Terry Malham, CEO of Wild Sphere, reflects on his welcome impressions with Microsoft's upcoming home console, coming in Christmas 2020.
After knowing the final specifications of Xbox Series X, different developers in the sector have begun to expose their impressions with what we are going to find with the console. This time, Terry Malham, CEO of Wild Sphere and responsible for Gigantosaurus The Game, believes that this fast RAM of the American machine will make a difference when it comes to immediate access between video games: goodbye to transitions and load times .
Microsoft already showed it with a comparative video with Xbox One X: "This memory is faster than that of the last generation of hardware," begins Malham. "It will help the overall performance of each game. Equally important here is the amount of RAM, 16GB. A lot of games can fit entirely in that memory, which will allow for instant transitions. ”
Xbox Series X: 13.5 GB dedicated to video games
As far as we know, for the moment Microsoft has confirmed that 13.5 GB of those 16 GB will be dedicated entirely to video games, a very high percentage of memory focused only on the execution of the true protagonists. As Andrew Goossen, Microsoft member in charge of Xbox Series X, explained, “10 gigabytes of physical memory runs at 560 GB / s. This is what we call optimal memory GPU. The optimal and standard GPUs offer identical performance for the dedicated CPU for audio and IO file. The only hardware component where we find differences is in the GPU. "
The breakdown of the RAM of the next memory from Microsoft is as follows: of those 13.5GB dedicated to video games, 10 GB will be optimal memory, while the remaining 3.5 GB will be standard. The other 2.5 GB of RAM, (which gives the total of 16 GB) will take care of other aspects such as the operating system on a secondary level.
Xbox Series X will be launched on the Christmas market in 2020, although we do not yet know the launch game catalog or final price (although the FreeGameTips community has made its bets). You can check here everything we know about the console, the news of its new controller and all the games confirmed to date, also a comparison of specifications with PlayStation 5.
