When the Xbox 720 release date arrives, gamers will get a console design featuring three times faster than the second-gen 360. Under the hood, the new console will feature the following tech specs: AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, Direct3d 11.x 800MHz GPU, and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.
Processor wise, Microsoft is currently debating between two options - use six or eight ARM cores or x86 cores clocked at 2GHz each with 4GB RAM. These would be put alongside 3 PPC cores clocked at 3.2GHz each to enable backwards compatibility with current Xbox 360 titles. Earlier speculations have also hinted at a quad-core Intel processor.
It may take till 2014 to get 2TB hard drives, uber fast CPUs and state-of-the art graphics and sell at $400.”
Xbox 720 Launch Games?: Next, we have Xbox World Magazine’s October 2011 issue #109 with some juicy rumors. The magazine claims that the Xbox 720 launch games will include Gears of War 4 and Forza Motorsport 5! Their “The Insider” column reads: “what are id Software doing now that Rage is about to ship? Doom 4, that’s what. Don’t expect it for this gen, though. It’ll be Xbox Next for sure. And what of Xbox Next? Well, the Insider hears suits at Microsoft are already lining up the launch games – and they include two monsters: Gears of War 4 and Forza 5.” CVG adds: “We hear a number of Microsoft-friendly developers are hard at work on prepping next gen games as we speak. Could this be the reason why Remedy are so quiet about Alan Wake 2? (Yes). Rare, Lionhead (Fable 4?) and Turn 10 all have teams in place too. Rare, we hear, are even prototyping ideas for a new mature title.”
