New rumors about next-gen Xbox CPU specs hit the web

4.6
Microsoft is still not saying anything officially about their plans for the successor to the Xbox 360. That hasn't stopped a number of rumors about the console from leaking, however, and the most recent claims involve the next Xbox's processor.

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.

Orc i hope this console is better than it sounds.


I hope it isn't as expensive as it sounds.


Lmao, this is true


Very, with all the upgrades it sounds like over a $300 console :/

Kixa Cant wait to see the new xbox


Should be awesome! I can't wait either.


Next month we get to i believe!


I hope so, but they like to keep us eager.


I wonder what it looks like.


I hope it looks better than the 360. Or just as good.


I'm sure they have a nice sleek design.


Yeah, if they make it slim, it will gain more sales IMO. Seeing as the PS4 is huge, well atleast from a photo I've seen.


The photo is still a rumor.

bigchukka I'm almost certain the next Xbox will beat ps4. I only say this because we pay for XBL and that has made alot of money for Microsoft over the years. That should mean we get the best product overall. Microsoft is now also aware of Sony's system spec/features so i really think they will pull off something sick to keep us ahead.


I also am confident in MS, hopefully they prevail.
