I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I saw a couple times that the xbox 720 has a dual gpu.

PROCESSOR AND GRAPHICS - updated 26/03/13

As with the PS4, the Xbox 720 looks certain to use AMD graphics hardware. VG247 reports that multiple sources have confirmed to it that the console will use two GPUs in tandem, it goes on to say that these won't be used in the usual 'CrossFire' configuration seen in PCs. We're not sure about all this as complex hardware architectures have been the failing of many consoles in the past, as a simple architecture is easier for developers to get to grips with quickly.

In any case it's the RAM that really matters if the ps4 is using 8 gigs of memory, you can bet xbox 720 will at least match that.


Hmm this is not very likely. Dual GPUs would need higher memory bandwith to make sense. Apu+GPU+8gb GDDR5 north of 200GB/s Kinect HDD etc.. Would make for a big and expensive console. Its not impossible though but I don't see it. The majority of rumors point to 1.2Tflop 8gb DDR3+32 MB Esram. 

Its not impossible to slap on another GPU or make a dual Apu system but it would definetly not be cheap. Wasn't the Dual APU Design called Yukon and MS decided against it ?

 

Personally I would love to see  MS to go all out again and make an unreasonable powerhungry beast but I don't believe that they will do it.
