Can anyone compare Xenon with Xbox for me?

Using the supposed leaked specs as a guide, can someone compare and contrast the Xenon with the original Xbox, spec by spec if possible? How much more raw power will it have over its predecessor?



Or umm if its been done in detail before, a link would be nice :)

One bojillion times more power!!

Honestly, no one knows for sure yet, but the leaked specs are really fast.
 
I'd be really happy if it really did have three 3.5ghz cpu's, but I'd be even happier if the 256+MB of ram was just that, +!! (384 or 512)
 
Xbox 2 is 4 years ahead of Xbox 1 on the technology curve, which means it's roughly 4 to 8 times more powerful. (Moore's Law is 2x every 18 months) in each respect.

If you look at the rumored specs you'll see that:

CPU: 3 times as many CPUs
CPU freq: 5x faster (or whatever 3.5 / .733 is)
Memory: 4x more
GPU: Way faster
Hard disk: faster, larger, but maybe optional.
DVD: same capacity (Or bigger if they go with HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.)

Now if you're a marketer you multiply all those scale factors together and no matter what result you get you say it's a thousand times more powerful. :)

If you're a developer, you just take the average 4x improvement, and then derate by 30%, so you say it's about 3 times more powerful. :)

If you're a developer who needs a hard disk, you say the Xbox 1 is more powerful. :)
