Xbox720 Durango Devkit Leaked

4.4

Digital Foundry reports a dodgy-looking development kit detailed on a developer forum is the real deal – an authentic Durango, the code name for the next Xbox console.

The site spoke with the source of the leak, who said the dev kits were distributed in February. He detailed the system’s 64-bit architecture as having Intel CPUs and an nVidia graphics card, over 8GB of RAM (although Digital Foundry notes dev kits have more memory than retail consoles). The final hardware is expected to have eight cores, the source said.

It’s apparently a very different set-up to the current Xbox and also contradicts repeat rumours of a deal between Microsoft and AMD; Microsoft and nVidia don’t have a great history, either. That said, Digital Foundry claims development sources agreed Durango is a 64-bit system, and also confirmed the authenticity of the interface seen in the images.

The new Xbox is expected to be announced next year ahead of a holiday 2013 launch; a new PlayStation, codenamed Orbis, is believed to be aiming for a similar schedule.

T0xic8ear Very Exciting indeed, Now the only thing I really hope Xbox removes, are the memberships it should be free.

yeah man i totally agree they have made more than enough money from the xbox 360 live but we all know it wont be free because they are greedy and like to rip people off -_-

Actually it shouldnt be free it should stay the same price. for a few reasons,
1.IT pays for security.
2. we can talk to our friends no matter what game where playing we dont have to use text messages.
3.We Get updates and new dlc usually a month before ps3. ex. just cause 2 dlc, skyrim dlc, black ops dlc, etc..
4 We got minecraft For xbox.
5. We pay to play so microsoft gets more money for future developements.
so yea we pay for reasons.
6. most games used by ps3 are originly made with a xbox 360 enigne. all ps3 exlcusives are made with their own engine.
and btw we can switch from hdmi to and other setting with out having to change it back all we got to do is plug it in.

You're not really paying for the membership you're paying for security, PS3 Has free membership and they get put offline often. We pay for membership and i've never seen XBL go down

Frog I honestly have no clue what this is about xD I don't even know what a devkit is :oops:

It's a special xbox (like a jtag). Developers use it to debug and test games, as far as i know.

Oh right! Do people get it when it is leaked or sth?

So is that the Durango? Or is it just hooked up to a monitor via VGA?

playasachamp Cant wait for the new xbox!
Maybe it will be able to have 64 multiplayers online on battlefield 3

That would be awesome. Just think about any game having 100's of players on at once.

100's ? dont get ahead of yourself Pc will have 100's way before console and it will take pc a while for that too happen on a game like battlefield...maybe 128 is relatively near

I was playing just cause 2 mp mod a few days ago. A few hundred people on the ENTIRE map (don't know any comparisons but it's really big).

I'm sure someone whose played dayz can offer something on the amount of players on there. Stuff like that is already possible on PC.
