Xbox One system detailed analysis: the complete Windows 8
|
A few months ago, several news outlets reported that the Xbox One had three operating systems. They then went on to say that one of the three operating systems was a stripped-down Windows 8, one was the Xbox One's own operating system, and the third was a middle-tier operating system that switched between the first two. However, they were wrong! The Xbox One does have three operating systems, but the truth is: one is a full version of Windows 8, one is a stripped-down version of Windows 8, and the third is a real-time operating system that is the main operating system. Let's take a look: Xbox One games and apps do run on Windows 8. We recently received the slides and audio files of Frank Savage's presentation at the Build 2014 conference, and noticed something that many news outlets didn't say. Xbox One runs Windows 8, and the games and apps that run on Xbox One run on a full Windows 8 and a stripped-down version of Windows 8. So it's all about Windows 8. First layer: the main operating system is a real-time operating system that controls the Xbox One's hardware and resources. In the words of Frank Savage, it "has everything, knows how everything works, has the CPU and GPU." This is the most basic system of Xbox One, but this system is only responsible for task management and security, not for running any games or applications. It also runs two other operating systems, one is a full Windows 8 system without Hyper-V, and the other is a unique and streamlined Windows 8 system. The second layer: shared partition system This is actually a complete Windows 8 system, but it is just a virtual machine. This system is responsible for all basic functions, and also includes the shell function responsible for interpreting external commands. Shared applications run here, and some major functions of games such as network and audio also run here. The third layer: exclusive partition system This is a unique operating system, which Frank Savage said is a "slimmed down Windows 8". After manual adjustment, all bottlenecks and high-load software have been removed. This is a partition instead of a virtual machine, and all DirectX drawing requests go directly from here to the main system without going through the second layer. Basically, Xbox One is an x86, x86-x64 architecture machine. As Frank Savage said: Any game runs equally well on Xbox One and Windows 8. This means that the interface capabilities are excellent, and if what Frank Savage said is true, there is no interface delay. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
