So, I read the GAF thread for this and I have to say this though. IF this turns out to be true (we'll only know after it launches and someone tears it down), I will be buying a 2nd console in 2014 when I see defect rate (or lack there of) for neXtBox/PS4. Because there is no way the console defined in the OP will be able to play all 3rd party games at that point.

I'll also realize NO ONE LEARNED A DAMN THING from this last generation. Also, if true.... it better be fucking priced at $250 or less for the a base version. At least in two days we'll know how good or bad the full OS/Online system is as well as pricing.

Surely there's 0% chance it's true; they're putting Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's  Creed 3 on it, those couldn't run on 3 Broadways.

Why not? 3 Broadways with increased clock speed and cache are easily comparable with a X360 CPU, if not a little better.

The ony thing that makes this largly implausible is that its not Power7. Everything else screams Nintendo practices and its in line with random secret 'devs' who've said its not much more powerful than PS360's CPUs.

However, its memory is not in line with random devs who've said there is a 'massive' amount, nor is the GPU the expected jump up based on devs saying its a good GPU that is quite a bit more powerful than PS360. Devs have specifically mentioned newer technologies that I believe would require something that would be similar to DX11 and OpenGL 4.x.

At first I'm 100% false on this, but reading the GAF thread in regards to who the source is as well as devs on that site... I'm now 90% on the false.
