a super cheap keyboard it shouldn't be a surprise, but that decklid feels so sturdy. So we do have the detachable micro USB cable. Now, I would prefer to see this as USB-C but, honestly, I feel like that's still a nice little portable package. I guess we, it's time to remove the keys. I didn't realize I was signing up for a bunch of work with my keyboard here, so we do have our little key removal tool here. I'm not sure why this is included, I mean, maybe the feeling isn't quite as nice with the O-rings on. Let's pop it out for our WASD Keys. (upbeat music)Okay, so if I wrap the O-ring around the switch, I guess that works. Let's pop it back on and see. All right, so this is what a normal switch sounds like. (clicking)And the new one. (clicking lightly)I mean, it makes it a little bit quieter. I guess some people will probably want to install these. For me, I don't see a huge difference unless maybe I'm working in an office, so I really want to keep it as quiet as possible. (clicking)(clicking lightly)It's much quieter. This is how people type. (clacking)Spreadsheets. (clacking rapidly)Excel. (clacking rapidly)KPIs. (moaning) (clacking)Plug the BlackWidow in, and you'll see it's a little bit more of a subdued look. So it is all white LED lighting unlike the higher-end Razer models, which do have full RGB, but considering the price and considering that this is supposed to be a little bit more of a grown-up keyboard, that's no problem. Now, we do still have full Razer Synapse, so we can change the lighting if we like. So right now it's pretty much just dimming to brightening it. You can do the breathing effect, which is fine, but I mean, for the most part, it's either do you want it on or do you want it off. I will say the lights actually are really bright. This almost feels like it's maybe just as bright, if not even brighter, than some of the RGB stuff. So another keyboard that I really like is the TOMOKO. Now, this is a very, very cheap keyboard. It's got the blue knockoff switches, and at only $28, usually this has been my main recommendation for people who are wanting to get into mechanical switches, but if you listen to it (clacking loudly)versus, (clicking softly)I mean, there's a big, big difference in the noise there. What the hell? Wait, I lied. There's one RGB key; it's the Caps Lock. (clicking)Huh, okay, well I guess that's, is that RGB? It's just G. It's a G key, so for gaming it's fine but my main thing is I don't quite have that same kind of tactile feedback that I do on something that's a little bit more clicky, as the blue switches. I mean it's definitely usable, and I think some people actually might prefer something a little bit quieter when gaming, but for me, I don't know, it's a little bit on the, a little bit on the subtle side. we switched over to the Huntsman Elite keyboard. Well, I mean there's a reason why this is my favorite gaming keyboard out right now. First of all, it's got the sound, but almost more important than that, it's a little bit more of a tactile feel, so I click the button, I know that I've hit it, right? There's no sort of, I don't say, vagueness but it's not loose. It's all very, very tight, and it feels like I'm actually properly losing in Overwatch. That's my favorite thing is when I lose in Overwatch, are you serious right now? There you go. At $90, the Razer BlackWidow Lite is a little different than a lot of the mechanical keyboards I take a look at. Instead of being purely focused on gaming, this is a little bit more of subtle design, so it's got the white LED, the all matte black plastic, and on top of that, it's a very quiet keyboard. So you want something great for typing, the Lite is definitely worth a look. If you want something a little bit more focused on gaming though, there are definitely other options.

Intel’s Forgotten Future

- Hey guys, this is Austin. This little box might not look like much, but inside is one of the strangest stories in Intel's history. So this is the Intel NUC8i3CYSM. (bell ringing) Intel has been selling these little NUCs for quite a while, and some of them are pretty cool. Last year we took a look at the Skull Canyon NUC, which had a proper amount of gaming power in a tiny package. With a lowly Core i3 inside, this does not look nearly as impressive, and that's because it's not, at least on paper. So traditionally, Intel has used what is known as the tick-tock model, not to be confused with tick tock. The tick, tock. So essentially there are two different ways of building a new chip. First of all, you just start with the big stuff. The architecture of the things will actually legitimately make it faster year-on-year. Once you do that, the next iteration will just take that design and shrink it to a smaller process node. So if we get a little bit of Michael's Toys action, let me show what happened just a couple years ago. That is a really bad square even though I have a ruler. Anyway, to say that this is the previous generation. This would be 14 nanometer, which is pretty much what all single Intel processors use today. This strategy worked great until they hit the 10-nanometer node. Now, this is what the Cannon Lake chip inside is based on, and unfortunately, well, they hit some road bumps. So the advantage of going to smaller process nodes that you can cram more and more transistors into a smaller and smaller area. So if we have a quad-core processor, and this is very simplified, what you're getting here is basically the same number of cores but just in a smaller area, which means that not only is the chip either cheaper to produce you can actually fit more cores. So in theory, if you had a 10-nanometer chip which is the same size as the old one, it could be a six-core design as opposed to a quad-core one. So when I say 14 nanometer and 10 nanometer, what I'm referring to is the process technology used to actually build these chips. So think of it like this. If I'm trying to draw something really precise, it's the difference between using a Sharpie and a pen. It is a much finer-grained tool which I could be much more precise with. The smaller the tip, the more precise and the more stuff you can cram into these tiny, tiny little lines. This is absolutely key to the reason why computers have advanced over the last 50 years. Every time you get a smaller and smaller process node, it means you can get more densely pack it with transistors which can be spent on things like the CPU, the GPU. Really, this is absolutely the reason why things are 100 million times faster than they were in 1972. Now, the downside here is that the smaller and smaller you get, the more difficult it is to actually pack all these transistors. I mean, seriously, at a certain point, you hit the atomic level where just things don't really get much smaller. From 2006 to 2014, every two years, Intel was able to shrink the process over and over and over again. That is until 2014 where they hit a huge, huge wall. Now, this forced Intel to get very creative with their updates without the advantage of being able to constantly change their process. Instead, they did things like adding more CPU cores pretty much their entire lineup, which brings up to the Cannon Lake CPU inside this NUC. Now originally it was supposed to ship a 7th Generation part all the way back in 2016, but as you might imagine, things didn't quite go that smoothly. So why should anyone care about this little NUC?Because inside this is runningIntel's 10-nanometer Cannon Lake processor, and up until this point, it is the very first and only device that's shipped with it. So to compare, I have, well, maybe not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison. However, this is an Aspire E5, and it does have a very similarly-specced Core i3, just a 14-nanometer version as opposed to the 10-nanometer inside the NUC. Put these two side-by-side, and they're about as close as it gets. They're both dual-core processors, they both have Hyper-Threading. They both have a 2. 2 gigahertz base. Really, the only difference is that the laptop has a slightly higher turbo with 3. 4 versus 3. 2, but besides that, it's gonna be about, well, this is about as close as I can get a comparison. So first of all, let's start out with Geekbench. Now I'm not expecting any huge performance differences, but what's interesting about this is that the Cannon Lake chip insideis pretty much entirely undocumented. Now, yes, on the ark. intel site, you can see that it does confirm at least that it's 10 nanometer, but besides that, this is an entirely new CPU architecture which has basically never been talked about before. It's unusual because usually when Intel brings out a new series of chips,they're way more on top of talking aboutthe different specs and everything that they've done to improve it, but with this, it's like it was a weird half-step that they never actually really fully acknowledged?Okay, so very, very close. The NUC is very slightly quicker in single core,and a little bit quicker multi-core,but honestly, that's close enough that I would consider it to be basically a draw. Next, let's give Cinebench a try. In any case, it definitely does not look like cannon Lake is any kind of major improvements far as IPC goes. It's very, very close. So in this one, the laptop wins by a little bit,353 versus 331. I'm pretty sure that's entirely just that slightly higher turbo. I want to give a huge shout out to Ian from AnandTech for not only helping me research for this video,but also doing a terrific write-up all about the incredible saga that was Intel's 10-nanometer process. The fact that this is a product that is in my hand in 2019is kind of incredible 'cause for all intents and purposes,Cannon Lake has been completely shelved at this point. So where are things today?Well, Intel has pretty much given up on the Cannon Lake chips in favor of going straight to Ice Lake,which in theory will be shipping later this year on a 10-nanometer process with improved architecture. Essentially, it's a tick and a tock rolled into one. Meanwhile, we have the NUC as what is arguably one of the only examples of an Intel future that we never got to experience,although judging by the performance,wasn't that all exciting to begin with. 

How To Waste $200 on Amazon 2019

welcome to another very special edition ofMystery Tech. This time taking a look at some very special items that Ken has gotten that cost under $200. Protection case for N3,(laughing)wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this legitimately just like an iPod?Okay. I have so many questions. Why would someone wanna buy something like this when smartphones are getting better and better audio?Stuff like the LG V30 has an amazing headphone amp and you know, it does more than just listen to music. Now let me let you in on a little secret. Because Ken picks the products for these videos, I'm almost positive that he gets stuff that he wants to take after the video. All of the instructions are in Chinese. This is not helpful. So I guess this must be reasonably popular if they actually sell dedicated accessories for it. And I've gotta say, this leather case that's a lot nicer than the little silicone one that it comes with. Never be the same again?What?Nope. Oh, it's all in Chinese. Wait. How do you even . . . It's not a touchscreen, is it? No. Okay. So loud. This thing pushes some serious power. Wow. Okay. It sounds good with the actual headphone jack, but honestly, it's not a huge difference versus using AptX or Bluetooth. Alright, Ken, I think you actually did a good job. TheiaPro?What?Is this Google Glass?Alright, we'll see what we got here. Oh wow, those are . . . (laughing)Are you serious?For context, this is what normal human people glasses look like. And this, this . . . It even has plastic lenses for no reason. Oh, is that a camera on your face? No. What? What camera?These are my normal everyday glasses. Oh, wait, oh it folds, it folds. That's a look right there. That. . . that's a look. Oh, wait, wait, wait, hold on, there's even more. So because this is just literally a giant chunk of plastic that sits on the side of your face, they helpfully include a tiny little cushion so that it doesn't rub your skin off. So to take a picture, I need to double short press. Let's try the amazing image quality. I have no idea if it's doing anything. Did I just take a picture?Alright, you ready?So I'm gonna. . . Alright, did it flash a bunch? - [Ken] Oh yeah. [Austin]- Oh it did. Okay. [Ken]- Just now. [Austin]- We're recording. So this is what the quality looks like on the ThetaPro, oh sorry, TheiaPro. Apparently, it's supposed to give you a whole new world of point of view recording devices. So, yeah. Ken, if you tell me that this device was $200. - 78. - $78?- Yes. - Okay, I feel slightly less terrible that you wasted all of our money on(laughs)on this. A Jitterbug!(laughs loudly)It is the one and only Jitterbug Smart. Oh, man. All new easy to use the smartphone with an all-new larger screen. It actually is a kind of big phone but I will say a little cheap feeling might be a decent way of putting this. It does have a SIM card in it, at least. Oh, interesting this is an Alcatel OneTouch phone. Oh, there you go!Powered by Android. (intense music)(phone rings)There we go. It finally did something. Welcome to your new Jitterbug Smart!Tap here to get started. Alright. Oh, do we want to use Advanced Android easy-to-use Jitterbug?We're clearly not good enough for Advanced Android. Give me some Easy-to-use Jitterbug action. There are two ways to activate your phone. Call us to activate or you can activate it online. - [Alma] Thank you for calling Great call, my name is Alma. May I have your first and your last name please. - Yes, this is Austin Evans. - Is this a new device, Austin, or a replacement?- This is a new device. - Okay, and then for you or for somebody else?- This is for my dad. - His name is?- Ken. - Why did you decide to purchase this device for your father?- He just doesn't have a smartphone. - Do you think he's gonna be more than25 texts in one month?- I don't believe so. - You're all set have a wonderful day. Thank you so much for calling Great call. - Thank you very much. They just charged me twice for that. Alright, so we just spent $80 on activation fees for a phone that's gonna be activated in two hours. I hope you're happy, Dad. I hope you're really excited about your new phone that's gonna charge me $80 plus another $30 a month. Oh, it's not activated. They're not kidding you. You actually do need to wait two hours to activate it. So, because apparently, it takes twelve hours to charge my brand new phone and wait for it to activate, the full Jitterbug Touch experience might just have to wait for another video. Alright, next item. Digital Home Karaoke?(laughs loudly)Well, okay then. I think it's time for some karaoke. So, what did you guys think about the $200 tech video?Let us know in the comments below. And if you hated everything you can blame Ken,because it's all his fault. Anyway, thank you guys so much for watching and I'm gonna go play some karaoke now!

PS4 vs Xbox One Episode 3: Graphics

When it comes to picking a game console that’s supposed to last the better part of a decadehaving enough performance to keep up is a big deal.  To start let’s take a look atthe CPU on both the PS4 and Xbox One.  With both consoles using custom AMD APUs this isone area where they’re incredibly similar.  Each uses an eight core processor, the PS4being clocked at 1. 6 gigahertz where the Xbox has a slight advantage at 1. 75 gigahertz. They’re both based on AMD’s Jaguar architecture which is fairly low powered, typically beingused in entry level desktops and laptops.  Interestingly the Athlon 5150 processor isalmost identical to what’s being used on the consoles, just with four cores insteadof eight.  While you should take these estimates with a grain of salt it gives us a good baselineto compare, it’s clear that while they might have a lot of cores neither console can comeclose to even a modest gaming PC on the processor side.  Making things more complicated is thatwhile they have eight cores they can’t actually use all of them for gaming.  The PS4 reservestwo cores for the operating system and while there’s a huge advantage in being able tomultitask that means games only really have six cores to work with.  The Xbox has a similarsetup but developers have access to a seventh core as long as a game doesn’t need to useKinect or custom voice commands.  It’s not a massive difference but this paired withthe clock speed advantage gives the Xbox One a slight edge here.  While things are nearlyidentical on the CPU front get into the graphics and you’ll find some bigger differences. Both are using AMD Radeon graphics but the PS4 has a clear advantage with a bigger GPUthat’s rocking 1152 stream processors compared to 768 on the Xbox One.  As we’re talkingabout the same GCN hardware this basically is an apples to apples comparison, the PS4has a 50% advantage here.  Microsoft does have a slight lead when it comes to clock speedbut the end result is still a win for the PS4 with a total of 1. 8 teraflops of performanceover 1. 3 on the Xbox.  Another big difference between the consoles is memory.  We’re lookingat eight gigabytes across the board which is a massive advantage over the last generationbut not all of this is available, only five gigs are there for games to take advantageof.  The bigger difference is the type of memory, while the Xbox One uses standard DDR3 thePS4 uses GDDR5.  Typically DDR3 is used for CPUs, it’s doesn’t have enormous bandwidthbut it’s good for quickly delivering smaller amounts of data.  GDDR5 is the opposite, ithas lots of bandwidth but it can’t be accessed as quickly which makes it ideal for a graphicscard.  Purely looking at performance the PS4 has a big advantage with 176 gigabytes persecond compared to just 68 on the Xbox but Microsoft does have a trick up their sleeve:ESRAM.  This is a small 32 megabyte chunk of super fast memory dedicated to the GPU whichcan make up a lot of the difference however it requires the developers to properly takeadvantage of it.  On the other hand the PS4 can take the brute force approach with lotsof fast memory that just works giving it the clear victory here.  So what does all of thismean for actual games? With very similar hardware you shouldn’t expect a massive differencein graphics.  Both consoles support 1080p but many games give up a bit of resolution likeStar Wars Battlefront which runs at 900p on the PS4 and an even lower 720p on the XboxOne.  Most games like Grand Theft Auto 5 are capable of the full 1080p output but hereyou’re trading resolution for performance as both consoles top out at 30 FPS.  The PlayStationand Xbox are capable of 1080p at 60 frames though, less graphically intense titles likeRocket League along with remasters like The Nathan Drake Collection run no problem onthe PS4.  Forza 6 is a great example of a game that’s able to keep a consistent 60 FPSeven at 1080p on the Xbox but this is the exception rather than the rule.  Most of thetime to keep up the high refresh rate you sacrifice resolution like in Titanfall whichonly runs at 792p.  While on paper both consoles are similar they each have their advantages. The Xbox One has a slightly faster CPU but the larger GPU and faster memory means thePS4 almost always gives you a better gaming experience, giving it the win this time around. Of course a slight performance advantage doesn’t tell the whole story, check out the last coupleepisodes if you missed them and definitely stay tuned for the next one, this comparisonisn’t over yet. 

Xbox One X Hands On

- Hey, guys, this is Austin, and this is the Xbox One X. So, Microsoft just unveiled it here at E3and we get a super-secret hands-on,even though sadly it's not actually plugged in. So, one of the first things that you'll realizewith the Xbox One X is that it is tiny. So, even though this is significantly more powerfulthan the Xbox One, the Xbox One S,even something like the PS4 Pro,it's still a really small console. So, even though it looks fairly similar to the Xbox One S,pretty much everything inside has been changed. Inside the Xbox One X is the Scorpio engine. So, this is an evolution ofwhat was in the original Xbox One. So, not only does it have the same eight CPU cores,which have been improved and are clocked higher,more importantly it has a much more powerful GPU. Honestly this is one of the biggest improvementson the X, so it's going from 1. 3 teraflopsof computing power to six teraflops. Not only is that more than something likethe PS4 and the PS4 Pro, but I think more importantlyit is a huge upgrade over the Xbox One. Games that were playing at 720p, 900p, or even 1080p,should easily be able to be handled at 4K here. The X is also rocking 12 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory,which is a big step up over the 8GB of DDR3 on the Xbox One. What's cool is you're really not giving up a lotby with going up with the X, besides price,which we'll get into in a minute. So, the size, like I said, is roughly the same as the S. It's very slightly smaller, but more importantly,it is much smaller than the PS4 Pro, and alsopretty much has all of the same ports, the I/O,the Blu-ray drive, and what's cool is if you actually lookat the back of the Xbox One X, everything is pretty muchthe exact same orientation as the One S, so in theoryif you want to upgrade, you can just unplug,replug it in, everything's the same,and that even includes the power cable,which is still the tiny figure eight power cable. So, all of this noise right now is becausewe're actually shooting in the skybox right abovewhere we actually watched the E3 demo,and in about 30 minutes, they've torn down the entire stage. It's like gone. I really do like this matte black finish in person. So, even though I think the Xbox One S looks really coolin white, just having a little bit of sheen on the top,and we still have the vents on the side, it looks nice. Speaking of the vents, they actually have donesome really cool stuff to get so much powerin such a small space here. So, it pulls air in here from the sidesand runs it through a vapor cooling chamber. That's actually really cool, and it makes sensehow they're able to get so much powerin such a small console. So, that's kind of what you would findon stuff like a GTX 1080, or something. So, essentially, it pools the air in from the side,cools it and then sticks it out the backthrough the vents right here, which has the added benefitof you can actually stack stuff on top of the Xwithout it overheating and exploding in your face. Speaking of the size, even though it's aroundthe same footprint of an Xbox One S,this guy pulls a lot more power,as you would expect from a much more powerful console. But, what's cool is you actually really don't noticethat from the outside, and Microsoft claimsthat it shouldn't be any louder than somethinglike an Xbox One as is. Of course, all that power doesn't mean much without gamesto actually play, and there were a fair fewthat were announced today at E3. So, the big one that I was excited about is Forza 7. To be honest, I'm a huge Forza fan. I love racing games, and I feel like Horizon,especially the Motorsports series is awesome,so that looks really cool and the best part isit runs at full 4K at 60 frames per second on the One X. So, Metro Exodus I think is probably oneof the top ones that I'm excited to try. I was a big fan of Last Lightand this looks like a great sequel. There's also Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War,which again is another sequel to a gameI'm really excited to try. It did look really nice looking on the Xbox One X. There are also some cool surprises,such as PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDSis coming to the Xbox One, Minecraft is gettinga super duper texture pack to support 4K,and there are other cool things like Cupheadfinally getting a release date. It's not just new titles that will see a benefit. So, things like better texture sampling,as well as a faster hard drive should makeall Xbox One games run better on the X,and there's also the fact thatit's just a more powerful console. So, say an Xbox One game had a low frame-rateor had dynamic resolution scaling,all that should be pretty much crankedall the way up when you're playing on the X. About 30 games, including the Forza Horizon 3and The Witcher 3 are going to see updatesto support 4K running on the One X,and that's the cool thing. We're talking about true 4K here. So, the PS4 Pro is undoubtedly a very powerful consolebut very, very few games run at proper 4K. These rely on upscaling,or cool features such as checkerboarding,which get you close to 4K, but with the One X,you have that additional power to make sure thatsupposedly, all games will run in true 4K. The big elephant in the room, though, is price. So, the Xbox One X is going to be coming in at $499and it'll be on sale on November 7th. That is a lot for a console. So, when you look at the original Xbox One S,right, it's not original, but the standard versionof the Xbox One, that's going to run you $250. Even if you jump up to something like the PS4 Pro,that's $400, which means that you're definitelypaying a big premium for the One X. Don't get me wrong, the One Xis an impressive piece of hardware. Getting proper 4K gaming for $500 is no small task. Building an equivalent PC is probably goingto be pretty difficult, which brings meto my next slight criticism of the One X. I wish it ran Windows. It wouldn't have been totally crazy. The Xbox One actually does run on Windows 10,just with a different UI on top, but I understandthat that Microsoft likes to sell Xbox gamesand not games inside Steam, but I just can't helpbut imagine if the One X was a $500absolutely killer little gaming PC. As is, it is just a very, very powerful Xbox One. The Xbox One X is an incrediblyimpressive piece of hardware. If it was $400, I think it would be totally killer,but as is, it might be a little bit of a tough sell,especially with the PS4 Pro around. So, what do you guys think about the One X?Let me know in the comments below,and I'll catch you on the next one.
