not really look at amd fx 8350 "8 core" it gets whoop by an i7 3770k.

we are talking about pure gaming and cpu will be optimized only for that... also we have no clue about the true origin of this cpu neither gpu...lets wait and see...loading times and smoothness of xbox360 at general gaming thing was much better than pc the year it firstly appeared on the market...so... 😉

Most likely its made low power usage parts. No one will buy concole that sounds like circular saw in livingroom =) My original AMD CPU cooler sounds like that and i hate it.. But no money no funny =) I quess it will have 4 cores and somekind low quality integrated AMD 7xxx series GPU, cause console cant cost too much to build.

current AMD CPUs are not the ones unoptimized for games. They are optimized for multitasking in general, but games do not multitask that much ._.

This. As far as I know, having multiple cores makes it easier for the developers to assign specific tasks (like physics) to one core specifically.

You wouldn't want to do that because when the physics aren't kicking around, you've got a useless core waiting on nothing. That would be poor design.

let the speculating begin. I honestly dont care what they use at this point, So long as 1080p 60fps is the defacto standard. actual 1080p on HDTV you dont really need AA do to distance you sit from them 1080p on monitor another story seeing how close you sit to them,

I don't see much happening in the way of PC tech in the next few years anyway, we are well into diminishing returns, and for a res like 19x10/12 i don't see PC's offering much more, if anything over the next gen consoles if things keep using traditional rendering. PC gaming might be able to push the 4k TV thing though.
