jetrii said: Xenos is a GPU, not a CPU. I am assuming that you're talking about Xenon. And yes, every console this generation uses in-order execution, so I am not fully sure what point you are making. I fully expect the next generation to also use in-order execution to lower costs. It's not like Microsoft is just going to take a normal POwer 7 CPU, it will obviously be customized a bit. ?

Yes, I meant the Xenon. The point is that creating the Xenon from the stock PowerPC was not easy, nor was it cheap. You think MS will sink the kind of $$ necessary to reduce the Power7 core to console levels next gen, when they are probably going to shoot for the Blue Ocean, and not the hard core?
