PowerPC A2 is a 16 core 65 watt CPU.

It's very feasible MS could use the CPU.

It's also one of the 2 CPU's believed to be in the Wii U (either Power7 or PowerPC A2).

I seem to have to quote myself because you guys keep going on and on about a 2 8 core Power7's when there already exists a 16 core PowerPC chip.

This? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_A2

It looks specialized for different purposes than gaming, at least currently, but yes, I guess it proves your point.

They could also use a variant of this

but that is less likely

Agreed that it is less likely given that the chip is targeting networking and telecommunications services.
