XBOX ONE

As you all know that Microsoft is telling about its new next-gen gaming console 'XBOX ONE' which is going to release on 22,November it features newly amazing graphics fast speed and many other things.

HARDWARE

The new XBOX will come in  two-tone "liquid black" finish; with half finished in a matte grey, and the other in a glossier black and its for gamers i mean that Microsoft has tried very much to evoke response of gaming. The LED rings used by the Xbox 360 are replaced by a glowing white Xbox logo used to communicate the system's status to the user.

The Xbox One has an APU of 1.7 ghz which has 8 cores based on the Jaguar architecture from AMD .The RAM is 8 GB of DDR3 RAM.It also features an additional 32 MB of 'embedded static' Ram or you can say ESRAM.The system includes a 500 GB non-replaceable hard drive, and a Blu-ray Disc optical drive.  The GPU is based on an AMD GCN architecture with 12 compute units, which have a total of 768 cores,running at 853 MHZ. For networking, the Xbox One supports Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n wireless, and Wi-Fi Direct.The Xbox One will support 4K resolution (3840×2160) (2160p) video output and 7.1 surround sound.So you can say gameplay will be awesome.

Controller & Kinect

 The Xbox One controller maintains the overall layout found in the Xbox 360 design. The directional pad has been changed to a four-way design, and the battery compartment is slimmer now . Menu and View buttons have replaced the Start and Back buttons.

The Kinect in XBOX ONE uses a 1080p wide-angle time-of-flight camera which processes 2 gigabits of data per second to read its environment. The new Kinect has greater accuracy over its predecessor, can track up to 6 skeletons at once,and perform heart rate tracking,. The Kinect microphone remains active at all times by default so it can receive voice commands from the user when needed, even when the console is in sleep mode so you can awake it with a command!.

It will run mainly on XBOX OS an OS based o Windows Kernel.

XBOX LIVE

Microsoft have stated that the Xbox Live service will be scaled up to use 300,000 servers for Xbox One users, but have not stated how many of the servers will be physical and how many will be virtual.
