Details:
The Xbox One is a powerful piece of hardware with 8GB RAM, 64-bit processors and plenty more muscle. But as time passes this hardware will age. As Xbox One Director of development Boyd Multerer pointed out, "You'll still have a limited number of transistors in your house; in your box."
Not much is known about the Xbox One GPU, but a Microsoft representative has told IGN "AMD is our primary partner for the custom silicon that makes up our GPU/CPU SOC that is the heart of Xbox One." [Source: IGN interview with Microsoft]
But the Xbox One is built to communicate with servers in the cloud to increase the computational potential of the system. Boyd continued "[As a developer] I can start doing things like shifting latency insensitive things to the cloud. You may have a limited number of transistors in your house, but you have an unlimited number of transistors in the cloud"
As bandwidth improves, there is potential for actual game computations to be off-loaded to servers in the cloud, essentially allowing the Xbox One to become more powerful over time as more and more transistors are connected to Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.
Xbox Live on Xbox One has been confirmed by Microsoft. Your Xbox Live Gold account and Achievements will carry over to Xbox One. Your Gamertag and Avatar will also transfer over.
Xbox Live Arcade purchases will not transfer over, as the Xbox One will not be in any way backwards compatible. However, entertainment content that you've purchased, such as movies, will carry over.
According to Microsoft, "Your Gold account carries over so you will have your Gold on Xbox 360 as well as Xbox One. With Smart Match, Game DVR and New Achievements, we previewed some of the major investments we're making to make the new Xbox Live the best place to play games and enjoy entertainment with your friends online. We will have even more to share in three weeks at E3." [Source: IGN Interview with Microsoft]
"Your current Xbox Live Gamertag will stay with you on Xbox One if you choose to keep it, and your hard-earned Gamerscore and Achievements will indeed carry over from Xbox 360."
Xbox Live will have access to over 300,000 servers, which is larger than the entirety of the internet was during the late-'90s.
