Xbox Series X with 40 GB of storage. As it turned out, the development kit differs from the serial console not only in design

As you know, consumer game consoles differ from developer kits, and not only externally.

The latter usually have more ports and sometimes slightly different characteristics. So, only now it became known that the Xbox Series X developer kit has much more memory than a serial console.

The device, known as the XDK, was acquired and dismantled by the authors of Gamer Nexus. The console has the same APU as the production model. That is, it includes eight processor cores with Zen 2 architecture and a GPU with RDNA 2.0 architecture and 56 CUs.

But the universal memory, which plays the role of both operational and graphic, XDK has 40 GB! By comparison, the consumer console only has 16 GB. The XDK is equipped with 14GHz GDDR6 memory. Whether there is a division of this volume into three blocks, like the Xbox Series X, is unknown.

A large amount of memory is needed by developers in the process of creating games, but a mass-produced device is unlikely to require such a huge amount at the moment.
