The Next-Generation Xbox could have an eight-core CPU, according to new leaks.

4.7
It is rumored that an ex-Ubisoft employee known as 'BD' claims to know all information about the upcoming Next-Generation console from Microsoft, including the RAM, and much more.
According to him, the Next-Gen Xbox will have an eight-core CPU, and an 8800 series GPU. Whilst rumors are still going around about the new console running on a AMD HD 8000M graphics card.
It is also rumored that Microsoft will be using Windows 8 kernel for the system, which is to be expected, as they have been pushing it out a lot. He said that it will have 8 GB memory and a 640 GB hard drive.
Sources also say that Microsoft has refined DirectX 11 for a "fixed hardware gaming platform."
Please treat this like any other rumor, as nothing is confirmed yet. However, these are times when insiders can leak out information for a variety of reasons. E3 2013 will be held on June 13, so not long to go before Microsoft finally unveils the system to the world.

RuLeWreX 8 cores? I highly doubt that microsoft would put in an 8 core cpu just for gaming. The RAM however, will be quite nice to deal with since the lag will be almost non-existent.


Going off rumored specs, if they do put an 8 core CPU all 8 cores will not be used for gaming. It is said that it will have "Kinect 2" built in to it and plus a core will be used for the system's purposes, so after all that you basically have 6 cores that are free.

If these rumored specs are soon to be valid, a 6-8 core CPU is not something that will be outrageous.

But once again, these are just rumors.

The 8 cores makes sense for future proofing, I just hope they have a powerful GPU to go along with those cores. Also the Ram sounds good to me.
