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.

prumpa I really hope they don't rush it in hopes to get it out before the competitor. And I also hope they make it upgradable unlike the new mac.


Do you realize that xbox's aren't upgradable other than the hard drive space.. and Mac? they never released a console. Read next time.


he was talking about a mac computer not a console...either your being a dbag or ur just dumb


I think you're the dumb one. He never said that Apple, who created the iMac, made a console. He just simply stated that the Xbox 360 isn't really "upgrade-able other than the hard drive space" and that Apple never created a console.

most likely GDDR3


8GB of GPU Memory? You crazy?

Knew this would get leaked eventually.


I believe he's referring to just memory on its own (RAM). And I HIGHLY doubt it's have that much anyways. And as for what GDDR it'll be, most standard (computer) GPUs are GDDR5. So let's hope they update that.

The current Xbox only has 512 MB. The next gen Xbox will more than likely have a 1GB GPU or MAYBE (but highly unlikely) 2 GB GPU. An 8 GB GPU has yet to be manufactured. The highest gig GPU out there is 6 GB (and it's two of them in 1 card) and it hasn't been released yet (I don't think). And regardless, a GPU with that high of specs would be POINTLESS in an Xbox. Even with a game fully maxed out beyond belief it'd still wouldn't use up all the RAM. It'd just basically give you a really high FPS which would be stupid for use on a TV. You'd need a monitor with a really high amount of MHz to take advantage of it else it wouldn't look any different then on any normal TV (FPS wise not graphics wise). What I'm trying to get at here is that whoever said that it'll have 8 gigs of GPU RAM is a retard. The cost of the Xbox would be well over 1 grand rather than $300.

-SpecOps- So the new xbox console looks like a tower? Oh well, it's probably bigger so they could put better stuff in it.

This dev kit

rickshaw I'ts an alpha-tower. This in no way reflects what the final hardware will look like. they still got 2 years of development to go, guys. make it work, then polish it later.

I think its just the Dev version that looks like that,Im sure they will make it look nice later.

jtxshock Windows 8
Xbox 8
8 gigabytes of ram

Sounds real.
Windows 8 has been officially announced,the new xbox hasn't. Even if it has been leaked the real name isn't known. Xbox 8 is just a name people gave it like xbox 720
