Especially wit nextbox sporting 8 core processor, 8 gb ram and a top level 7970 GPU.

If you really expect the nextbox to sport a 7970 you will be disappointed. That thing uses +200 W at load, way to much for a home console.


No AMD have created some chips which use low level watts but have great comeback gains still.

Its heavily rumoured these are for  the new consoles.

If you are talking about the new 8xxx series, then I agree that they will use less power. But even then, the 8970 will still use more than +200 W.

I saw a chart somewhere that showed 2 version of 7970. With one being 110w.
