Matches with all the recent leaks...

According to VGLeaks, the next Xbox has an x64 8-core CPU @1.6GHz and 8GB DDR3 + 32MB ESRAM. Site promises a similar reveal for Orbis.


Another day, another round of rumors regarding next-gen consoles.

Now, site VGLeaks claims to have the final Hardware specs for the next XBOX, codenamed 'Durango'.

First off, here's the "Durango system block diagram":



And, here's what's inside the box, according to them (matches with all the recent leaks on the net):

CPU

• x64 Architecture.
• 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz).
• Each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache.
• Each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache.
• Each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources.
• Each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock.

GPU

• Custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor.
• 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads.
• Each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle.
• At peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second.

High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present.

Storage and Memory

• 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s).
• 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s).
• From the GPU’s perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec.
• Hard-drive is always present.
• 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive.

Networking

• Gigabit Ethernet.
• Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.

Hardware Accelerators

• Move engines.
• Image, video, and audio codecs.
• Kinect multi-channel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware.
• Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing.
So, remember that all the above are still rumors, as there's nothing confirmed yet.

VGLeaks also promises to post a similar reveal for the PlayStation 4, codenamed Orbis, very soon. Stay tuned!
