Rare Xbox Series X “Project Scarlett” CPU – looking for info & collector interest.

Discussion

Hey,

I came across something pretty unusual. A CPU from the Xbox Series X “Project Scarlett” era (engineering sample / prototype silicon). From what I can tell, this isn’t retail hardware, but an early chip tied to the development cycle.

I haven’t seen many of these around, so I’m curious:

  • Do collectors consider these kinds of prototype chips valuable?
  • Is there any known history or documented examples of these being traded or archived?
  • Would this be something preservationists or collectors might want to get their hands on?

Not looking to break any rules here just trying to understand its significance in the collecting world, and whether it’s something worth holding onto.

Any insight from folks who are into prototype / dev hardware would be super helpful!

Thanks
