USC Fan at NeoGaf posted this, it seems to add up:

Putting all rumors together is looks like they a using 2 SOC. http://www.fudzilla.com/processors/i...ct-run-is-real

So you get 2x 8 core CPU with 7000 built at 32nm.

2Gb per soc for 4GB total ram

You get 16 cores and dual gpu

I'm guessing the dual GPU thing is just for the dev kits though, they'll use something else for the final version.

If they going system on a chip approach, then not only do the cores act for the CPU, but wil be doing everything.  They had integrated memory.  Now they have integrated processing power.  This power would be used for everything involved and can be divided up as developers choose.  In doing this, Microsoft lays down a foundation for the future of their system.  The eat a decent loss per sale of console, and get it clocking in at $400.  Backwards compatibility will end up being there also, with their ability to upgrade current games as far as graphics go.  So the power would fuel Kinect and so on.  $400 gets you a system without Kinect with it (if you have Kinect, then you just hook it up to your next gen XBox).

It would be doable, and a large investment.  Still want to see what the full spec list will be.
