If these rumors are true then they probably confused 16 cores with 16 threads. To explain it means that usually (in what video games are concerned) 1 core can handle 2 or 4 threads of codes, for example: the xbox 360 have a 3 core processor and it can handle 2 threads per code, so in total it can handle 6 threads. If what I believe is true then the next xbox will have a 4 core processor that can handle 4 threads of code (so in total it can handle 16). I personally think this makes much more sense than a 16 core processor, because that's just ridiculous.
