Microsoft took this year's Game Developers Conference as an opportunity to share some early Xbox Project Helix specs – and I do mean early. The list is light on specifics, but it does detail the types of technologies that'll power the next-gen machine, as Microsoft tries to get a leg up in the next-gen console war.
"As part of our multi-year partnership with AMD, we are shaping the future of rendering and simulation," Xbox's next-gen VP Jason Ronald says in a new blog. "Project Helix is powered by a custom AMD SoC" – that's a "system on a chip," for the laymen, which encompasses most of a modern game console's processing power – "and co-designed for the next generation of DirectX and FSR to unlock what comes next."
