The Custom AMD Processor for Xbox Series X Quietly Upgrades to 6nm: Significantly Reduced Power Consumption

In August, Microsoft made headlines by announcing three new versions of its Xbox consoles, which have now hit the shelves: the $349.99 Xbox Series S 1TB Digital Edition (White), the $449.99 Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition (White), and the $599.99 Xbox Series X 2TB Optical Drive Edition (Galaxy Black Special Edition).

While the new offerings predominantly showcase fresh color schemes, digital editions, and increased storage capacities, an intriguing discovery was made by an overseas blogger who disassembled the Xbox X. It turns out that the Xbox X has been upgraded with an AMD Zen2 + RDNA2 custom processor process, transitioning from 7nm to a more efficient 6nm. This update is so significant that the processors now prominently feature "6nm" marked on their surfaces, a detail rarely observed.

Along with these changes, the PCB circuit boards and heat sinks have seen revisions, most notably the heat sink, which now uses considerably less copper material, shedding 100 grams in weight.

Practical tests reveal that the performance, temperature, and fan noise levels remain consistent with previous models. However, power consumption has been significantly reduced.

The original standby power consumption rate from 2020 was 60W, and while playing Extreme Racing: Horizon 5, it was 167W; the new 2TB optical drive version now consumes only 51W in standby and 156W during gameplay, marking reductions of 15% and 7% respectively. The 1TB digital version impressively uses just 39W in standby and 151W during gaming.
