Tipster @rogame correlated a 2017 patent filing with a leaked quote on the RDNA2 architecture to identify how exactly the Xbox Series X's ray-tracing hardware functions.

There aren't any dedicated ray tracing hardware. Basically using shaders like how NVIDIA is implementing ray tracing on their older GTX cards.

Completely false. Both the PS5 and Series X have hardware accelerated ray tracing and MS especially has been abundantly clear on this.
