Xbox 720 16 Cores MONSTER Gaming Rig!!!

[clouthier]

The 720 will come in 2 versions one version will be the casual version with Kinect and more of a TV box for cheap.
Version 2 will be a MONSTER gaming rig that will crush high end PC's for several years. 16 CPU cores 2 GPU's Avatar graphics INBOUND!!!

What is your thoughts on this?
In my opinion Microsoft is cheaping out on components again, they could atleast go a little higher to accomplish sharper textures & 60 FPS lock instead of 30.

So what ur saying is MS will released 2 different spec'd xbox's (2 different platforms under the same branded console) so devs will have to either choose which platform to develop for, or make a game for both......

Yeah, not gunna happen.

You are on crack.

[Swankenstein]

Not the good crack either... 16 cores? Who's going to program 16 simultaneous streams of code? This is a game console not a movie decoder. And 2 gpus? Why? Consoles have used streamlined outdated PC hardware to beat  pcs in the past, but this time will it also have a 4 SSD RAID and 16gb of DDR6 RAM? Will it have dual 9.1 x-fis and support for unlimited screens?  So far the only direct reference i can recall from microsoft about the 720 is that they will be making it cheaper and focused on the kinect. This is why it always comes down to the games. Speculating on the hardware is fun but ultimately pointless.

It will need BluRay if MS is at all serious about having the box as your home media hub. Built in Wifi N reciever, BUT will still have some form propriatary wirless hardware ****.

It will have some form of Bluetooth. As you will see a lot of cross platform stuff coming in for windows phone.

You will unfortunatly see a **** ton more ZUNE implementation with cloud computing storing media.

In regards to hardware you will probably see an AMD processor with some form of quad core crossfire GFX chip.
