Video cards draw from 12V because that's what is available in quantity on a power supply. They still convert it to a voltage level well below 5V. If you think a GPU runs off 12V, you should go back to reading WIRED.
Am I the only one who can read this correctly. The games are not rendered at 1080p. The games were never rendered at 1080i either. The XBOX ***ONLY*** renders graphics at max 720p. And even at that resolution, many games don't even use antialiasing.
So what is being announced? The XBOX will resample each 720p frame into a 1080p frame. Big deal. If you own a 1080p display, it would have done this for you already. This is pure marketing hype.

360 - 720p, resampled to 1080p analog out
See, the 360 supports 1080p just like the PS3. It's exactly the same. Really, it is.
