Xbox One topped out at 68GB/s of memory bandwidth via embedded DDR3 running at 2133MHz via a quad-channel interface. There are many deficiencies to the board though, not least in its memory set-up. The A9 clocks at 2.35GHz (similar to the 2.3GHz Xbox One X) while the RX drops back to 1.75GHz - a match for the vanilla Xbox One, as you might expect. In one area of the BIOS, you can swap the CPU type from an A9 9820 to an RX 8120 - nonsense names really as the chip doesn't change, but the clock speed does. The BIOS on the motherboard is also strange, simplistic in some areas, overly verbose in others, while many functions do not seem to work correctly. Markings on the chip may even suggest that the Chinese boards are built using left-over quality assurances samples - after all, we would assume that this chip left production some time back in 2016. Even more curious is that the processor is the original 28nm 'Durango' offering found in the hulking set-top box Xbox One - not the smaller, cooler, more efficient model found in Xbox One S.

#XBOX 360 BIOS COMPONENT IS MISSING OR OUTDATED PC#
The graphics side of the equation was more easily accommodated, tapping into AMD's new-for-the-time Graphics Core Next architecture.Īll of which makes the board based on the Xbox One processor I acquired from AliExpress a somewhat weird proposition: its CPU architecture is extremely slow by PC standards, while its graphics are out of date, to put it kindly. If they couldn't have a fast CPU, they'd have a 'wide' one instead. Faced with a lack of CPU options that would work within a console, Microsoft and Sony adapted the same solution - strapping two of those quad-core CPU complexes together. The AMD Jaguar CPU cores were originally targeting low power laptops and tablets, only reaching the desktop PC market in a quad-core configuration with the AM1 'Kabini' platform, designed for basic tasks and even more basic gaming. While there is convergence in technologies - in terms of AMD CPU and GPU architecture at least - the last-gen consoles were still a novelty in their own way. We've acquired one, tested it, and even run Cyberpunk 2077 on it - so what we have we learned from this bizarre experience? Profoundly illustrating this is the arrival in Far Eastern markets of a PC motherboard that's actually based around the Xbox One processor. Since the arrival of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the dividing line between PC and console technology has become more of a blur - both last-gen and current-gen hardware from Microsoft and Sony are effectively integrated, customised PCs.
