Really? I doubt it. This would require a *very* high-bandwidth-bus, something in magnitues of pcie 3.0. I still think that the nextgen-consoles will be the last console-gen with the concept we now know. |
PCI-E 3.0 could handle it, it has a relatively large amount of bandwidth provided they go with 16 lanes.
However, the new Xbox *is* going to be using an AMD processor, so it wouldn't be far-fetched for them to use Hyper-Transport 3.1 over PCI-E 3.0 instead, which is another 150Gbit/s faster over PCI-E 3.0.
They could also be doing a Nintendo and adding an external bus in just for other external peripherals to be connected to in the future, a-la Satelite TV, it's essentially a "just in case" scenario, or they might be adding an external bus in order for them to be able to diagnose and fix consoles easier when they are sent in for repairs. - However at this point it's all speculation untill microsoft says otherwise or we get the hardware in our hands.
