Like the previous article it wrote a lot of errors... the most notable the GPU/eSRAM clock... MS already confirmed 853Mhz so why he wrote 831Mhz? To fit his maths?

"There is obviously the Radeon GPU, something that sources say is somewhere between an HD6000 and HD7000 in capabilities and a fraction behind what Sony has in the PS4."

Why he is downplaying the GPU? It is obvious the GPU is far way better than HD6000... it is close to a HD7790 (Bonaire) with enhancements.

Really doubt its better than 6950 or 6970... but 6870 sound about right.

The HD6950 and HD6970 are still up to standard when it comes to playing todays game and pretty much anything, they still hold thier own for a last gen card, I'd rather Microsoft would have choosen these gfx card instead, but no.  Anything under the hd7870 and 7850, in fact, anything lower than a 7850 is for light gaming at 1080p, sub-1080p..   

Off Topic: The GTX 650 ti > -HD 7790  its a stonger card yet, is also low end for light gaming @1080p or lower.   

If I'm Microsoft I would not brag about the GPU by saying its been overclocked or anything like it, it may sound better for marketing reasons however, the GPU is "compared" not on par to a 7790, more like inbetween a 7770 and 7790. I ask, how slow was this gpu before the overclock and after the OC it can't equally match the performance of the 7790 an already slow gpu.... I would rather focus more on what the X1 can do as a unit instead..
