microsoft's addiction to fully funded advertorial puff pieces is the only reason the verge exists in the first place so this makes sense

how microsoft built the xbox one x: they bought slightly more powerful components than were available four years ago and put them in another black rectangular box #wow #whoa

lol

quote:

The Scorpio engine, the heart of the new Xbox One X, is an integrated 8-core AMD Jaguar processor, the same architecture as the original Xbox One. That means the new box can still play games developed four years ago, for older and less powerful hardware. Yet it�s that same souped up chip, coupled with a generous extra helping of on-board memory, that makes the One X capable of performing more than four times the number of calculations per second than the original Xbox One.
