Microsoft finally announced some of the specifics of its upcoming Project Scorpio refresh, and the implications for the Xbox One product line are enormous. This isn’t just a refresh or a doubling-up of existing resources, like Sony used with the PS4 Pro. This is something altogether different, and Microsoft doesn’t seem to be just gunning for the PS4 — it’s taking on the PC market as well.

Project Scorpio tech specs

Project Scorpio will feature 40 ‘customized’ Radeon compute units (2,560 cores, presumably) clocked at 1172MHz. The clock speed boost alone is 1.37x higher than the Xbox One, while the GPU’s core count has increased by 3.33x.
