Pfftt, no Bluetooth or 802.11ac or ad? Seems like pretty poor and shortsided networking considering that this year phones are going to start to get 802.11ac as a standard. No word about any wireless display technologies either?

I'm impressed with the graphics core speed, 800Mhz is getting on being pretty fast.

12 shaders on a 6000 series GPU clocked at 800MHz? For comparison, the 6970 had 1536 shaders and it was clocked at 880MHz... which easily OC'd to 1GHz.

Only SATA II as well on the SB. It's probably 768 GPU cores, given the number of threads, maybe a 16-cell chip harvested down for yield reasons. Lack of L3 might hurt things, as may lack of dedicated GFX RAM, unless that's what the 32 MB of little in the middle is for, but a decent overall system yield anyway.

Yeah so new hardware aside. What are these consoles going to do for gameplay? Simply making GTA/Elder Scroll maps larger so it takes longer to traverse for all those escort/fetch quests and a few extra NPC's thrown in or shiner cars in Forza/GT 6 along with vainer muscle men thirdperson shooty shooters...Does not, ladies and gentleman...make me the slightest bit interested. I get that they can take advantage of these up'n coming 4k t.v's, but if devs are to busy trying to squeeze everything out of the hardware just for a pretty image on your new tv...what does that leave for actual gameplay? I'd be happy with DX9 visuals (look at the witcher 2 before bursting a blood vessel) with smarter and more life like AI along with deeper stories then a lame as 4k visual 4hr borefest.

Ah nothing actually ... Read the post really fast, so i thought you mentioned cell cpu ( IBM's cell ) ;p. But yeah its most likely shader clusters. Or something completely custom, which is unlikely.

Finally, some specs that make sense.

I really hope all these "narrow corridor shooters" will be a thing of the past being a design decision made by hardware limitations. Those games always make me feel like something is missing.

consoles wouldnt have the farcry, crysis , fallout, elder scroll games if that was true. hell zelda on the n64 had more moving space then black ops2 :P

This is just me expressing my dislike for what is compromised design decisions, large environment low rez textures or small environments high rez textures. Yes I am eager for change I just express it in a harsh way?

Some thing doesn't add up here They say 12 shader cores The AMD A4-5300 has 128 shader cores That make no sense at all

Probably 12 shader core clusters, each with 64 cores. Like Nvidia GK104 with 8SMX, each with 192 cores.

If this is true, or even partially true, it's a ton+ better than what the current XBOX has. I'm eagerly awaiting the release and I don't even own a console (nor will I buy one). I just want to see some PC games come out that aren't crippled (as much) from lousy console hardware. Maybe Xmas of 2014 will have some top notch "new gen" games on the market.

VGLeaks claims to have leaked the first 'real' and full next-gen Xbox specifications and details of the system overview with the general components and some technical details about them. The proce... Hardware Details of Next-Generation Xbox

All these topics are rumor till MS and or Sony actual say what specs are. Not that any piece of hardware MS make will ever make it in my house.

Ok then that should be 12 Compute Units / 64 Texture Units = 768 Stream Processors. If that is the case then that make more powerful then a AMD HD 7770.

Whatever the outcome is from all the rumors I know this at least: BETTER CONSOLE PORTS!!! FINALLY!! :D

sad but true there will be better console ports, then this gen but still in general will be bad ports, as far pc version goes. Porting from console to console should be identical, if rumors are true that both will use same architect in theroy anyway
