Microsoft Xbox Scorpio Dev Kit Hardware Revealed

Last week, Microsoft officially revealed the key specifications for the Project Scorpion / Xbox Scorpio console.We now have a very good idea what the Xbox Scorpio will look like. The dev kits feature some difference, including an OLED information display on the front.




These kits give developers the early version of the console to begin creating games for the device. In terms of design, we would guess these dev kits are very close to the final design of Project Scorpio.


A closer look at the hardware shows the XDK (Xbox Development Kit) branding. Looking at the design, this carries a close resemblance to the current Xbox One S. That makes plenty of sense, although there will undoubtedly be some aesthetic tweaks.

There are crucial differences to note, such as the disc tray located in black lower half of the console. Speaking to Gamasutra, Kevin Gammill, group program manager for the Xbox Core Platform said:

“I kid you not, I go to first-party studios, I go to third-party studios, and they have dev kits stacked. But they basically built blocks, or used Legos, as a gap so they could vent. Well now you can stack these ten-high.”



Other changes that are noticeable include an OLED panel on the front of the Xbox Scorpio. This panel comes with its own navigation button and will give developers important system information. The hardware also sports five buttons that are not on the Xbox One S. These allow information to be programmed into the OLED display.

Xbox Scorpio Specs

Eurogamer reported that the Xbox Scorpio will come with the following hardware:

  • CPU: Eight custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3GHz
  • GPU: 40 customized compute units at 1172MHz
  • Memory: 12GB GDDR5 with 8GB for games
  • Memory bandwidth: 326GB/s
  • Hard drive: 1TB 2.5-inch
  • Optical drive: 4K UHD Blu-ray


It has a compute power 4.5 times more than the current console. Microsoft has already confirmed the device will get 6TFLOPs for horsepower.
