[Hardware] The Xbox Series S is back: on sale with Fortnite and Rocket League

[Dark]

The continuous and agonizing scenario that we currently live in on PC is beginning to take its toll on manufacturers and is changing the current paradigm where the player was the main customer, closely followed by content creators and professionals from all sectors. In the end we all play our favorite titles, but if there is no stock or the price is impossible… You end up buying a console. Well, now you can do it thanks to the Christmas offers on Xbox Series S with exclusive packs!

Is the Xbox Series S a good option?

If you are one of those users who like to lie down on the sofa from time to time to enjoy a console, it is the best option without a doubt. If we also do not want to spend a lot of money then the Xbox Series S is your console, much more if we take into account that it is now on sale for Christmas with an average of 10% discount.

It is the console with a controller as it was sold when it was launched, without associated games or anything like that. What we have to keep in mind is that although it shares part of the name with its older sister, it really has little to do with it, since it does not use the same SoC as the X version, if not its own. This measures 190 mm2, that is, almost half that of the largest of them, where the big difference is logically the GPU that it integrates.

Luckily, the 8 cores of Ryzen Zen 2 are still intact and it integrates two CCXs with 4 MB of L3 with frequencies of either 3.4 GHz or 3.6 GHz. So what about the GPU? Well, we will have an RDNA 2 at 1565 MHz with 20 CU that gives us a performance of 4 TFLOPS with the ability to work with Mesh and Primitive Shaders, VRR, Ray Tracing and Sampler Feedback Streaming, but not with Infinity Caché.

This allows you to achieve 1440p or 2K resolution at an astonishing 120 FPS, plus of course being able to play 4K videos. The best thing is that now we can get it alone with a 10% discount at only 269 euros.
