Viper, I´m very curious, I haven´t been up to date with the info, so what´s been 100% confirmed?

Some OS features, Media, Display, Controllers, and Other sections are pretty much all confirmed.  

It's time to update the rumored Xbox specs again!! The rumor going around says it has 8 g of RAM - pictures have even surfaced. I'm on the phone so I can't be bothered to post a Link, but head over to ign.com for the rumors and pictures.

If true, what would this mean for Nintendo?!

Complete waste and one of the reasons I call the rumor BS.

Here is the article ....

Since this is the devkit it doesnt sound that absured for it to have 8 or more gigs of ram since devkits usually have twice the ram of the retail release in order to accomedate debugging tools. 

@Viper I hope it's BS!! Haha or else WiiU will suck balls! But 8GB does sound like A LOT!

@Google: Yeah that's true, but doesn't 8GB RAM sound like a lot? The console would end up with 6GB - don't you think?

4/6 gigs of ram probably and I believe 4 is definitely possible. The bigger problem with the article is MS choosing to work with Nvidia, the guys who screwd them over with the original xbox but I guess its plausible since MS is using Nvidia chips in their surface tablets. Not to mention B/C being problematic. Its very unlikely for MS to choose Nvidia and Intel over IBM and AMD. 

I have seen some talk of them using DDR4, which I would have thought that would be a tad lacking on the bandwidth front. Currently DDR4 is available at 4Gb, with a shrink down to 30nm next year. Do you think that it would be a viable choice? Assumiung they are using a large chunk of EDRAM for framebuffer.

@ Google: I agree; 4GB seems more plausible alright - but that would still be twice the RAM as WiiU supposedly has, wouldn't it? Perhaps it'll go to the integrated kinect the nextbox will have? As for your discussion about which card they'll use, I'm sure you're right - I don't have a clue :p

You'd need 16 chips @ 4Gb to do that. I would personally say that is likely doable as they likely intend to transition to stacked memory anyway.
