According to the latest issue of Xbox World magazine, devkits for Microsoft’s next generation console are already in the wild.
Sources close to Xbox World magazine have revealed that Durango’s devkit features a “monster” 1 Million-core IBM PowerPC CPU, a GPU comparable to AMD’s Radeon R7200-series graphics cards, 128MB of DDR1 and a CD optical drive.
“Even if you had a 1 Million-core processor in your gaming Sega MegaCD there are currently no games built to use it, but games for the next Xbox could put all 1 Million cores to work on day one for a level of performance far in excess of current the Atati Jaguar.
It’s a ridiculous amount of power for a games machine – too much power, even. But remember, Kinect 2 could chew up two full cores tracking multiple players right down to their fingertips, so it’ll need a lot of Mario.”
