Xbox 720 will have dual APU

[daze23]

That power brick is gonna be even bigger than last gen.

it'll probably have pointy elbows too

Probably. Do not want.

Dual APU's for what?? Faster kinect motion processing?? 24 player matches in Halo Extend?? Shinier weapon skins in Gears of War 5?? Dual APU's won't solve the problem of lack of variety.

Dude, a ps3 is like $99 used and $199 new. Those exclusives can be found in your nearest bargain bin at your local Gamestop for cents on the dollar breh. But even then you still might be overpaying for those crap titles.

Have fun breh.

Crap titles? Lol.

What 360 exclusives keep you coming back for more?

I'd much rather play those games which are critically acclaimed and in abundance than Gears which hasn't been good in almost half a decade or Halo.

 

[daze23]

the "exclusives" argument has been done to death already

so does this mean it will have more processing power and run smoother and faster? or be able to run more complex games? or both?

No. APU run off of ram. The nextbox Ram is not Gddr5, so 2 APU to process graphics is redundant and would overkill the Ram. Pretty much a worst problems than the PS3. This would make the nextbox difficult to develop for 3rd parties and would push the system cost. If they do this, they would be making the mistake Sony made with the PS3. If they want to fully utilize the dual APU efficiently, they would have to up the Ram to 8gb Gddr5 or up their ram from 8 to a much higher number. If they did, you will be looking at a $599-$699 system price..A system that would still be less powerful than Nvidias..

Another dude talking about shyt you don't know. The type of ram used and the amount of ram used aren't interchangeable concepts in order to "fully utilize a dual apu efficiently" gddr5 only offers and advantage for the gpu side of things. Ddr3 is better for use on the CPU side of things. If a ram change is needed it would be to add more of either type. In this case the type of ram doesn't matter, but the amount does.

The Ps3 had ram bottle necking issues due to the amount of ram, not the type.

That's a game changer right there. And Microsoft can sell the console at a bit of a loss and get money back from Live.
