2013 APU?You won't see that in nextbox then,and even if it use juguar,you tell me how can jaguar=A10?

Btw,sea island is HD8xxx

A10 is simply the classification in the line. The steamroller (the one I think is plausible) will have an A10 model, just as the current "trinity" line does.

360 launched in 2005 and contained 2005 CPU/GPU configurations. 

You know the top model of juguar still call A10(in 2011 top model was A8,2012 was A10...well)?still use HD7660D?People discussed about HD7660Dver A10 is because it's top model of A10(Trinity) right now,plus juguar's product will call Kabini/Temash,btw,juguar just from neogaf's discuss,not even from any news

And so where is sea island in your comparisons?you read the news right?The lastest rumor about nextbox not even talked about APU,why ignore that?and even we don't really know is PS4 really use HD7660D,maybe better

There is nothing concrete. I stated in OP that its based on rumors and logical speculation.

I've changed it numerous times based on discussions in this thread and people explaining why I should include this or remove that.

Nothing in the OP states its fact or otherwise. Its all to be considered to be taken with a grain of salt until its confirmed and I state that as I have with some of the WiiU information.

Some rumors get blasted big time by not just me but many others, so I don't put that there. Based on the discussion that MS has switched to AMD AND knowing how dev kits are created early on vs final specs... it makes a lot more sense that the reason they are going for AMD is due to the APU technology... not a separate CPU and GPU combination. Hell, its even more likely that its an APU plus a 2nd GPU in a crossfire configuration than two separate chips.

Its been demonstrated numerous times in this thread and others that a very high-end CPU plus a very high-end GPU simply makes no sense when you consider the costs associated, heat dissipation in a small enclosure, wattage necessary, etc.

That is why I when I heard the AMD rumors... and considering this early dev kit likely has an overpowerful CPU so it can emulate the GPU and other features... I think it makes more sense to have the high-end APU, similar to Sony's rumors. More than likely both ending up with some kind of Steamroller configuration and/or trinity A10 with 2nd HD6XXX GPU.

Could I be wrong, hell yes and that will come out as dev kits get leaked with more final builds. But when many people here and devs on gaf talk about tech that is all right around what I currently have in OP... I think it makes a lof of sense and has a lot of support.

However, I do feel justified in putting a 'or' in the 360 columns to show the bigger CPU option as well as a note that a real HD7XXX standalone GPU could be there in that case. But, I think that is the lowest possibility at this point when you really think about it.
