Sony simply can't afford to take losses on the hardware like MS.

The PS4 is going to get killed out there.

GPU > CPU. Refer to PS3 for example.

Going to be funny to watch all the Cows go Xbox next gen when they realize Sony is no longer in a position to take losses on the hardware like MS who will deliver a much more powerful box at the same price.

They would need a powerful CPU for the built in Kinect sensor. A big problem with kinect is that it's very CPU dependent and it sucks away a lot of the power from the game.

Even if the Xbox 720 launches with Microsoft taking a heavy lost per consoles, expect to pay that sum plus more back to Microsoft in the long run.

A lot of games will not use Kinect and simply leave it with a very high powered CPU.

I wonder why they are using such a powerful cpu. I dont think even the best GPU could take advantage of a CPU this powerful.....and wouldnt 16 cores make it hard for devs vs a 4 core one?

You have to have a strong CPU to get kinect finger tracking to work properly. This makes sense.

Actually, this generation it hasn't been CPU power that has bottlenecked games. A very powerful CPU is pointless if they don't have the ram and the GPU.

I'll tell you right now, they aren't going to drop some mid-ranged PC GPU into the 720 if they want it to cost under $600.

16 core by itself means nothing, modern GPUs have 100smarkop2003

The Nvidia GTX 480 has 480 cores! But the thing is that CPU's are faster and that's why they are still necessary. When we start seeing GPU's with a clock speed of at least 2GHZ then CPU's will disappear and that's not good for Intel. That's why they keep investing is faster CPU with more cores, to stay relevant and give performance that GPUs cannot achieve by themselves.

Cpu's arent faster then GPU's when it comes to rendering or doing parallel processing. For example a i7 2600k at 4.8 ghz only can do 98 GFLOPS while a measly 8600GT can do 110 GFLOPS. Cpu's are made to direct and process data for rest of the PC, and having a 16 core cpu is pointless for supplying a gpu that one sixth the performance of a GTX 480. if they have a 16 core cpu it will most likely be for motion control processing.

Mid ranged today is GTX 460/6850 which are 3x faster then 6670/7670

Sony will still probably have the most impressive hardware of the 3 , they are a tech company and there way back to the promised land is making high end hardware not cheap crap.

What does a 6670 have to do with anything? U are an idiot if u think the next Xbox will ship with a 2 1/2 year old GPU. That would be like Xbox 360 having been shipped with a ATI 9600 :D

I simply don't understand why some posters have this unbelievable hate for anything related to PlayStation and will do anything to make countless threads about how great the Xbox brand is, and forever will be, and how it's simply the greatest thing ever, and everything else is a load of crap, and everyone who thinks otherwise needs to get their head out of their @ss, etc.

Such a CPU doesn't exist. And even if it did, it would make the console too expensive. Next Xbox will most likely have a 6-core processor at best.

Yeah but a modern GPU is MUCH more costly then the GPU's of the olden days, so expecting the 720 to get any sort of truly powerful GPU is also an expectation for it to cost $600 or more. Plus this is just more speculation, fanboys claiming some rumors are true just because other people say it. I'll believe the 720 has a super powerful GPU when they reveal it and tell me what the GPU is and it actually IS super powerful.

9800 Pro was $500 and high end at the time. So that was actually a bad comparison in my part. Xbox 720 shipping with a 6670 is more like Xbox 360 having been shipped with a ATI 9500 Pro which was probably around $200 at the time.

Na the next xbox would be getting a gpu thats two gens ahead ie Direct x 11, along with 4x the memory and 3x the performance of the 360's gpu. MS will not be using a much better gpu then 6670/7670 anything higher needs more power and cooling which raises the costs.

anyways, whatever cpu or gpu they toss in this xbox it doesnt really matter... I won't be buying a 360 till at least a year or more after its release. I've had bad launch systems dating back to the first xbox in 2001... then again in 2005 with the 360.

Maybe microsoft will release a solid piece of hardware from the start, who knows...
