New rumors about next-gen Xbox CPU specs hit the web
The rumors talk on how AMD is creating the processor for Microsoft.
The CPU inside the console, code named Durango, has two modules, each with four x86 cores inside, according sources sharing these rumors. Each of those cores reportedly runs on a single thread at 1.6Ghz. Also, the cores each feature "a 32 KB instruction cache (I-cache) and a 32 KB data cache (D-cache), and the 4 cores in each module share a 2 MB level 2 (L2) cache. In total, the modules have 8 hardware threads and 4 MB of L2."
The Xbox 720 CPU apparently has a clock speed of 1.6 Ghz, which is actually half the speed of the cores inside the current Xbox 360. The Xbox 360, launched in 2005, has a PowerPC-based processor with three cores and a clock speed of 3.2 Ghz.

yo2434Reduction I wonder why they would cut the Ghz in half on a next-gen console? Seems strange to me...
id guess it has to do with keeping the rrod away,im pretty sure with less Ghz it would run cooler and in turn help keep boards from warping.
It would run cooler with a better cooling system my CPU is clocked at 4.5ghz and it has a decent cooler which keeps it in the low 60c range so thats all microsoft needed to do with the 360 was redesign the coolers.

ixMythRaised Basically the xbox 720 will be slower than the 360?
No, this, if true, will have 8 cores verse the current triple core we have now.
Hopefully this is true sounds amazing just can't wait to see it

RollinRhinoMoDTHEMoD_v3ixMythevery game will be hackable for sureLiteracy PowerPC ? Those who have the knowledge of Power PC and a decent knowledge of c++, i can see the next gen hackable for sure.
You realize that's what the current 360 has...
It honestly is sad that the thing isn't even out yet and people are already worried about if they can hack it or not.
why do people buy games only to end up cheating at them, also why would anyone with good C++ knowledge be playing console lmao
hey dumbass just because someone has good knowledge about c++ dose not mean that they cant play a console i have a pretty good knowledge of c++ and i still play xbox so whats your point ****?
