12 GB de RAM (8 + 4)

Is false because a console doesn't even 3 for games play ultra settings.

This is a made up leak.

- 8 cores (x86 CPU)

Let's see if any tech people in here know why is is obviously false.

I'm not sure whether it is an awesome plan, or the most stupid one.

Just because it works for phones, doesn't imply it will work for home consoles.

Doesn't imply that it won't either, why not try it out?

Because if it fails, Microsoft is left with a strategic plan which consists of selling a 600$ console at retail.

In the other hand, I haven't said a word that it is not possible, and if it trully takes off, you'll see Nintendo in some sort of disavantage.

Why $600? Could be 400 or 500 or 350...

This is the Dev kit. The actual amount is 6 or 4... And high end games need 1-2gigs of Vram along with the recommended 4gb to play them on high settings.

8GB of RAM for the final unit? Damn.



Around the Network

Minimum system requirements for Far Cry 3 are 4GB of RAM (reminder that both Win7 and Win 8 use less than 512MB of RAM)
Epic, Crytek and Square asked for lot of memory. Crytek specifically asked for minimum of 8GB (and I would bet Epic wants that too, them being one that pushed Microsoft to increase RAM in 360)
As for 8 cores - bulldozers have 8 cores @95W TDP - if they use GPU similar to 7970m (basically mobile downclocked 7870 with TDP of 75-100W) I don't see problem with system's TDP, so why not...

Um this isn't PC ram this console Ram.  Console ram is customized and doesn't need 4 ram because it doesn't have to do 3-4 things the same at time while runing the game. PC runs general purpose like ram not like console. Please give me quote were Square/Creak asked for 8gb ram because I know your bsing because that would be completely overshot. The most they would as for is 3-4 ram because consoles don't need to run multiple apps at a time. When people say need 4ram to run ultra on fry  Cry what your saying is that much PC ram not console. Trying running skyrim with 2 gb ram with xbox360 chip on a pc at normal setting you will be lucky to get 10 frames per second and that's 4 times the ram.

Regarding  GPU please link to the GPU Specfic you think it will have in and then link me to Core you think it will have. Then I will show why it will not work.

Even with resources being put into the os and kinect this would seem pretty darn powerful to me.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

8 GB would mean 4 times the Wii U or 16 times the Xbox 360.

crazy shit.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
