World Exclusive: Durango unveiled!

Is 4GB DDR5 > 5GB DDR3, in practice?

I don't get the 3GB for the OS aswell! Maybe Xbox3 OS will allow ppl to jump between games, features like skype, internet browser, etc without loading times.

Yes. DDR5 is much much faster.

I know it's faster, just asking if it turns more efficient in practice? To give you an example, PS3's memory is also faster than 360's, but the fact 360 has slightly more memory available and uniffied one, proved to be better for games.

I find it funny how PC gamers are so quick to dismiss these specs. Games like Uncharted 3 and Gears of War 3 are running on hardware roughly 1/5th of the power. The biggest flaws people have said with this current gen was the lack of RAM, slow disk read speed, and outdated GPUs. The CPUs are actually still fine for games, it's everything else that's the problem.

If those specs are true the jump is going to be quite noticeable in terms of size and scale of games. Graphics will never see a massive leap again. We've kind of hit the point of diminishing returns for graphics on the PC and the consoles weren't that far behind the PC this entire generation.

Games like Planetside 2 and ArmA 2 could easily run on those rumored specs, and those are some of the largest, and most complex games the PC has to offer in terms of tech requirements.

With consoles you have a ton less overhead and their architectures are much more efficent. This allows them to get quite a bit more performance out of what seems to be a weak machine.

Going by these rumors Durango will be about 6x Xbox 360 and Orbis maybe 8x.

My i5-2500k @ 4.74 Ghz says bye

what video card is it rummored to have 6 series 7 series or whatmetal_zombie

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="Blazerdt47"]

8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)

I'll never understand why Microsoft decides to dedicate 3 Gigs of RAM for it's OS, that leaves 5 Gigs DDR3 left, compared to 4 Gigs of DDR5 RAM for PS4. That's a substantial lead.

x64 architecture and a proper out of order CPU (assuming)? Yes please.

4GB DDR5 is significantly greater than 5GB DDR3.

Not only that but 3GB dedicated to just the OS is ridiculous. I sense heavy Windows 8 integration as well.

Rumors unveiled !

If this is true then the next Xbox is not going to be very powerful. Hope this is false.

It's basically just a leg up from the 360 specs.

But you are right, I'm not a professional and maybe the devs can do good things with it. I'm sure it will be able to do good looking games.

By the looks of the specs it could be something like this sample/prototype 7850

16x more ram is just a leg up from 360's specs?

Don't know what you're talking about. Xbox 360 hardware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And there is more to a system than RAM.

These specs show at least something around 6X the power of the 360. :|

YOu're talking about the guy who argued that Morrowind looked the same as skyrim and wondered why his integrated gpu couldnt handle pc games. It's a lost cause
