The Next Xbox Revealed - GameSpot.com

Whoo.......very sooon...

OK, this has nothing to do with computer HW but since its using AMD APU, quite curious about how the specs with be like? How will the APU perform?

Btw, PS4 also using the same APU.

Below Core-i3 level. A Jaguar core is an improved Bobcat core, which is a netbook level CPU. Go figure.

For the first time in recent memory, a next-generation console is below the level of a current mainstream gaming PC.

If its below i3, how is it possible to run the latest games?

Now watching the live streaming. It looks extremely capable though. Use hand gestures, voice commands.... wow.... Its like the future.

Machiam like star trek!!

Through software optimisation. Developers can tune their software towards the PS4/Xbox One, instead of having to account for the myriad variations in PCs. Looking at the specs though, the GPU is rather powerful for an integrated one, but still below the level of a 7970.

Yes, I just did some online search about the specs, it seems that the GPU will be around a 7790..... OK, quite low end. But since it will only run at 1080p, maybe its enough?

But its going to have 8 jaguar cores. I am quite surprised. More cores instead....

Lol..... I am also surprised by what it can do. Its reall impressive.

to think that the PC beside me has far more processing power but can't do anything close to that. I can't even use voice commands or hand gestures. No face recognition as well. Only KB and mouse.

Hopefully those cores are put to good use. Being x86 it should be easier for the developers. I keep hearing about how damn difficult it was to program for the Cell in the PS3...

I agreed. Since x86 programming is far more common. So optimisations, bugs etc.... are more known.

Me is really exciting. I love star trek.......

And this is becoming a reality. And the year is 2013..... Now we just need some voice recordings so Xbox can react and say something!

Btw, I am also impressed with the jaguar core.... DEspite low processing power, it looks like it can do many things. Quite amazing.

I'm disappointed actually, I don;t need all these stuff, I just need a gaming console.

Well, I guess gaming consoles are also evolving. Its not longer like a console of the old days when you insert a cartridge or CD/DVD to play games.

Lol..... Why? Actually I prefer digital anytime of the day. Don't need to go buy games, just get everything online and DL....

Its so much easier. I have not bought any boxed games for a long time.... Everything just download (mostly STEAM and Origin online).

I still remember I download Crysis 3 in 1/2hr on my PC..... Much faster than buying the physical copy.
