Durango developer kit leaked?

Apparantley it appeared on a developers forum for sale for $10,000 with shots of a basic PC tower and a moniter running known basic programs. Digital Foundry checks it outs link

"Beyond that, further information is sketchy and unreliable. DaE reckons that the current devkits were dispatched to studios in February, and feature Intel CPUs and a graphics card that carries the NVIDIA brand - but he doesn't identify either part more specifically. He also claims that the Durango kit features more than 8GB of memory (other sources have suggested 12GB), and that it is 64-bit in nature - at this point it's worth bearing in mind that dev hardware typically features double the RAM of retail kit in order to accommodate debugging tools and other systems. DaE also says that Microsoft is targeting an eight-core CPU for the final retail hardware - if true, this must surely be based around Atom architecture to fit inside the thermal envelope. The hardware configuration seems difficult to believe as it is so divorced from the technological make-up of the current Xbox 360, and we could find no corroborative sources to establish the Intel/NVIDIA hook-up, let alone the eight-core CPU."

lol at those photos.

I'm going with fake. Blabadon

Yeah photo's do look sh*t, but DF mentions that sources they spoke to working with Durango say the pictures check out.

Absolute beast.

Its legit. This guy has been selling dev kits on one forum just made for that stuff. After he tried to sell this one, they banned him. He is no longer selling it, but it seems that he was legit.

I would have thought they would have stuck with AMD after Nvidea gave them trouble with the Xbox. So I'l take this one with a grain of salt. That and the durango background makes me think of the Matrix.

It's a dev kit. That's what the interface of the devkit looks like, not the actual UI of the system.

anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do something like this in multiple of PC Programs.(including NOTEBOOK)

This is Fake.

Orbis dev kit was also leaked

So the next PS will be about the power of a N64?

Interesting :P

This may be fake.

I imagine an intel cpu would hike up the price and I don't think MS will go with Nvidia again.

A next-gen Xbox using an 8 core Intel CPU, Nvidia graphics, and 8gb of RAM....

But how many Gamecubes duct taped together is that?

I thought it was already confirmed that AMD is doing the graphics not NVIDIA

brb gonna taek a pic of mah Orbis dev kit. Nevermind it looks like an image I totally ripped off from Newegg, it's legit I swear!

true next gen only right there on Orbis dev kit

There's a bottleneck in there somewhere...

Atom architecture? :lol:

I imagine this is fake.

8 GB of RAM is nice to hear, the rumored 12 seemed a bit much but what do I know? I just play them not make them.

Consistency? What's that?

Next X Nov. 2013 confirmed. :P

8 core processor rumors, more of them. That sounds logical if they do not want Kinect 2.0 to have it's own processor to keep the price down.

This will also allow them to run a slower clock speed and thus prevent heating issues that the 360 had.

I'm going with fake. Blabadon

8-core CPU and 4GB(8GB dev kit) sounds right. Although, I thought we'd see a quad-core APU paired with another GPU. Rumors is rumors.
