The Xbox One X and Xbox One S are part of the eighth generation of home video game consoles (similar to PlayStation 4 Pro) produced by Microsoft. These consoles are often seen as a mid-gen refresh - but both were marketed differently. The Xbox One X was released in November 2017 and featured upgraded specifications compared to the original Xbox One, including a more powerful GPU, increased RAM, and support for 4K gaming. The Xbox One S, released the year before in August 2016, offered improvements in design and size, as well as added support for HDR and 4K video playback.
The Xbox One X released with an AMD 8-core APU at 2.3 GHz, 12 GB RAM, and an AMD GPU based on the AMD Radeon RX architecture. It was marketed as the most powerful console on the market at the time of its release in November 2017, with a retail price of $499.
On the other hand, the Xbox One S released with an AMD 8-core APU at 1.75 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and an AMD GPU based on the AMD Radeon GCN architecture. It was marketed as a more affordable option compared to the Xbox One X, with support for 4K video streaming and HDR gaming. The Xbox One S was released with a price tag of $299.
