About this machine

The Series X links its Zen 2 processor, RDNA 2 graphics, and installed memory separately, preserving the scope of each hardware measurement.

Clock frequency cpu 3.8 GHz Confirmed Vendor-rated Nominal clock Stated by the vendor Eight Zen 2 cores with simultaneous multithreading disabled. Microsoft publishes two frequencies for this processor: 3.8 GHz with simultaneous multithreading off, 3.6 GHz with it on. Both are fixed rates the developer selects, not a range the console moves through, and the faster mode is the one recorded here.
Clock frequency gpu 1.825 GHz Confirmed Vendor-rated Nominal clock Stated by the vendor 52 RDNA 2 compute units at their constant operating frequency. A fixed frequency rather than a ceiling: Microsoft states it as constant, which is the design choice that makes this a nominal clock and not a peak one.
Peak FP32 rate gpu 12 TFLOP/s Confirmed Vendor-rated Theoretical peak Stated by the vendor 52 RDNA 2 compute units at a fixed 1.825 GHz. Microsoft's specification table says only "12 TFLOPS", which names no precision and could not be recorded as an FP32 rate. The glossary published the same day for the same console says "32-bit float" outright, and that is the document cited. A separate 12.15 TFLOPS figure circulates from a later Microsoft sheet; it is not merged with this one.
Memory bandwidth memory 560 GB/s Confirmed Vendor-rated Theoretical peak Stated by the vendor 10 GB GPU-optimal partition of 16 GB GDDR6 on a 320 bit bus. The console has two memory bandwidths, not one: Microsoft partitions the 16 GB so that 10 GB runs at 560 GB/s and the remaining 6 GB at 336 GB/s. The faster partition is recorded here and the slower one is named rather than averaged in, because the mean of the two describes no region of this machine.
Memory capacity whole-system 17 179 869 184 B Confirmed Derived Design capacity Computed here from figures the vendor stated Adds 1 memory-capacity figure obtained by design-capacity. Nothing in the catalog is left out of it. A total is only as trustworthy as the decision about what belongs in it, so both the terms and the exclusions are named records.

Rated power consumption whole-system unknown Microsoft's full system specifications table states the processor, graphics, memory, storage and I/O and no power figure of any kind. Not stated Vendor-rated Rated power Stated by the vendor Microsoft published a full system specification table for this console and put no electrical rating in it. The consoles whose wattage this catalog does hold got it from a safety guide or a regulatory disclosure, and no such document for the Series X has been read.

Memory capacity memory 16 GiB Confirmed Vendor-rated Design capacity Stated by the vendor GDDR6 on a 320 bit bus. The console's whole complement of GDDR6, before Microsoft partitions it into a 10 GB region and a 6 GB region at different bandwidths. Microsoft writes "16 GB" of a memory part, which is the binary quantity as memory has always been sold.
