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.

Don't really know much about graphics or anything of that nature, but it seems like its at least somewhat of an improvement over the current Xbox.

Seems like they are really trying to out do the PS4

AMD HD 8000M


It should be able to run BF3 on medium/high at 1080p - if higher according to some online benchmarks.


The current Xbox runs BF3 at medium quality, if it's not that much of a jump in graphics, I don't see a reason for making a new console..

I don't see why you need so many cores on a console. It's not like there will be extensive background apps running and I doubt a game will be able to utilize all 8 cores within this generation.

onebaddeck this may sound dumb but here it is. i think they should put the GTX 690 in the new xbox. i mean it would future proof.


No such thing as future proof

From reading this, if any is true, this will be awesome! Can't wait, although probably won't be able to get it. D:

I can't wait until they reveal it!

That sounds rather interesting, hopefully when it is revealed at E3, this "leak" is legitimate. Cannot wait for E3.
