yay xbox2 stats have been officaly announced, rumors has it, that ps3 will be way more powerfull, but that dont mean shit.

 

 

CPU - Xenon's CPU has three 3.0 GHz PowerPC cores. Each core is capable of two instructions per cycle and has an L1 cache with 32 KB for data and 32 KB for instructions. The three cores share 1 MB of L2 cache. Alpha 2 developer kits currently have two cores instead of three.

 

 

GPU - Xenon's GPU is a generation beyond the ATI X800. Its clock speed is 500 MHz and it supports Shader 3.0. Developers are currently working with an alpha 2 GPU. Beta GPU units are expected by May and the final GPU is slated for a summer release. The final GPU will be more powerful than anything on the market today; in game terms, it would handle a game like Half-Life 2 with ease.

 

 

System Memory - Xenon will have 256 MB of system RAM. Keep in mind that this number should not be equated to typical PC RAM. The Xbox has 64 MB of system RAM and is a very capable machine.

 

 

Optical Drive - As many have speculated, Xenon will not use Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. Games will come on dual-layer DVD-9 discs. While the media is the same as that of the current Xbox, the usable space on each disc is up to 7 GB. The drive is slated to run at 12X.

 

 

Memory Units - Xenon will use 64 MB to 1,024 MB memory cards. 8 MB is reserved for system use, leaving a 56 MB to 1,016 MB for user data.

 

 

Hard Drive - As many have speculated, Xenon's hard drive is optional. 2 GB of the drive will be used as game cache. The final drive size is still being determined.

 

 

Camera - Xenon will have a USB 2.0 camera. It's capable of 1.2 megapixel still shots and VGA video. Photos can be used in-game and for gamer profiles. The camera can also be used for video chat. It's unknown if the Xenon camera will allow for EyeToy-like gameplay. Developers are currently using a simulated camera driver.

 

 

Sound Chip - Xenon does not have an audio chip in the traditional sense. Decompression is handled by hardware, while the rest of the chores are handled by software. DirectSound3D has been dropped in favor of X3DAudio. The former was deemed too inflexible.

 

 

 

 

All games have to be xboxlive supported, which is kinda cool, but i never was a big fan of xbox-live, just really over hyped. It comes with a digital camera, so u can create ur own profile with pictures and the games u played and beat and awards u won. Backwards compatible of course. Hard drive you have to buy seperate which kinda sucks. Xbox2 is going to be a dream machine for any gamer, but I am still more excited about nintedos revoultion, which suppose to change how we play games, and nintedo does keep there promises as we saw with a nintedo 64, and there analog stick, which did change how we play games since every console this days has a analog stick.

within a matter of months, there will be a working linux distro for this, and people will create server farms out of xbox 2's.
The camera sounds like an interesting idea for Xbox Live. I expect that to be abused very quickly.

After the way PS2 broke 60,000,000,000 times, I'd go for Xbox 2.

lol i was thinking of that comic when i read this post.

Everyone knows that the Revolution with pwn all. Gamcube is teh win this generation in price to performance and overall kickassness of games.

 

Can you guys honestly think that the consoles will have a 3GHz processor in it that is more efficient than a P4 or A64?

 

A pentium 4 at 3.0 GHz costs 200$ alone, a power PC chip would cost even more.

 

And putting all that power into a processor is a waste, I rather have a 1.5GHz machine (XBOX is only 733MHz) and a much more kickass videocard and even more ram. The place where consoles are weekest is their horribly low resolution textures. If I could get some high res textures on there, it would own all.
