well probably bullshit, but seems about as realistic as half the rumours in the OP, and more likely than some

"What we know is that Durango development platform is finally running on AMD hardware, as the company taped out GPU which will be in use for the Xbox Next console. The initial Durango XDK (Xbox Development Kit) featured an 8-core Sandy Bridge processor (SNB-E, LGA2011 on a custom motherboard with embedded memory), 8GB of DDR3 memory and Nvidia Fermi-class graphics (GTX 570). The new kit allegedly comes with 8-core FX processor, and Southern Islands graphics, with the final console allegedly featuring Sea Islands, AMD's second generation 28nm GPU hardware."

lines up with this at least http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-the-curious-case-of-the-durango-devkit-leak

Aren't Sandy Bridge-E CPUs 6 core rather than 8 core?

And replacing it for an 8 core FX processor which uses more power, runs hotter and gives less performance even with 2 more cores... it is a bit odd. Sure, it's cheaper, but it's still odd.

About the GPU, a Nvidia GTX570 gives about the same performance of an AMD HD7870, which will be on par with an HD8770 Sea islands GPU?

I don't know what to think. Yes, it looks very powerful, but also quite expensive.
