Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The processor of the Microsoft Xbox Series X, manufactured by AMD, is a custom-designed chip. It is based on the Zen 2 architecture and is manufactured using the 7nm process. This combination enables very solid computing power for modern games. A special feature is the integrated AMD Custom Radeon Graphics (Xbox Series X).

This graphics card works seamlessly with the CPU. This ensures excellent and smooth display in games.High memory bandwidth of 560 GB/s is remarkable. It allows very fast data access and contributes significantly to overall performance. This proves to be an advantage, especially in computationally intensive tasks that often occur in modern games.

The high bandwidth can also support good AI performance. With 8 MB of Level 3 cache, there are sufficiently fast buffers for frequently used data. This processor has been specifically optimized for the console experience. It delivers consistent and reliable performance that is important for gaming enthusiasts.

It also continues to provide a consistent platform for demanding titles.
  • High memory bandwidth (560 GB/s)
