I tought they were aiming for a low cost console, not a 2000$ one.
Worst rumor so far.

No console will ever have 2 discrete GPUs.

They are not discreet
It has two APUs, each has one CPU and one GPU
So basically it has two CPUs and two GPUs? If true Microsoft just committed commercial suicide.Wait.. You copied a rumor, from another forum like this one, where this was also a rumor as well? And it originated from LIVE JOURNAL of all places? Sorry, but this is FAR from conformation of anything.http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=670140

Quote:What I have put here is 99% the real cpu/eapu specs.. This is Microsoft goal. It is also what is available in the dev kits that are at E3.. If Microsoft show the Durango/720/8/loop this is what is behind these specs.. The final 2 gpu design final spec is not 100% known out of Microsoft rnd there target is HD8970 tech. The cpu pic is the real durango cpu/eapu but now that specs are leaking out over the next 4 days. It shows you the future.Quote:Durango cpu specs
SOI -28nm 22nm by 2014
3.8ghz - 4.2ghz Turbo-core mode
4 SMT every core
1024 KiB L2 per core
8 VMX128 cores
120MiB EDRAM
There is 2 cores in every core. they are not stacked cores.
Durango cpu is an ultra enhanced apu,
DX11.1- 12.1 Upgradeable core logic
"BASIC" Durango cpu can support 12- 32/64 bit 1080p Render Targets "back buffer" 10/64 bits color and aa on all back buffers. 2k resolution and beyond. Cpu/apu and gpu/s can access the EDRAM on the fly. A massive amount of system Ram is also available "more then orbis" (note: suddenly PS4 could have less ram then Durango)Summary : 8 Core (2 core per Core ?) = total 16 Core x 4 Thread

So basically it fit with Durango is a Beast, a Monster etc
many more info on this insider link
funny thing basically durango is both powerpc and x86 , with
modified dual 8970 tech GPU with exotic feature and firmware upgradeable.
Now i know what system i will get next gen :)

Day 1 buy for me if this is true. Don't care about the price, wish both MS & SONY release powerful tech at a higher price tag and offer an optional 2 year contract for people who can't afford to pay upfront.Mystery_WriterSigh smh
Haha even if they did load the 720 up with that kinda hardware it'd be louder than a lawn mower chewing up a curb...

I would've helped if I knew what exactly bothered you.. But if my wish upset you because you're a price sensitive consumer, I thought of consumers like you in my wish, you could buy a PS4 / X720 with a 2 year contract :)

Powerful consoles are always good unless there are enough games for them.
If the next Xbox is over £400, then it will be useless considering the lack of games for it. The Xbox 360 barely has any games.
PS4 will be the one to get. It will be where the games at.
People who want consoles to be cheap makes me feel sick.
That would be impressive tech! Just hope it releases next year.
PAL360
Your main hope should be getting some games rather than the hardware. :P
That's the main problem with the Xbox.
barely any games??? lol There are 1308 games today. There are more than enough games, only not games that actually use current tech, the x360 can't even run crysis (not like it should run anyway, there's a vast difference between crysis on the pc and crysis on the x360) and crysis was released 5 years ago, do you know what that means 5 years in gaming technology, and hardware continued to evolve in that last 5 years. The best gpu then was the 8800 gtx, now it's the gtx 680. The gtx 680 is 20 times as strong as the 8800 gtx. The 8800 gtx is about double the power of what the x360 produces (or the ps3 for that matter). That means we're only using 1/40 th of graphics power that's now available in retail. I know all hail to the pc, but the games on the pc don't use that power either. We should boycot all of them and don't buy games anymore, cancel your xbox360 or ps3 monthly fee until they start to make some games that are worthy of the year 2012. I mean all i can hope for right now is that the wii u is at least somewhat better than that ancient crap.Powerful consoles are always good unless there are enough games for them.

What series do you think is the best then?
Crappy specs, not even 1/10 of PS4's power.

uncharted is a very good game , but it's hard call a game or series the best. Personally i think demon souls / dark souls , fallout , elder scrolls , fable and mass effect series are all better when it comes to pure action, i prefer crysis or bioshock , even gta or saints row. It's all a matter of taste The point is if you have seen cryis in all it's glory, you know we're missing big time. This wasn't possible in the past but gaming has become so mainstream that so much people still buy games even if we all know that they're just robbing us.[QUOTE="GamerwillzPS"][QUOTE="chilly-chill"] Don't take him seriously, he thinks that Uncharted is the best to come out this gen....evildead6789

The reason why I love Uncharted is because of beautiful storylines and gameplay they have. Honestly, I would have liked more action in them especially Uncharted 3.
People are stupid, they are usually everywhere. That's why they keep buying mediocre games and milked franchises like Call of Duty. They just keep buying them over again, again and again. In my opinion, this harms the gaming industry.
Thankfully, I'm not one of those idiots. I only buy quality games.

I don't understand why though, they are both very similar except the ME series has a deeper storyline.Please Log In to post.
