Microsoft is using a custom GPU engine on Xbox One X that runs at 1172MHz, a big difference over the Sony PS4 Pro console's 911MHz.

At the core of the system is its support for ultra high-definition 4K gaming. The Microsoft Xbox One X offers a memory bandwidth of 326 GB/s for faster loading and the console comes with a 1TB HDD internal storage.

Microsoft used Xbox One X Enhanced program to update 30 third party titles to match the awe of its newest family member. The One X marks a return of the Xbox series to being a gaming-centric platform rid of other multimedia applications. In fact all previous Xbox games should be playable on this machine if you have the original disc. It also reports that one of the first games will be the Crimson Skies, loved by many.
