As reported over at WindowsCentral, it seems that Project Scorpio is coming along nicely. Microsoft’s Xbox Project Scorpio will have internal PSU and 4K DVR Capture according to the exclusive report, WC’s Jez Corden writes:
“In Microsoft’s efforts to make Project Scorpio a true 4K system, it will also feature HEVC and VP9 codecs for decoding 4K streams for things such Netflix, just like the Xbox One S. It will also leverage HEVC for encoding 2160p, 60 frame-per-second (FPS) video for Game DVR and streaming.
Microsoft’s Beam streaming service has been running public 4K stream tests for some time, and it’s now fair to assume it will not only be PC streamers who will benefit. Project Scorpio’s Game DVR will allow you to stream and record clips in 4K resolution with 60FPS, according to our sources, which is a massive, massive step up from the 720p, 30FPS you get on the current Xbox One.”
That means yes, a few hundred dollar machine will likely be more powerful than most of your PCs, and able to stream and capture 4K gaming video. The future is here, people.
