Ahead of Microsoft’s E3 press conference scheduled for this Sunday, Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra announced that Xbox Scorpio will “unlock” an additional 1GB of DDR5 RAM to work with, for a total of 9GB of DDR5 RAM (via Polygon).
Even if the name doesn’t end up being Scorpio, the letter “S” seems to factor prominently into the final branding.
“We’ll keep tuning Scorpio to empower creators to share the best versions of their games.
The 3GB leftover will go toward system functions such as displaying the Xbox Dashboard in 4K.
