We’re probably on the cusp of one of the leakiest next-gen rumors finally being confirmed. For a long time now, there has been talk that Microsoft’s next-gen launch will feature a family of two consoles — the Xbox Series X that we’ve known about since December 2019, and a cheaper lesser-powered console that’s still unannounced and codenamed Project Lockhart.
Thanks to a new leak from someone with a next-gen developer kit, we have further proof that Lockhart is still on the way. As detailed by The Verge, these kits have distinct profiling modes so that developers can test how their games will perform on the consumer versions of both next-gen devices. The Verge reports that Lockhart will have 7.5GB of available RAM, “a slightly underclocked CPU speed,” and approximately 4 teraflops of GPU power; the Xbox Series X will have 13.5GB of available RAM and 12 teraflops of GPU performance.
Here’s a tweet that helps corroborate the profile report (Anaconda was the codename of Xbox Series X):
