LOL there is no way the Xbox 3 will be running 7000 series ATI hardware. Its not even feesable. If development kits are going out now, then they've been working on the architecture and customising the GPU for a good 12 months, making it 6000 series at the most. Which in itself is still more powerful than the WiiU and way more powerful than the Xbox 360. Its also a whole lot of unneccessary overkill. The 7800gtx in the Ps3 is an ancient old dog of a GPU that even now pumps out Full HD goodness on the Ps3 and runs Crysis 2 beautifully. Put Crysis 2 next to an actual 7800gtx and it'll grow legs and run. Console hardware doesn't need to be anywhere near as powerful as PC hardware to pump out great graphics due to the lack of multiple hardware configurations and DirectX. A console with 7000 series ATI Gpu would run every game for the next 5 years in 5760 x 1080p on 3 screens at once with full AA, without breaking a sweat. It'd also be the size of a server case to keep the damn thing cool. I call shenanigans on all this BS.
