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.
danny29812 1. the pyramid quoting is ridiculous and needs to stop, it takes up half of a page for a one line post.
2. a good pc will cost near $1000, that is if you want it with a video card and a sound card to fit those superior graphics.
3. pcs are much easier to hack in to, unless you want to buy another $200 anti virus and firewall software,( the kind that Microsoft has over there network for the 360)
4. i personally dont think Microsoft will produce a new console, and expect it to sell well during this economy, heck people are dropping gaming because it costs to much, so why would they buy a new console?
5. the pc community is much more competitive and has more no life's, ESPECIALLY if you count WoW, Rune scape or mind craft, thus making it worst than the xbox community because xboxes are made for the family, kinda why we can play up to four people on one xbox. How many can you put on a single pc?
7.more proof that xboxes are made for the family is kinect, with a pc you sit there and dont move for hours, with a xbox with kinect, you move constantly ( which is what young kids what)
8. yeah on a pc you can browse the internet and look at fluffy kittens sleeping or porn, which ever, but that will also be a possibility on xbox with the new apps that are being created. also how many noticed i skipped 6?
9. those who claim it is cheaper to buy a GAMING pc over an xbox, here is your proof.
the best gaming pc on the market is,
Sub Total: $10,197.00
one to just get though a game of battle field 3 at the optimum graphics is
sub total $1,035.00, also to support those higher graphics you will need a faster connection, we have a 6.0 and that barely supports civilization v online. and to pay off the extra $700 with pirated games, you will need to download over 30 games. so that's busted
10. If the pcgaming community is sooo much better than xbox, why do tv ads mainly focus on the console gamer? why do sales focus on the console gamer? and why do games focus on the console gamer? examples, i watched southpark on comedy central for 2 hours and saw 0 pc ads but saw 15 xbox/ps3 ads 5 only for xbox and 3 only for ps3, i looked in the newspaper and saw 0 pc ads and saw 4 xbox ads and 5 ps3 ads.
TO ALL SMART **** WHO THINK PCS ARE BETTER BIASED ON THE "4 MILLION G A M E S PLAYED IN THE LAST 42 HOURS" if microsoft were to count how many single games that are played on there console it would be nearing 2 million. mainly because of the xbla which has thousands of games many under $1 (also another flaw in the PCs are cheaper line) and many many people play over 5 games a day so if you take the '200,000' xbox members, (which is counted by the4 number of xboxes sold not my the number of live holders) and multiply that by 7 ,which is the average games played for most of my friends over 48 hours, we have 1.4 million, and a large number of the xbox community is offline, around another 30,000. out of all of the people at my school, one plays pc over console, and i personally know of around 30 that play xbox and around 35 who play ps3. so shut up about things you dont know and try to be the deaf mute misleading the choir.
are you english? if you are then you need some english lesson. very big spelling mistakes. Mind Craft idiot Its Minecraft tosser
You're as bad him..... and dude that's a simple freaking typo. If you were smart enough to look at your keyboard "E" is right above "D". Your contradicting this guy due to the fact that he misspelled one simple thing.

You are an idiot. I can build a system right now that will be cheaper than a 720 will cost and will have better hardware. It costs no where near as much to max out BF3. No hardcore PC gamer plays any of the MMO games you listed. Who the f*ck pays for antivirus, free programs work just as well?

Haha, oh wow. Why are they using a GPU that terrible? The thing is basically already outdated. MY GPU for my computer cost $440. It would be nicer if they would actually use a decent GPU seeing as they are going to price the thing at like $500 anyways.
They will probably have a custom GPU made, and they can't just use something like the 7990 or GTX 590 because no one would be able to afford it.
They have a hard job of balancing power with cost.
I was hoping they would start selling these next year. I just got a new laptop for Christmas and figured that if the Xbox gets a graphics update, then PC will have to, also, since the games will have higher graphics.
