Way Faster Load Times
If you’re looking for a reason to pick up the Xbox One X outside of visual enhancements, then Microsoft has got you covered there, too. With games getting far more demanding and requiring heftier installs onto your console’s hard drive, increasingly lengthy load times have been becoming more and more commonplace across all consoles. The Xbox One X will allow players to jump into the action even faster than before thanks to a faster hard drive than the one we’ve seen in previous Xbox One systems.
With a 50% boost in the hard drive’s bandwidth, load times will be slashed down considerably as data is no longer bottle-necked. Combine that with the added RAM – of which 4 GB will be used as a cache for your games – and a more powerful CPU and you’re looking at games loading significantly faster than what we’ve come to expect from Microsoft’s home systems. It sounds great on paper, so here’s hoping it’ll be just as impressive when it’s in the home of fans around the world.
