Which GPU is in the Xbox Series S and how to build an equivalent gaming PC in 2022

The Xbox Series S console (Image via Microsoft) Microsoft introduced the Xbox Series S back in 2020 as a performance-segment budget alternative to the $499 Series X. This $300 console has gone on to outsell the Xbox Series X. Like every other offering on the shelves, the Xbox Series S is a ninth-generation home video game console. Although it packs every next-gen feature, it targets a lower 1440p resolution. This allows the device to be cheaper. Today, it is possible to build a gaming PC that levels the power of the Xbox Series S within $700. Although gamers will have to spend a bit more while shopping for a PC, the extra features and flexibility make the investment worth it.

What GPU does the Xbox Series S pack Official hardware and desktop equivalent

Reminder that the Xbox Series S can run these games at 60 FPS Reminder that the Xbox Series S can run these games at 60 FPS The graphics processor inside the Xbox Series S is much cheaper than that of the Xbox Series X. It is called the Lockhart GPU. This processor is based on TSMC's 7 nm process node. It has a die size of 197 mm², almost half of that found in the Series X. It packs a total of 8,000 million. The GPU can access up to a maximum of 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The remaining 2 GB of slightly slower memory can be exclusively utilized by the CPU. The Lockhart GPU has a total of 1280 shading units, 80 Texture Mapping Units (TMUs), 32 Render Output Units (ROPs), and 20 Compute Units (CUs). It is rated for up to 100 W of power draw. Theoretically, the processor can output up to 8.013 TFLOPS. This makes the Lockhart GPU inside the console slightly faster than the RX 590 and slightly slower than the GTX 1660. However, since the graphics card is based on the RDNA 2 architecture, it can handle ray tracing, a feature absent on the aforementioned GPUs.

PS5 & Xbox Series S My current 2 Next Generation Console Machines ???PS5 & Xbox Series S Building a gaming PC that levels the power of the Series S is easy today, thanks to the fall in graphics card prices. The $300 budget console does not pack high-end hardware. Thus, a budget gaming computer is enough to match the power. Given below is a system configuration for a computer that has been designed to meet the budget console's performance level. CPU: Intel Core i3 12100F 4C/8T ($105.98)Motherboard: Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4 mATX ($89.99)Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL 16 ($52.99)Storage: Teamgroup MP33 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 NVMe ($64.99)Video card: EVGA SC ULTRA GAMING GTX 1660 6 GB ($189.99)Case: Silverstone FARA H1M mATX mini-tower ($60.64)Power supply: Corsair CX650M 550W 80+ Bronze certified semi-modular ($59.99) Overall, this PC will cost users $625. It is slightly more powerful than the Series S. The GTX 1660 is still powerful enough to handle all modern AAA titles at 1080p with a high framerate. The GPU can also play games at 1440p. Developers optimize their games to run the best on the latest consoles. Thus, even a few years down the line, the budget $300 console from Microsoft will run games without a hiccup. However, this slightly faster PC might fall apart within a year or two. Poll : 0 votes Thank You!
