Sounds like a BEAST if true. On a side note, why are they all going with ATI's new architecture when it seems from the PC perspective at least, Nvidia's latest offering is actually stronger?
Because Nvidia screwed them over.

Don't tell me people are actually believing this shit?
16 threads in total maybe, but cores?
Xbox 720, $2000 confirmed.
Durango can be phonetically spelled as "Do-rango". I think you're on to something!

Well, in the movie Rango comes up with that name when he reads "Durango" on the label of one of the bottles in the saloon..
and yeah, also "Do Rango !"

breaking news, its running quad videocards in SLI
I am starting to think that Sony and Microsoft are releasing these rumors to prevent us from getting the real facts.CONSPIRACY.
Well, people were saying they should make next gen consoles future proof right?
Maybe by 2018 or so 16-core CPUs would be the norm >___>
My tennis partner's cousin worked there and he would spill things all the time :lolThe oddest bit to me is this Crytek employee apparently Tweeting that he was at a "Durango conference". Seems like something the NDAs would forbid, i.e. it's bullshit.
Far ahead of gaming PCs? Really?
Don't believe this for a second.

People are ignoring the most important quote in OP: PS4 is going to be more powerful than 720.
It's going to be on the market for a long time so they have to take some losses initially, but I don't think it's going to be absurdly expensive like the launch PS3 was. Most people should be expecting a $350-$450 price point for both MS and Sony's consoles.Hope you like expensive consoles. Both MS and Sony rumors are a bit worrying and sound like they have learned nothing.
I think the rumors are some sort of secret war trying to force the other party to respond in panic to what is otherwise a lie. We are the civilian casualties.
Yep.
I'm still waiting for PC-Gaf to post and shit on these specs as barely comparable to current PCs.
Could you elaborate?
Nvidia ensured Microsoft wouldn't make a profit off the original Xbox due to them not selling Microsoft the chip design patent or something. I'm sure someone else is much more knowledgeable on the subject.
Do we even know which 7000 series card they are even looking at?
Then watch the RAM being the limiter again.
And with Sony?
Could you elaborate?
In any case, HUGE contracts for ATI here. Whatever happens in the PC realm, having these next gen consoles armed with ATI GPU's is going to be a humongous earner for AMD.
I have hard time believing that both MS and Sony don't have spies of their own that tell them what is going on behind closed doors. I mean so many people are involved in a project that takes years, impossible not to have a mole.
So these rumors are probably more about magazines, sites getting hits. Not saying that there isn't some true to them, but 90% is probably nonsense. Or maybe rumors are spread so that big guys see out reactions.
MS will surprise everyone and make a console less powerful than the 360.
The PowerPC A2 is a massively multicore capable and multithreaded 64-bit Power Architecture processor core designed by IBM using the Power ISA v.2.06 specification. Versions of processors based on the A2 core range from a 2.3 GHz version with 16 cores consuming 65 W to a less powerful, four core version, consuming 20 W at 1.4 GHz. Each A2 core is capable of four-way multithreading and have 16+16 instruction and data cache per core.

Ms probably asked someone to do this article to generate positive press until reality settles in....
I want all these rumors to be collected into one list and made into a bingo board for when the consoles launch.
