It seems to be just some guy drawing a poster in Photoshop so far, looks to be Viking invasion of England related? it's pretty boring to watch but amazing talent for sure.

We already know that the name is Valhalla from their registered trademarks.
Inside Xbox is on 7th May, 4pm UK time with third party developers showing Xbox Series X games (includes the new AC Valhalla game).
This might be the new Xbox Series X startup logo. I am fan of these things. 
To be fair, it's more likely you will be sticking it in standby mode and resuming instantly most often.

Looking good to me.
Surely a 10 second boot time is good from a cold start for s console with a SSD ?
Looking forward to the Xbox event this week.

Yeah considering it takes 60-90 seconds currently on the Xbone.
My pc on an old ssd boots in 3 seconds.

What, with Windows 95?
On “shutdown” the ram contents get dumped to the ssd, which gets restored on “boot”. I expect the Xbox series x to do the same thing.
Oh so you use hibernate. I’ve never tried it on Windows 10!
With the compression hardware on the series x they should be able to do some great things.
Here's is a video an interesting talk on how SSD speeds could affect games in the coming years. This is for both the PS5 and XSX (is that the abbreviation) games. It is long, so stick on 2x speed and listen in the back ground
I rough TLDW
Smaller game installer size due to not needing to duplicate data (Same as what cerny mentioned). This may be offset by large texture size and an increase in assests due to no longer being bottlenecked by HDD speeds.
Currently games need to hold in RAM everything that player is looking and everything a player could look at in the next XX seconds (where XX is the speed it takes to get data from the harddrive to RAM). By reducing XX you effectively increase the amount of data that can be dedicated to what the player is viewing, since you don't have to back up as much data on RAM for what the player might look at in the next XX seconds.
PS5 SSD speeds could have been limited by Sony so that it was easier for players to find NVME drives that would be compatible.
PC will get this tech at some point. Devs may even delay porting games to PC because of this.
I decided to repost it here since some of you may not be browsing the PS5 thread.

All the games in today’s Inside Xbox are optimized for Xbox Series X so we should see what the SSD is capable of.
I suspect it is optmised in terms of CPU and GPU utlisation. Till the PS4 and Xone become obselete (early 2022?) we will be unlikely to see games designed around their SSDs
I’m inclined to agree with you there but I feel that would be quite misleading to use this badge if there were loading times more than a few seconds, say 10.
