It looks like specs for the next Xbox have finally leaked online as a whole, detailing how everything will be connected and used in the console when its launched later this year. Starting with the juicy information, the new Xbox will feature a 64-bit architecture, as well as 8GB DDR3 RAM and 8 CPU cores clocked at 1.7GHz. Yes, this will be one powerful console.
Of course, some of the details seen in this latest leak have been seen before, an example of this is the amount of RAM the console will have. Rumours have been saying for months that the new Xbox will feature 8GB of DDR3 RAM.
Full specs can be seen here:
CPU:
– x64 Architecture
– 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
– each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache
– each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache
– each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources
– each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock
GPU:
– custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor
– 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads
– each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle
– at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second
High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present
Storage and Memory:
– 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)
– 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s)
– from the GPU’s perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec.
– Hard drive is always present
– 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive
Networking:
– Gigabit Ethernet
– Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
Hardware Accelerators:
– Move engines
– Image, video, and audio codecs
– Kinect multichannel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware
– Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing
Of course, take the information you see above with a grain of salt, as it could be fake.
