Microsoft has released some new details about the version of its Project Scorpio as we head towards E3 this month. The firm dropped a video, which you can view below, on its o Scorpio development kit. This is the device developers use as part of making games for the new platform
The dev kit contains more horsepower than the retail version of Scorpio the console. It contains four more compute units, an additional 12GB of GDDR5 memory ( total of 24GB of RAM), and an extra 1TB SSD. So the retail version of Scorpio will pack 12GB of GDDR5 RAM and a 1TB drive. Kevin Gammill , the Xbox partner group program manager, said the extra hardware within the dev kit allows developers to improve their development iteration time.
The hardware includes Xbox Transfer Device. This hardware allows a transfer speed of 450Mbps from a PC to Scorpio – so a game build can be moved to the console in less than four minutes. Previously, the time to transfer data of a build would take 20 minutes.
