Rumor: Xbox One to get 12gig of ram and gpu clock increased?
- Thread starter Smooth3d
- Start date
Doesn't matter if it has 16GB RAM, RYSE and the rest of the trash they showed at E3 will still be wack.
What ps4 games are you looking forward to

That xbox Dung is not going to sell well in 2014.
The future is not looking bright like people that arent intelligent.

Reading the article, and got to the 3rd bullet point
The Xbox One development team is asking for developer feedback on changes they would want to see hardware wise.
Why would MS be asking that question 4 months from release? not saying it isn't true but that is a big ass red flag too me. This system should be at some manufacturing plant, not in the ask developer phase, that should have happened in 2010 or 11. If that bullet point is true, I would not buy a XB1, because they did not give themselves adequate time to rigorously test the machine. Just sound fishy as hell too me.
Bingo. Any hardware changes at this point EASILY would force them to push the shyt back to next year.
"Oh yes. I completely buy into the idea that they will change the motherboard design spec for the retail box to have additional ram slots, or to change out ram chips they may have already ordered for other larger capacity chips, and to have them shipped to manufacturing facilities."
I'm not saying its true. But keep in mind that just because this rumor just now leaked to the Internet doesn't mean these changes haven't been in the pipeline for a while now.
Also M$ has never divulged full spec info so it's reasonable to say that the final specs could be different than what was leaked over a year ago

True, but at the May 2013 reveal a bullet point was 8GB of Ram. So bumping up to 12GB's is just like Rekkapryde said will require a lot of work at this point.
It wouldn't require a lot of work. Most things inside the system are custom anyway and it's feasable that they can add ram without changing the overall design much.
I wonder why the damn thing is so big. If the apu is so similar to the ps4s then what is taking up so much space inside that box. I think there will be some surprises, not necessarily attached to this rumor, but I don't think we know everything about what's inside the Xbox just yet.
Bruh, they never divulged full specs because they weren't better than the competition's. All they said was 8 gigs of ram (5 for games, 3 for OS as we found out). If the XB1 was truly stronger than the PS4, you think they'd hold back on bragging about their specs? Of course not.
Every XB1 rumor from earlier this year ended up true, but now we are supposed to believe that they are again changing something at the last minute?
we got the specs and board details. It's done.
The only plausible thing they can truly change is the GPU clockspeed, but even then, they just can't magically make it the same as the PS4 without a mobo redesign. Same with adding more ram. These units are being manufactured right now. To make a change like this would delay the system. Changing the mobo automatically delays the system, they just can't do SOME of these things without doing so.
MS execs have been in reactionary mode for a while now. I think delaying the system to increase it's power might not be a bad idea, but there's no way in hell they do that. MS doesn't have the worldwide brand recognition with the Xbox to catch back up to the PS4 like the PS3 did.
Just bite the bullet, and drop the price 100 bucks and keep Kinect in it. OR bring back the rumored subscription model, they gotta do something because this shyt will be a bloodbath this holiday season worldwide.
That big ass fan was to absolutely make sure RROD Jr doesn't happen. And you gotta remember that MS isn't a hardware company.
I believe they can overclock the gpu, but not to what the PS4 has (again, unless you change the mobo, which easily delays the system).
The ram thing though is a reach because these units are being manufactured.
so much stanary
Your gonna start getting the court treatment.
4 months to "release" and you making huge hardware changes is realistic....
keep your head in the clouds....
