Microsoft is presumably referring to single-precision floating point (FP32) performance, as these metrics typically do. At 12 TFLOPs, the GPU inside the Xbox Series X is a tad faster than Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Super, and just a bit behind a 2080 Ti, currently the best graphics card for gaming.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.

Games Asylum: "Before starting this review, I attempted to research the time management genre, inadvertently discovering an unexplored world filled with countless colourful farming and cooking games for PC and mobiles – most of which have either the word ‘frenzy’ or ‘mania’ in their titles. The Kindeman Remedy falls into the same genre but is the polar opposite, commencing with a warning screen for its graphic content, while also featuring a morally dubious – although intriguing – premise. Those hooked on Farm Frenzy are probably going to go through life blissfully unaware of The Kindeman Remedy’s existence; it’s for a very discerning audience."
Well these are some amazing specs that we have heard so far. What a difference this time around compared to the original Xbox One reveal.
Microsoft seems to be doing everything right.
The next thing they need to get right are games, I can see them keeping all the game reveals for E3 & I'm sure they'll finally get this right aswell from all the studios they have bought.
The last thing will be the price, if they get this right aswell I can see things going extremely well for Microsoft.
Going to have to double that console savings plan
Consoles tend to be fairly high end at launch. They also use extra optimization allowed as a crutch.
That said, by mid-gen, they tend to really start showing their age. At least come 3rd party titles, this this gen's refreshes. That also means, console gamers looking to stay up to date, are probably paying closer to $800 per system, per gen.
Just food for thought.
Great to see a powerful console again. Been a long time since 2001.
Hopefully Nvidia will deliver on the 50% improvement on performance rumor that is flying around, because you'd have to be completely out of your mind to purchase a 2080 Super or 2080TI right now, with the steep prices they are asking. The big Navi and Ampere announcements can't come soon enough, since I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my next PC build.
I'm worried about PC parts prices rising, not only due to the Covid19 virus, but also due to the fact that once console manufacturers start ramping up production, along with any new smart phones that might be launching later in the year, system memory, NAND flash memory, CPUs and GPUs might become scarce, and then we'll be looking at major price hikes.
These are the perfect conditions for a major storm in the PC parts market, and I'm not liking it too much. I might just bite the bullet, and go out and build a new system with an R7 2700X, a B40 Tomahawk MAX mobo, 32GB DDR4 Memory, a 2TB NVMe drive, and then wait on the new GPUs to launch later this year. It's a tough call.
