It's been less than a week since the last time supposed technical specifications for the next-generation of consoles hit the web, so it's high time for some more speculation surrounding the possible features and other technical bells and whistles you could find inside the box when Durango, Xbox 720 or whatever finally launches later in the year. That's assuming that the speculation thus far is all true, of course. The latest rumoured specs have the next Xbox sporting a dedicated Kinect port, an integrated 'Natural User Interface', an eight-core 1.6GHz AMD CPU, a 50GB 6x Blu-ray disc drive, a 500GB HDD and a whole lot more besides, according to a document obtained by VGLeaks that alleges to have the full tech specs for the next-gen Xbox AKA Durango. You can check out the full list of specs and a 'system block diagram' showing how all the technical gubbins apparently fit together below. Remember, this is all rumoured stuff however, and none of it's confirmed. CPU: x64 Architecture 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz) each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock GPU: custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present Storage and Memory: 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s) 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s) from the GPU's perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec. Hard drive is always present 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive Networking: Gigabit Ethernet Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct Hardware Accelerators: Move engines Image, video, and audio codecs Kinect multichannel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing Source - X360A
