A couple of days ago, the specs were revealed for the newest Xbox console, Project Scorpio. Each system will have a CPU featuring eight custom x86 cores, clocked at 2.3 GHz, a custom GPU with 40 customized compute units clocked at 1172MHz, an unprecedently high clock speed for a console, and 12GB of GDDR5 RAM. Players will also have 1TB, 2.5-inch hard drive to play around with, and a 4K UHD Blue-ray Drive. Needless to say, the console will be a beast! Xbox fans and Microsoft managers are feeling pretty good about themselves right now and some of that is spilling into social media.

Yesterday, Albert Penello (Sr. Director – Product Management and Planning at Microsoft) posted a tweet answering the question if Xbox Scorpio will have a “boost mode” similar to the PS4 Pro. The Xbox Exec responded by saying “Everything will run better. We don’t need boost mode. The whole console is boost mode”

You can see the tweet below:
