The jump in performance definitely isn't the big leap Microsoft is promising for the Scorpio, but according to Eurogamer, benchmark scores for the slimmer Xbox put its performance at up to 11 percent higher than the vanilla Xbox One.Of course, that 11 percent performance jump isn't across the board, but was noted during a test of Project Cars in third-person chase-cam replay. The One S beats out the Xbox One due in large part to an overclocked GPU. Whereas the original Xbox One GPU clocks in at 853 Mhz, the GPU in the One S has a 914 Mhz clock speed.The Xbox One S also benefits from increased ESRAM Bandwidth, at 219GB/s compared to the original Xbox One at 204GB/s.If your eyes have glossed over from the technical details, in a nutshell, games can and do look and run better on the Xbox One S. The difference may not blow the top off your skull, but it's noticeable and not insignificant.We got our hands on an Xbox One S, so if you're deciding whether or not you should buy one for yourself, check out our Xbox One S review
