CPU : IBM Power 710 

- Architecture : IBM POWER7 

- Cores : 6 Core 

- Clockspeed : 3.72 GHz 

GPU : Custom AMD Radeon HD Graphics 

- Configuration : Single Die Dual Core 

- Clockspeed : 750MHz 

- Daughter Die : Renesas Electronics 100MB eDRAM 

RAM : 2GB 512-Bit GDDR5 256GB/s (Unified Memory Architecture) 

It's sad the only thing the new Xbox outclasses is my CPU speed.

Good thing those specs would do much more in a console than it ever could in your PC, eh?

Not really. Especially since the new systems will only support one monitor anyway.

Your crystal ball must still be working. Mine broke the other day so I can't see the future anymore.

All joking aside, you're wrong. The current consoles can even support more than one monitor, so why wouldn't their predecessors?

And what's really sad is that you feel the need to compare a full fledged $1000+ game rig to a console that will be under $500 and perform very similarly if not better at certain things.

Oh and by the way, these are rumors, not facts, so again, silly to compare right now.

My rig was 700. :P

Link me to where an Xbox 360 and a PS3 can support two monitors? PS3 was supposed to before it released but they got rid of it.

Anyway, consoles suck.

I have seen Forza 4 do this as well, so it may be limited to a few select games like this, but it is still possible. And you scored a 6 core intel processor, plus had enough to build the rest of your system for just $700? I find that hard to imagine unless you maybe went low on RAM/GPU/Power Supply, or aren't including the OS? I build computers as a hobby and even a side business, so while I suppose you could have a cheaper 6 Core AMD processor, you'd still be pushing it to get good quality combination parts and fit under $700, but I suppose it is possible.

$$$$$$$$$ costs more than a PC lol
