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.

What are your thoughts on this?

xpureacidx I hope you guys know that graphics don't use the cpu at all. all this means that we could see 128+ man servers and better multitasking with the in game dashboard. just to through this out here but a i7 quad core beats a amd 8-core. its completely based on the integrity of the chip. and graphical quality comes straight from the gpu which i herd is a medium grade Amd gpu. i approve of the 8 gigs of ram because ram is cheap. 640GB storage is great because i would rather Download my games instead of going to the store, and HDDs are about 80$ no matter what size.the whole system would probably cost Microsoft about 500$, and if they are smart, set it at 300$ at launch. they'll make the difference through game sales and xbox live.

Yes actually it does your graphics could be great but if your cpu is bad then your graphics will be horrendous


Honestly, you two know nothing about computers or what the parts even do. Please educate yourselves before you make a fool out of yourself.


The second reply was wrong but I think he meant that if you don't have a good CPU your gonna be bottlenecked which is correct..However, I dont care how many cores this CPU has...It better not be some AMD-tpye crap that has 8-cores at speeds of 4.2 GHz but still run slow as hell
