I don't think IBM has a 28nm process.

Really?
I mean, as a novice engineering wise, at a glance at the components I would say thereabouts or higher? But I'm not sure about that at all. It seems too good to be true.
It's not IBM.

My word. Those launch games are going to look stunning.

So i guess they are going with 1 type of ram, mostly likely DDR3.
Easiest way would be a dedicated SOC with 360 specs. Emulating is going to be hard. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Maybe devs can compile Durango builds of the executables so they run on the new HW? (And maybe even increase IQ in the course) could that be possible?

Yes really, I came here for information, not for some tool to make smug 'i know more than you' comments.
I was talking about the Windows 8 part & no the rumors of 8GB of ram is not much older than that because the post was made when the rumour 1st came out what you posted was Crytek saying that they needed 8GB of ram & back then Gaf was laughing at them & saying they was crazy.
Crytek wants 8GB of RAM in next-gen consoles
See my post there? that's even older saying that next gen Xbox should be at 6GB if released in 2012.
Lets hope so, i dont want to give 400$ and get a mediocre system, i prefer to give 200$ more and get a super system
After it will probably last me 7 years and wont have to buy anything else hardware wise
Same happened with xbox 360, i could even play Witcher 2 there and still not have to go with PC upgrade for almost 7 years, it is incredible

Want to build a custom gaming PC for raw power, but hopefully these specs are accurate because next gen consoles would be all I need.

With rumored specs like this it could almost emulate it.

That's my theory. 32nm SOI would give better power numbers, it's just a more involved and expensive manufacturing process. IBM also has plenty of embedded ram IP for 32nm SOI.

From some of the emulator scene, emulation of a 360 doesn't look to be hyper difficult. And if you have all the information. It would seem to be a no brainer. Including SOLID business sense. I heard it was in, from my source, but then heard it wasn't from someone else who has been right for the most part. Very shady stuff concerning the BC.
MS Payment plan is going to do a killing on these I think.

I'm looking for this quote:
As for the mentioned specifications, I think they are not up to the mark for me to be able form a reasonable opinion. Inclusion of 8800 Series could of course be nice, but with it being certainly not COTS there's really not much to say. For the RAM, 8 gigabyte is also nice but it's the same thing as with the GPU, without knowing the type or configuration (or if it is in an SDK context only) I'm not getting very excited just because of the amount.
Of course, there are many comments on here that are much more elaborate than those from the Chinese forum, but still I don't think I'd be able to do any greater analysis of this justice with the information present-at-hand. Anyway, it's nice to see more and more information starting to "leak".
ekim posted it in the original source. I translated the TGFC site using Google Translate, but I couldn't find the quote. Was it removed or am I looking in the wrong place?

Still back then i don't think most people were thinking DDR3 if that is what MS going with .

Maybe they're Nintendo fans?
you'll last long here. no need to be a dick, especially towards people offering up info that shouldnt be public.
as to your question - read between the lines. that particular poster has virtually said its 8. others have echoed that.

as impressive as the 360 BC with XBOX emulation (on a software level) I really hope that the new xbox does not have to go that route, but i'll take what I get as long as there is something.

The information is all over this thread. It's in the thread title, its in the posts. How much more info do you need? You need to relax, dude.

Ram wise? Or everything?
Is it normal for MS to deliver devkits that overpower by a significant margin the final product?

alpha kit specs posted last page - sounds like the current kit performs at least as well overall.
Karak

He posted them a bit below that post.
It is normal for kits to be delivered that can hit a particular performance point taking into account that custom silicon will remove some of the brute force needed by early dev kits.
I think the last quote I saw for edram required for something was actually far smaller than most assume. Somewhere around 300mb(though that is big for edram compared to the 360). I could be wrong but I thought someone on Beyond 3d did a nice calculation.

What about bandwidth. I mean it's cool it's got 8GB of ram, but what about bandwidth? Unified or discrete? Will it be Xbox 1 all over again in which the GPU is bandwidth starved because of the CPU, will we have eDRAM again? How much?

Are you mclovin it now?
At least he wasn't being an ass though. Mistakes happen. But yes reading the OP...generally good advice. Unless it isn't in the OP?!?

*Sigh* Too much gamer logic.
Specs are awesome... $599! OMG... teh FAILZ! UBER EXPENSIVE.
In reality: Xbox 360 launched with cutting edge hardware for $299.

As I said in the other thread. Some peeps getting peep shows pre-during-post CES and will begin leaking.
Planted leak by MS to keep the steam box hype low. Idk
Full circle bro, tree of life.
