We already said it. Microsoft It has a perfectly scheduled calendar to talk about its next console, and although fairs and conferences are being canceled due to the Coronavirus, the brand continues to work to share the information through the networks. And the last thing that he has let us see is quite interesting, since we can see the interior of the Xbox Series X With every little detail.
a work of engineering
Spectacular. We can't think of another adjective to describe the interior of the new Microsoft console. Made up of several modules, the console hides a millimeter puzzle inside that leaves room for the Blu-ray reader, the motherboard, the heatsink with the steam chamber and the large main fan.

Broadly speaking, that is the interior of the new console, a series of pieces that fit together and find the perfect place in the main chassis, vertical in style and that attracted so much attention in its presentation. The design language of the new generation continues to maintain the one that was released with the Xbox One X. To such an extent that the consoles measure exactly the same in height and maintain the same aesthetics, the new Xbox Series X being wider and deeper, giving an aspect that at first feels "superior" to the previous generation.
The mysterious slot already has an explanation
The brand has finally confirmed what the slot that we could see in the back of the console is, finally clarifying that it is not a diagnostic port for developers. As we had well imagined and bet, the slot in question is an expansion port in which we will connect external storage units that will increase the internal space.
Said internal capacity will be 1 TB NVME SSD disks, so the external option will be of the same type to continue guaranteeing the benefits of the console, which boast extremely fast loading times. We assume that these external drives will not be especially cheap, and although the internal capacity is 1 TB (which could be quite enough for us), we will have to see how big the new generation games will be, taking into account the quality and size of the drives. textures that will handle.

Outstanding Features
In addition, Microsoft has wanted to pay attention to two key features on its console. We are talking about ray tracing and loading times, something that has already begun to be demonstrated with practical examples such as the case of the first, since with an image of Gears 5, the company has shown the differences that there will be between Xbox One and Xbox Series. X
The differences present in the visual range from the better treatment of light and reflections with ray tracing technology to the possibility of playing cinematic scenes at 60 images per second (Xbox One does it at 30 fps).
