Gamespy Reveals Xbox Next Specs

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-spicy-meatball dept.

Gamespy's reporters have been on the ground at the GDC, and managed to wrangle specifications for Microsoft's upcoming next-gen console. From the article: "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."

    From TFA:
    The Xenon is an extremely impressive piece of hardware. It will allow gamers to see things like complex lighting in gameplay, amazing details through high-level shading (impeccable clouds ... incredible textures...).

    WOW! All that, plus superlative superlatives!

      Offtopic when he quoted from TFA. Way to go whoever modded that one. You've set a new low.
