Xbox 720 release delayed due to poor processor quality -report

The "Xbox Surface" proposed specs look pretty good tbh.

It's supposedly two Power7 CPUs, each with 6 cores (which gives 12 cores in total), a custom AMD GPU based on GCN achitecture and full DX11 support, 5 gigs system RAM and 1 gig V-RAM, a 250 gigs HDD and a 7 inch screen capable of 720p.

I think people will be pretty shocked if this turns out true and the next Xbox will essentially be a Wii U but with considerably more horsepower.

Next E3 will tell.

Old, this was posted back in September when this article came out.

Bad news. MS won't miss the next holiday season. They'll rush out units to meet demand, regardless.Heirren

I still think it'll be riddled with hardware issues.

No issues for me as Ill have plenty to play with Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite and WiiU! Wasnt expecting the next XBOX or PS until a year from now at best and to be honest I think 2014 should be the launch period anyway. I mean MS would simply be dumb to launch a new console without the like of Halo 5, Gears of War and others. 2014 would make sense in the dev cycle.ShoTTyMcNaDeS

Isn't this a good thing?rilpas

only time will tell.

At least this is being done prior launching of their product...

Hopefully the hardware issues with the next Xbox will go down from 33% to 32% :P

To everyone who is calling this RRoD V2, go and learn how they make wafers. clyde46

They won't, jumping to conclusions about RRoD V2 is more fun. That's SW for you! :)

Also, don't expect many here to know what wafers even are. I'd even take a guess and say some read it as waffles! :P

Or find the nearest loaded gun and look down the barrel. Both provide the answer you are looking for.

Old as hell why post this again now?Duckyindiana

It probably means yields are low , not quality but the article s written so poorly and by someone so uninformed it's hard to get any real information from it .

Remember the PS3 Cell yields where so low they had to deactivate 1 spu to get enough chips for production , it means that they are using powerfull, cutting edge technology and that's a good thing in the end when they get stable chipsets .

Better they do that now then later...don't understand why people would be complaining about this. So they fix an issue before one could possibly arise and you complain? Ridiculous.

Good, that means more time for me to play Halo 4.

Wafers are always causing trouble.

Forget RROD v2.0, this time the 720 won't even boot up. Expect those faulty CPU's to be put in a less-than-bare-bones-SKU to rush it to the market.
Expect lemmings to damage control; "The CPU is a overrated gimmick like the blu-ray anyway!" Lemming May Cry :cool:

ahahahahaha its over for the lemmings OVERPinnacleGamingP

This is to do with low-yield rates on processor wafers. The faulty CPUs are not used :?

ITT: Some people are utterly stupid.

BTW, the Cell processor had issues with low-yield rates.

Yep. Cows take the bait so easily.

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"][QUOTE="delta3074"]You people really are dense, They have delayed the release to fix the problem, there would be no point in them delaying it if they where not going to fix it would there? you people just read the thread title and jump in and post without engaging the logic part of your brain, Delaying release=/= Rushing to market you fool.clyde46

You can't pick both,...with Microsoft, the options are mutually exclusive.DrTrafalgarLaw

delta just proved your pathetic troll attempt wrong. Be quiet and get some new material.

Good to know! Just hope it still releases next year.

PS3 didn't have a massive failure rate like the Xbox's. RRoD and other issues have an entire wikipedia page just dedicated to it due to how huge it was so it's only normal for people to have doubts about the next Xbox. Specially when it has been known that MS knew about the issues before launching the console and they still went ahead with it.

But I know you're just another tool that will try to spin this no matter what so who cares, right? So I'll just wait for your spin and laugh. :)

This could mean delays in the Xbox 720 launch which may sound daft as we dont even know when its due in the first instance

Spin what? Did I say anything about the PS3's failure rate? Nope. You're the one who projected that onto what I said.

This whole thread is the result of you trying to spin the 720's possible delay due to a manufacturing defect as a bad thing when it shows that Microsoft isn't going to rush the product to market this time around. Get over yourself.

How did that have anything to do with what game said?
