I doubt we'll see a dual gpu in nex-gen... for some reasons already stated as well as the primary being cost.

None of these companies is going to make a system that costs more than $600 to build as they will want to sell sub-$400.

Ps3 proved that you cannot be a market leader or even a great success (face it, PS3 is not going to be remembered as a highly successful PS hardware) if you sell it for more than $400 or with a $200+/unit loss.

We will see 4-6 core CPUs (no more CELL stuff) and 2GB (maybe more) memory.... but I'd highly doubt there will be any dual GPUs.

It is just a prototype for dev kits the rumour says, so the final hardware would most likely  not be a dual GPU.
That shit isn't really for consoles.

January? damn that's close :D exciting

This thing is going to be hot.... literally.

CPU : IBM Power 710 

- Architecture : IBM POWER7 

- Cores : 6 Core 

- Clockspeed : 3.72 GHz 

GPU : Custom AMD Radeon HD Graphics 

- Configuration : Single Die Dual Core 

- Clockspeed : 750MHz 

- Daughter Die : Renesas Electronics 100MB eDRAM 

RAM : 2GB 512-Bit GDDR5 256GB/s (Unified Memory Architecture) 

Only 2 GB ram ? O_o

yeah very wired,6 core CPU+dual core GPU with 2GB RAM?even it's DDR5

RAM is a little low. That would probably be fine for a couple years but  id say 4 would be much safer.

Did they forget to also include that there'll be liquid cooling to keep the gpu from burning?

cool i will be able to use this as a grill while playing games :D

would work perfect for cooking mama!
