Although Microsoft remains mum on the topic, rumors concerning Microsoft’s upcoming next-generation home console, dubbed Xbox 720, continue to surface. On Tuesday, a report from

Club.TGCER.com arose which, apparently, reveals many of the technical specs of the Xbox 720.

 

According to a post from the

NeoGAF video game forums, which translated the original source, the Xbox 720 will house an 8-core CPU, a customized AMD 8800 series GPU, and pack 8 GB of RAM – for comparison, the Nintendo Wii U has 2GB of RAM.

 

In addition to these technical details, the report also mentions that the Xbox 720 will use Windows 8 as an operating system and come with a 640 GB hard disk drive – the Xbox 360’s largest HDD currently is 320 GB.

 

Microsoft has not formally announced the Xbox 720 or a next-generation home console. Despite Microsoft’s reluctance to announce the new hardware, there have been a number of reports that suggest Microsoft will debut the Xbox 720 at E3 2013 later this year with a launch in North America by the end of the year

windows 8 is already out... I'm using it as of this very moment... as for the CPU cores i believe the highest consumer amount is 6, but I would not suggest quoting me on that as I could be wrong. Haloman 2 has no idea what he's talking about so do not listen to him.

windows 8 won't come out for a while so this won't be for a while. it depends on when the E3 happens. if it happens before windows 8 they won't be able to make the 720. I hope both turn out well!

Windows 8 has been out......

AMD FX series CPUs and the Intel Core i5, i7 are based on 4+ core designs. The FX-8000 series being 8 core, and the Core i7 extreme, and 3rd generation Core i7 being 8 core as well. 8 GB of RAM is very mild for something that needs to last at least 5 years. 12 or 16 GB would be preferred.

 

The reason it would be based off of the Windows 8 OS is for cross-platform functionality: Xbox, PC, and phone. They want what Apple has, but they want to take it a step further and dominate all aspects of the entertainment scope as there are Win 8 tablets as well (that's what the OS is designed for -- mobile and tablet). Win 8 is optimized for touch-screen functionality so it would be interesting how that would apply as well.
