As a continuation of the conversation about PS4[1], the previously rumored Xbox 720 specs that were conservative (AMD 6000-series equivalent GPU with dual or quad-core integrated design) may be invalidated by the latest leak, more specifically:
1. Dual, independent AMD GPU design
(can render two scenes independently -- not Crossfire
which splits 1 scene across multiple cards)
2. GPUs will be based on AMD's latest high-end 7000-series
tech.
3. 4 or 6 CPU cores; 1 dedicated to Kinect.
4. I assume: integrated Kinect device.
5. Always-on internet connection for anti-piracy/DRM.
6. Blu-ray drive
There were rumors a few months ago that MS was considering a no-disk device, but as other people have argued, we aren't there yet.
