So, will have 16 core CPU, 4GB ram, and AMD 7990 plus Kinect V2. All for $300 dollars. With specs like these and throwing the beauty of console optimization on top, the graphcis are going to make PC look like WII U in comparison. No point in building a pc when 720 costs $300 and has betetr hardware than even a $2000 pc will have. I guess AMD stating 720 will have Avatar graphics is true after all.

plus 16 core cpu

You're here an awful lot for a guy that's not coming around.:roll:

And the only source I saw listed for this was the old PDF from 2010. So this is just extrapolation of old rumors. And very sad.

299.99 does not equal 7990, 7990 will cost about a grand. If they want a 300 dollar system, quad core, 4 gb of ram, 250 gb hd, and some like a 6850/460

Even if these rumors were true who gives a sh!t, its the 720. M$ has shown they no longer care about the core gamer with their refusal to creat new IP's and put old Ip's to good use.

Well, if it's true, I might consider buying one (in addition to the WiiU). But, why do I feel the urge to let out a snicker.:lol: I mean for $300, it should be a steal.

-.-, they can fit 'much' better than a 460/6850 for a few hundred $, not only by taking a loss, but with the contract offer.

But you're right that the 7990 is complete bs, no way any console is going to have two of the highest-end gpus.

That is only accounting for the cpus. They dont know gpu. I am guessing 7990 which will be 15x 360 at elast combined with cpus and ram.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

Yeah they cna have a 7990 If they are willing to release a monster console with an 800 Watt PSU. TDP would be madness.

Clearly you have no clue about modern technology. Why don't you go crawl back under Balmer's cock where you belong. He wants you to tickle him some more.

reach your really an idiot when it comes to understanding hardware eh? a 7990 would need massive cooling and a pretty big powersupply and no MS will not be taking a $300+ loss just to make "you" feel getty. " looks at Sony with having a $200 losses with PS3, peers into the future if MS does the same thing" Expect no more then a downclocked 7850 at the very best, and that will not be cheap console, MS and Sony will be playing it smart in using low tdp based hardware thats cheap enough to profit from quickly.

Even then getting bulk pricing with contracts will not allow them to high tier hardware like that without taking a loss.

Possibly but the problem is they all have to be custom made, do to the form factor and heating issues.

Old news is old. Love the way the 7990 was just thrown in there. lulzor.

Let's face facts. The leaked IEB Roadmap states MS's intent to go with cloud-based gaming updates starting 2015. Sony bought Gaikai and will do the same. They will both shoot for similar hardware and probably have these guys making sure of it...

Which is why MS will not use an APU that has more then a 100w TDP, anything beyond that would require better cooling and power. A normal 7850 uses 130w all by itself , a 7990 will be at the very least 330w.

Cloud will work for most consoler's since most dont care about graphics and just want to play games quickly with ease. Just like how casual games have flood the market Cloud gaming will do the same with console gaming. Because most consolers are gullible and will buy into the hype and advertizing.

That is quite possible but a 6670/7670 fits into an APU die much better, with its lower transistor count and tdp.

Unless that means a tri-core CPU it's about as likely as me growing a pair of wings and tentacles.

Even OnLive has made decent strides as of late. We're talking 2015, but with the collective might of Sony and MS pushing billions into it. OnLive worked well for me the last time I tried it. That was over a 12mb connection with the nearest data center being approx. 500mi. away. It was even fine playing Batman AC over wifi on a Galaxy S phone.

But thats the problem you need a 10mb connection. I'm in a the third largest city in PA and only 1 ISP offers speeds over 7 mbps. The US and the world is just not even close to being ready for cloud gaming

Unless Sony and Microsoft are willing to pay to lay cable, then they'd still be cutting themselves off from an enormous demographic.

tri core @3.2 sounds reasonable as does 4 gb RAM. No way ever, when hell freezes over, there will not be anything near a 7990 in the next gen consoles unless they cost $1000+

They won't be. The consoles will be able to play the games at slightly reduced settings. Others will pay a premium for the "enhanced experience".

So, are you a Microsoft insider risking his career to reveal the truth? Or...

Are you making assumptions based upon what you'd like to see in the system?

Because we don't have many hard facts about the 720 to say anything definite.
