Xbox 720 Will Be Six Times as Powerful as Current Gen
4.8
The next Xbox will ship to retailers in late October or early November of next year with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN. Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, our sources have confirmed that mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU. Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for DirectX11, multidisplay output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.
In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20-percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U.
Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system's final configuration in August. Projected pricing for the console was not provided.
Galatic They should make the new Xbox free to play online.
They wouldn't do that. They make so much money and were all willing to pay.
It's like you owning the best store in town, then giving everything in the store for half off all the time. If they know we're going to pay they are going to keep charging us.
beatudown My father is working with microsoft on the new xbox and they will be giving me an xbox 720 months before they come out
So after looking at your profile I find that you are 26 with no job meaning you have no income thus you live with your parents playing video games. What more can i say...
i_r_illiterate i like how all the kids are acting like its going to be the most expensive thing ever :D
It will be about 400.00 and like $600.00 is my estimate :)
It will be the same price as the current XBOX.
No It wont it will probably start off at like $500 and maybe go higher
This is microsoft, there buying power is imense they will be buy the processors by the millions! This ALWAYS leads to a reduced offer per unit so it'll be about 20 per unit. We'll be charged about 40 for the processor alone. Plus everything else including outer casing, all the electronics and stuff (which will be made and assembled in china using dirt cheap materials) I reckon it'll come to about 150-200
