Insider: Congratulations on getting married....m
Well I guess you realise the unjustified hate sony has spread throughout the industry, has had a huge impact on Microsoft and its xbox brand. It has seen ms hardened up on nda and even resigned some of the bosses in control of xbox. The last 4 months has been to risky to contact you.. with the stricken rules... I would have risked way to much. But the best way to let you know the truth was to work harder then I ever have. The people behind the xbox brand stand buy the truth we do not play media games with sony... the pudding is in the mix with regards to how powerful said box really is. And credibility is out the window with sony. The games and devotion that xbox has with the one. Is even more a driving force then with windows. .. the games will speak for them selves. The xbox one is extremely powerful and it really does pack the graphics raw performance of the high end pc markets.... And it is more powerful then 1.85tf .. the people why think it is
1.2/3 are fooling the selves. I expect a few well known forums to start putting out the trash.... Hotchips will show enough to prove that sony have lied...
w2wapu + dgpu 680gtx level gains...:) and a new designed ddr3 hsa+ gcn2.0 + :)

Misterx: In other words Xbox One specs have not changed since Febrary 2013(APU is a system SoC that VGleaked and dGPU is application SoC - 2x8950 level GPUs tapped together) and Xbox One is a 5TF paper beast with optimisation and other new tech will equal to PCs 5TFx2=10TF. Here is a link about what w2w is about http://misterxmedia.livejournal.com/114613.html?thread=1524661. Some pictures from the link:

Is that why forza has baked lighting and no weather effects? ◔_◔

Did you see the part where this dude claimed that because of such crazy strict NDA's, developers are forced to show a crappier version of their game and can only show the full glory after September 29th or something?
Still probably all hogwash, but interesting if even remotely true.
If MS did pull off something like this, with a discrete graphics chip hidden in the final designs, it would definitely help explain the $500 cost and would give them a much more powerful and long lasting system. However, it would also mean they would still be losing $100 or more for each launch console. I guess that's not much different from the 360 when it launched though. And assuming no RRoD incident, they'd still be on track to finally put the Xbox Division historically in the black and then some!
Eh, this is all just crazy wishful thinking, though.
