Microsoft has redesigned the internals of its new Xbox Series X hardware. The discless and 2TB models now have a smaller 6nm chip and different cooling.
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 the 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 system-on-a-chip down to 6nm, and switched to a new cooling solution.
Evans found that the exhaust temperature and noise of these new Xbox Series X models hasn’t changed from the original, though. Evans found that the original launch Xbox Series X hardware runs at around 61 watts idle on the Xbox dashboard, but on the new 2TB special-edition model, this dropped to around 51 watts idle and just 38 watts on the digital Xbox Series X. During gaming, the original Xbox Series X runs at 167 watts, with the discless model at 156 watts and the 2TB model at 151 watts.
