Let’s get started with Nvidia. In another turn of events, it looks like GTC has once again been slightly changed. It went from the full event to an online-only webcast and keynote, to news and an investor call. Well, now we have its final form.

Pretty much nothing. While we thought we would at least get the news planned for the original GTC, just in a different format, we now learn that Nvidia is delaying the big stuff for a future date. On a blogpost from Nvidia’s CEO on the GTC web page, Jensen Huang says that GTC news can wait and that while they have exiting products and news to share with us, it just isn’t the right time. So yeah, if you were hoping for some juicy Ampere slash hopper news, it’s just not going to happen.

Moving on to Microsoft news, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you already knew all about it, Xbox went ham and gave up most of the specs for the Series X. Here is everything we know:
The system will use a monolithic die. In terms of CPU, we have 8 cores based on the Zen 2 architecture for which 1 core will be reserved for the OS. What is most interesting about this CPU, is the dynamic clocks based on SMT. When the CPU uses 8 cores with SMT disabled, basically 8 cores 8 threads, it can run at a constant 3.8Ghz. If a game needs the extra threads and requests SMT to be enabled, the clocks drop a bit to 3.6Ghz. It will be interesting to see how the console switches from one to the other when the console is running. Is it going to need a shutdown or can it do it dynamically? We’ll have to wait and see for that.

On the integrated graphics side of things, the Series X is an absolute monster. It has a Navi 2x or RDNA 2 based chip with 56 CU’s where only 52 compute units are active, for a total of 3328 stream processors. This is 768 more SM’s than AMD’s current top of the line consumer GPU’s the 5700XT. And the clocks dont seem to suffer at all. Here is a comparison of the RDNA 1 based 5700 XT and RDNA 2 Series X GPU. The boost and game clocks of a 5700xt go up to 1755 and 1905Mhz respectively. In the case of the Xbox, it should be at a steady 1825Mhz which is truly impressive given consoles of days past barely got to 1200Mhz. In terms of memory for said the console, it will be equipped with 16gb of GDDR6 running at 14gbps effective. This 16gb is divided like so: 10gb at full speed for the GPU, 3.5gb at a slower throughput for games and 2.5GB for the OS. this split was apparently essential for a working console.


All of the videos did show the size of the new console, but perhaps the best way I saw it put, is that the series X will be the equivalent of 2 GameCube stacked on top of each
