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.

CartmanisPhat Those specs are pretty pathetic considering this is the next generation console.


I don't know what specs are but I want the Xbox 720 to be really great! So far what I've heard of it doesn't seem that good...


It'll be better than 360 thats all what matters.

The specs are a pretty good improvement from the 360,but the 360 is what 7 years old. I think they could have done better. If you look through the article you will see the specs for the dev kit. the developers versionis supposed to have slightly better specs than the retail.

Amp_ So, it's basically a computer?


Nah they get the specs and use a computer with those specs. Plus they do the programming on a PC.

I can't wait for a 720, they've been abusing the current gen and are still making money. I remember Sony's sales were dropping, not sure if that was earlier this year or if it was last year. Microsoft is working on their new console, now Sony has to as well to also make some money. I hope and have a feeling it will be late 2013/next year. Xbox 360 was released late 2005, and PS3 was released late 2006. Damn!

Str8UPV0lt4G3 .... You know how easy it will be to hack the 720 now with it be basically a computer. Extremely easy


This is the reason Xbox has always been easier to hack, it uses the same coding as Windows/PCs...

Xbox easier to hack you make me laugh most of the actual xbox "hacks" are done with hardware modifications ps3 you can hack with a software update and dont forget where sony gets there operating systems from.
