Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The processor of the Microsoft Xbox Series S is a custom chip from AMD. It is based on the Renoir (Zen 2) architecture. This forms a very solid foundation for diverse gaming experiences. Manufactured using the advanced 7-nm process, it delivers remarkable performance. A special feature is the integrated graphics unit, known as AMD Custom Radeon Graphics (Xbox Series S).

It is optimally tuned to the console and enables smooth gaming experiences. The chip also has 8 MB of Level 3 cache. This is especially beneficial for gaming applications as it promotes fast data access. We note how well this hardware still masters current titles. The connection via PCIe 4.0 ensures fast access within the system.

This noticeably improves the overall responsiveness of the console. A maximum memory bandwidth of 224 GB/s also contributes to smooth image display.
  • Custom AMD processor on Zen 2 base
  • Efficient manufacturing in the 7-nm process
  • Integrated AMD Custom Radeon Graphics
  • Optimized for smooth gaming through PCIe 4.0 and 8 MB L3-Cache
