The next Xbox will ship to retailers in late October or early November of next year with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN. Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, our sources have confirmed that mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU. Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for DirectX11, multidisplay output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.

In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20-percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U.

Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system's final configuration in August. Projected pricing for the console was not provided.

Thanks to IGN for the quick write up!

Wow Tell Me what You Guys Think

any word on the final cost?

I believe this answers you question?

Everyone said PS3 would wipe the floor over the 360 and look what happened lmao.

Should be awesome.

Naw this still couldn't match the PS3. Big fancy numbers don't mean anything if they rush it like they did with the 360. Now I ain't trying to start a fan boy war or anything but they didn't mention anything about this in comparison to any PS product. 20% better than the Wii U? Only 20%!?!? That seems ridiculous if its 6 times that of the 360 cause we all know nintendo has there heads up there asses on making good systems. Hmm when was the last time Nintendo came out with a good system? Back in 91 when they came out with the Super Nintendo.

Your comparing the speed of a mobile phone (a phone which is released once every year) to a console which has been tailored for power over years of research, and is built to be used as a home entertainment system where as a phone is made to be portable and only be effective in tasks such as browsing and mail etc. Im sure that the new generation of consoles will pack more than a mobile phone which is released every year with a minor change each time.

I put the wrong emoticon in. I was being sarcastic with the xbox thing.
