Rumor - Next Microsoft Console to use Graphics Technology on par with 2009 Standards

Quote :

The next-gen Xbox's GPU will derive from 2011's AMD 6000 series, similar to the Radeon HD 6670, which supports DirectX11, 1080p HD, multi-display output and 3D, IGN reports, citing sources close to the project. Mass production of its GPU will begin at the end of 2012, IGN says, with a full-console launch scheduled in October or November 2013.

With these specs, the next Xbox will have six times the processing power of the Xbox 360 and is expected to support performance 20 percent greater than Nintendo's Wii U, which is using the R770, a chip that is competitively stronger than the GPUs of both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Previously uncovered Microsoft resumes listed gesture and voice input, which suggests some form of Kinect integration will be present in the coming Xbox model.

For reference the Radeon 6670 was released to the public in February 2011 but is horribly made and, in benchmarks, fails to seriously outperform cards like the 4850, the model used in WiiU, which was released in 2009.

See this is what happens when people connected to PCs try to make consoles. Just another reason why sony and the console in general is greater then PCs

I suppose it might be able to run current games at 1080p, that's an improvement.

Well honestly graphics are at a point where i barely give a crap assuming they stay at the good range of this gen and never go backwards. 1080p support for all games would be great though.
