I dont see whats wrong with these specs? It should make for a significantly more powerful console than the current HD consoles.

"Quad Core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip"

Hmmm it just says PowerPC it doesnt say what number but given the manufacturing process being 45nm i think its safe to assume that this is a 4 core Power 7 cpu. So even though its only got one extra core than the 360, its architecture is significantly greater than that of Power 5 (I think Xenon is power 5 based not sure might be 6 ). To put this into context, the Power 7 server cpu's are meant to compete with Intels nehalem (i7) architecture. Perhaps what they meant by being similar is that it is also apart of the PowerPC family.

"768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU"

I must admit this sounds a bit low...but just keep in mind this isnt the standard RAM you find in your home pc.

"Unknown, 40nm ATI-based GPU"

One could argue that the GPU is perhaps more important than the CPU and based off rumours, this gpu will again be significantly better than the one in the 360.
