Last week was a really big week for rumours of the new xbox, Some of the hardware going into powering the device was leaked this week.
Six times as powerful
This is reported by IGN so thanks to them, the new Xbox will feature AMD's Radeon tech powering its graphics. Specifically, the system will feature hardware similar in juice to the Radeon HD 6670, a chipset that offers DirectX 11, multidisplay output, 3D, and 1080p HD output with a market price around $79.99.
What this essentially means is that the system will offer raw processing power that is six times that of the Xbox 360, and 20-percent more powerful than Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. Also according to Scott's sources, dev kits based on the final configuration will be in the hands of developers in August.
Blu- Ray
As we know Blu-Ray is a very big feature at the moment being the latest craze, well its rumoured that Blu-Ray will be arriving on the new xbox which will vastly improve the xbox's capability.
No Used Games?
This is something that I'm unhappy with, the rumor is unconfirmed at this point, as are any specifics of how Microsoft would be able to prevent used games from working on the platform. Im sure many like me would be unhappy with this feature due to people like me wanting to get a game slightly cheaper will no longer be able to do so.
No More Microsoft Points?
Many gamers find Microsoft Points to be a system that almost always results in unused points and "spare change" that can't be used on anything else. This system has worked on platforms such as the Playstation 3 so this could be a change for the better
