An AMD-what? CPU or GPU? If I had such a devkit, I would post HD pictures of every inch of that thing.

BG and Steviep proven right yet again.
yeah, he says: "also for the record it's AMD, i never said it ONLY had 8gb"
also, the windows programme that he has a capture of, is that not really easy to fake? forgive my naivety, i'm pretty clueless with this stuff.
Yeah like that time he guaranteed the 720 would be out in mid-2012. Or the time that he said that >4GB was a fanboy pipedream. Or the time that he said that Halo 4 would be a cross-generational title.
Very easy to fake.
Also "only 8 gb" lol... I can understand 8 of DDR3... its double the density of GDDR5... but MORE than that is absolute crazyness. The board complexity at 8 is one thing, along with the heat output... but above 8? Nope.
plans can change?

So 4gb gddr5,i5-2500k level cpu and an underclocked gtx 680 equivalent gpu is possible within $450 at retail with ms taking a loss?
Rumors are high amounts of Ram in xbox3, so it's not GDDR5, as that would be very expensive, unless they went with a split pool... would still be very expensive if not more than just going with DDR3.
Not i5, this rumor says "intel atom" which is (apparently, dont take my word) comparable to AMD's Jaguar. The Jaguar is the rumored PS4 CPU.
The usually impartial mods got so tired of him that they gave him a tag so that other posters would not continue to be mislead by him, that is how bad the mods think steviep is. The fact that people still listen to him after him being constantly wrong and having that tag is completely baffling. He's claimed to have insider contacts for a long time yet he hasn't divulged anything of value, that should tell you all you need to know about him.plans can change?
Oh ok,so to keep the costs down the final unit may have 2gb gddr5 vram+ 2gb ddr3?does that sound possible with the aforementioned specs without going over $450 while taking a loss?
Has anybody taken into account that Microsoft might be going for a console that does cost 600-700 dollars, or maybe even more? I know there is a lot of debate about the large amount of ram v the quality of the ram.
I mean, do we have any record of how popular the $99 subsidize plan has gone? Has it has been successful or not?
The possibility is there that they may launch hardware that costs 600-700 dollars, but have it be subsidized on a 2-3 years plan....$200 bucks up front, 25 bucks a month for 2 years, and requiring a yearly xbox live gold subscription for those two years.
They recoop all their hardware cost.
I would love to have a 600-700 bucks console, that would mean they have cut no corners and made a beast console. People buy 600 buck iPads, I'm just sayin.
same, but I would just pay it all up front lmao.
Problem is, is the ones that care about power & graphics are in the minority of the entire gaming world. The average consumer doesn't give a damn about graphics & power, they just want to play games (& average consumers makes up about 90% of the gaming world every generation).
It's amazing how quickly you've leapt to the Saturn's defense after trashing the Cell (...)
PSX it's a better console hardware.

The Intel Atom is a former Netbook and now tablet spec CPU.
I knew that much but I wasn't sure if Jaguar was notebook spec, as opposed to netbook or tablet.
Low performance.
If that's the case then why do the best selling core titles usually have such great graphics? If the average consumer didn't care then couldn't they get away with awful graphics and still sell millions? Or is the 10% driving that market?Problem is, is the ones that care about power & graphics are in the minority of the entire gaming world.

Did he really predict the first and last things? I have never seen him talk about that. I know the ram thing was because no one thought MS would use slow or split ram.Yeah like that time he guaranteed the 720 would be out in mid-2012. Or the time that he said that >4GB was a fanboy pipedream. Or the time that he said that Halo 4 would be a cross-generational title.
I'm in. Where do I sign up.
I love PC gaming buy why does every single god damn game have to reinstall directX just to play. Plus the constant updates with drivers and the worry that it's going to break something.
Give me a closed box any day.

That isn't even necessarily true anymore. Consoles have basically doubled the fanbases for games like Skyrim, Battlefield, and now Minecraft.
I can see both Sony and MS launch 2 SKUs at $400 and $500. I don't see either really going as high as you think, that just wouldn't work.
Skyrim and Battlefield are not PC-oriented games anymore. Skyrim had the worst UI known to man and Battlefield lacks the Commander mode from BF2. Minecraft has still sold much more on PC, even with all the hype. Even so, Skyrim PC outsold the console versions in the US according to Bethesda (source: PCGamesN)
I think it would work if they wold it as I said. $200 bucks up front, $25 bucks a month for 2 years.
I can see a lot of people, especially casuals, be suckered into that.

Yes and Yes.
Also some great gems about the leaked specs before the PS4 launch in fall 2012.
Edit: I don't come into these threads just to call people out by the way. But it's really annoying to see the same handful of posters for the past 18 months making spotty predictions, and then shouting everyone else down with condescension. If you don't have sources, it's quite easy to present your opinion as just that, opinion. This particular poster has been of the opinion that MS and Sony's new consoles will be released near or alongside the Wii U, and only be marginally more powerful. Nearly everything that's happened this year (and nearly every current hw rumor) has contradicted that stance.
If Intel is building an 8 core CPU, the cores would look alot more like Atom than anything in the Core line.
iPads are on a whole different level when it comes to the consumer. a $600 to $700 console is almost a sure fire failure.
Intel could easily build an 8 core i5 if they pulled out the GPU there would be plenty of space to have 8 cores on the same size chip
If they pulled out the GPU?
the built in graphics processor on the actual CPU chip
But looking at that graphic, there certainly doesn't look like enough room to fit 4 more cores. Thats even considering the retail you would gain from 22nm.
Well I can definitely see MS offering a contract deal like they are now for the 360. They will still offer a standard cost though for people who are willing to pay it.
Oh yes, definitely, completely agree.
I just think it will be the way to get not only the gamers that are willing to spend 600 dollars on a console at launch, but get people that aren't that dedicated and willing to spend that much money up front.
It's basically a marketing ploy. Take one home for $200 bucks up front and pay measly $25 dollars a month for the next two years.
Most consumers, not all, are short sighted and probably would not see that they are paying more in the long run, or, they just won't care. They will have the latest xbox and that's good enough for them.
