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.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hopefully this dosn't make the price skyrocket.

since the NGX doesn't even have a name yet I'm not believing any of this crap but if this has what it says it has. Dang that's a really nice next gen console

Hopefully, if they are going to use this step-up in technology they are going to make more high performance games.

Already an article posted saying 16 cores.
So I'm quite doubtful of this article now too.

If the specs are accurate this could be quite expensive,
can't see how it will be under 250/$400 like another article said.

Looks like we just have to play the waiting game.
