superchunk said: Additionally, 8 cores is completely unnecessary for anything. Most PCs only have quad-core for a reason. Its not a damn server. 4 or 5/6 cores is more than enough, even if you consider Kinect needing one core to itself; very likely. I'm betting on a 4core device with may a 2nd standalone CPU just for Kinect and/or OS. All 2011 (at best) tech and lower specs than high-end current PCs. |
Next ms console will release in 2013, I think. 360 had a lifecycle of 8 years, do you think that 9 years from now 8 cores would be unnecessary?
How much do you want to bet?
