Report: Next Xbox to Sport a 16-Core CPU
« on: April 13, 2012, 01:59:43 pm »
If you haven't had your fill of Xbox 720 rumors and speculations, new reports of the Durango's internals suggest some heavy hardware for Microsoft's next console.
 
Via Computer and Video Games, the latest issue of Britain's Xbox World magazine reveals that developers received Durango devkits last month, purportedly packing a 16-core IBM Power PC CPU and a GPU similar to AMD's Radeon HD 7000-series graphics cards.
 
The alleged devkits do not sport the console's final appearance, although the sources were confident that the hardware within are consistent with what we can expect to see when the Xbox 360's successor is released late next year.
 
Although the thought of a 16-core powered console makes us salivate in anticipation, this information (as with most rumors) should be taken with a grain of salt. Video game consoles aren't typically equipped with state of the art, up to date hardware and, while we can dream, this news seems a bit far fetched.

Whilst I own a console station, ya, a few, they remain an enigma to me. Whilst they hold a large market share, they remain obsolete in terms of technology being used. PC's out strip console in terms of performance any day of the week.

If we're talking desktops I wouldn't disagree, not for laptops. I've built many desktop gaming systems, including thermal refrigeration systems, hence if you want the best you build it, desktop.

Laptops are a different ball game, once upon a time if you wanted a good desktop replacement there wasn't a lot of choice, Dell XPS, Alienware, MSI, Voodoo etc. All these systems has + / -  but overall Alienware gave you newest technology in the market into a laptop without compromise, unlike all the other manufacturers. When Alienware introduced 64bit op systems, with sata drives,, and new core cpu's others we're still living off promoting Ghz as the bench mark, but using old generation chips, and slow hard drives, etc. 

I've owned XPS, Alienware, and an array of other systems, and to date my six year old Alienware laptop rocks with the newest of systems in the general market.   

2.53 CPU
8gb DDR ram
1920x1280 screen. Hmm very nice, apple quality..
Dual xfire ATI G-cards, 1gb ram. 

Considering it now an old girl in computer years, it's still a great machine....

i think laptops just arent the way to go for gaming ?

they cost a hell of alot more then desktops

generaly you can have a laptop to the same specs as a desktop and it will cost more.

Laptops just overheat soo much and with in a month of 2 become un realiable

deskktop trumps of gaming laptops anyday of the week in my opinion

Totally agree, if you want to play seriously then you need a top performing machine. This can only presently be achieved by desktop systems.

Laptops fulfil a hole in the market for those like myself who travel alot. General laptops graphic wise, are very poor. Hence like alot of marketing ploys you gotta buy all the bells and whistle to get a machine that has a quality screen, and graphics.

I have both :)

iPad II

Alienware 17"
- This I normally leave where ever I'm located versus humping it around all the time.

Yea laptops are sucky for gaming.

I have Toshiba Qosmio G50-127 which runs farcy 2 on max settings but kills the whole laptop in general

And I had a Toshiba Satellite X205 which ran ever game smooth to the bone but unfortunately the computer got too warm and some internals damaged the motherboard. Now it's dead :(

This just goes to prove that there are certain laptops for gaming but they don't run very well. Thus desktops are so much greater.

It's that odd addage, you get what you pay for?

My Alienware to date, has run every game I've installed on high graphics. It's never faultered once. I will state that such engineering, doesn't come cheap. Forget the average laptops, and the wannabee sets. I've owned them all, it doesn't compare to an Alienware.

Alienware rules all basically. Nothing can compete that's why they're so pricy compared to other gaming laptops and desktops
