Microsoft’s new Xbox Series X models have a smaller chip and different cooling


Microsoft has resigned the internals of its new Xbox models.

Microsoft’s discless Xbox Series X goes on sale today, and while it looks slightly different on the outside thanks to a white paint job and lack of a disc drive, inside it has been redesigned. Microsoft has redesigned the motherboard on the white Xbox Series X and new 2TB models, shrunk the chip down to 6nm, and switched to a new cooling solution. Microsoft is already using Xbox Series X-like hardware in its datacenters, and it’s reasonable to assume the company will use a mix of these smaller chips and redesigned cooling for efficiency purposes.
