XBox 2 Specs leaked (again, but this time "Official"?)

I got this from another forum:
This time it's from the Dev Leader at Xbox:
http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=6994

More info on Slashdot:
http://games.slashdot.org/article.p...11&threshold=-1

The XBox 2 is called "Xenon" and will be smaller than the XBox 1:

CPU: A 3-core (on one die) 3.5+ GHz IBM PowerPC processor w/SMT and 1MB L2 (accessible by the GPU, no less)

GPU: 500+ MHz DirectX 9.0+ part from ATI, 96 shader ops per clock cycle, 4+ gigapixels/sec, 500+ million triangles/sec, 10MB EDRAM

RAM: 256+ MB of unified memory with 22.4+ GB/sec bandwidth

Misc: all audio done on the CPU, 10/100 Ethernet (no wireless?), USB 2.0, VGA out (!), 12x DVD, undecided on HD but definitely as an option.

Pretty meaty system there - can't wait to see what Sony does with the PS3. VGA out is pretty slick, but why no DVI out?

And if you haven't heard, XBox2 will NOT be backward compatiable with XBox 1 - it's now been "officially" stated (up to this point it was rumours):

Also, the Xbox will sell for $99 this Christmas:

Vicman, MS announced that the backwards compatibility wasn't official. Gamesindustry.biz is just making shit up. This was in responce to that article:

“Recent stories in the press about future Xbox products are nothing more than pulp fiction. Microsoft hasn’t made any announcements regarding the next generation, so it’s far too early to speculate about specifics, including backward compatibility. In fact, this media conjecture is irresponsible. The credibility of any publication willing to compromise fact in favor of a catchy headline must be questioned. Xbox fans are smart enough to distinguish truth from sensational reporting.”
Click to expand...

Also maybe they are planing on making a HD Pack with a DVI this time instead of componant like I got.

Also everything below "I got this from another forum:" is someone else's shit not mine I was just cut and pasting the thread to pass the info.

OK I found the quote from TXB through a google search.
 
Re: XBox 2 Specs leaked (again, but this time "Official"?)

Well you always need a link to support a quote but no biggie.

I have no clue what any of the tech stuff means. Interesting, though, to see how Microsoft will counter Sony's blueray format, as that's been all but confirmed.
As far as hardware is concerned, I believe "Xbox 2 and PS3 will be very similar when it comes to power so it will be the games that will be the major factor. For me, whom ever lands the Shenmue series, Splinter Cell, and Tecmo will make the difference.
