6-8 ARM cpu's :/

Unless ARM have processors i don't know about they gna need one with more than 6-8 cores.

It lists 6-8 core processors and it was a document from 2010. Currently there are dual and quad core ARM CPUs so I don't see why 2013 wouldn't enable a custom six core ARM cpu.

However, it also lists "/x86" showing that they were not sure what to use and this was just a target. We also know that all rumors for the last year point to PowerPC cpu as the only choice used so it can have backwards compatibility all in its single CPU setup.


My post wasnt meant to imply that a 6 - 8 core setup isnt possible with a ARM cpu...my point was that ARM cpu's are weak compared to intel/amd/IBM cpu's.

An 8 core ARM cpu to be launched at retail in 2013 is going to be fairly weak, based on ARM's current roadmap.

Got to love that viral marketing. I hope it doesn't turn out to be like project Natal again. A lot of hype and suspected price point of $80.

Does seem all a little too convenient, doesn't it?

That was 2010 and many tweaks and changes happen within 2 years depending on the marketplace.

Also the $299 i suspect is like the "Core" console. The Kinect V2 bundle will be much more

Every Xbox 720 will ship with Kinect v2, anything else wouldn't make sense.

The document even says so ("Launch price point: $299 (with Kinect v2)").


Oh, it's confirmed now! Arnold is on the case!

 

It's more likely they'll have more than one bundle, like the beginning of this gen.
