nsane.forums Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 More information of the purported power of Microsoft and Sony's next-generation gaming consoles has leaked following yesterday's report regarding the power of the upcoming devices.New information purported to reveal specifications for Microsoft's next Xbox console and Sony's next PlayStation console have been released today following yesterday's rumors regarding the power of the next-gen consoles.According to a report by Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, both the next PlayStation console (said to be codenamed Orbis) and the next Xbox console (Durango) will make use of AMD's Jaguar platform and will also each feature an eight-core CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz. Orbis, Digital Foundry says, will feature a graphics card comparable to AMD's Radeon 7970M. The website was unable to acquire information regarding Durango's graphics card, but it did say Microsoft refined "DirectX 11 for a fixed hardware gaming platform."While much information wasn't revealed about Durango, Digital Foundry does claim Orbis' graphics card and CPU will reside on the same silicon chip. Digital Foundry says the above video is comparable to what the next-generation consoles will likely offer.Digital Foundry also corroborated yesterday's report that Orbis will feature 4 GB of GDDR5 RAM while Durango will feature 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, with 512 MB and 3 GB, respectively, reserved for each console's operating system. The Digital Foundry report slightly differs from yesterday's purported specifications, however, in that VG247's report claimed Orbis would reserve 1 GB of RAM for its operating system.While Digital Foundry was able to provide some information on Durango, its report didn't reveal anything about the rumored Xbox set-top box or rumored 7-inch Xbox Surface tablet. While little information is known about the latter device, it's believed the Xbox set-top box will be revealed at the same time as Microsoft's next-generation Xbox. Microsoft's Larry Hyrb, Xbox Live's director of programming, recently hinted at an E3 reveal for the company's next-generation Xbox plans on June 11.

nuthut Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So, if I am reading the article correctly; I could, in theory, build a hybrid Xbox/playstation all in one unit out of one console?Develop a boot loader and a large enough hard drive to support both game systems.... That would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
