If Xbox 720´s cpu is an ARMx16 cores... i wouldn´t call this a beast versus a 4 steamroller cores CPU...

I think if we want to get an idea about sony's ps4, we sould look at psvita. if we look at psvita, we can conclude that ps4 would be a very powerful console by any standard.
but rumors are talking about 4 Gb for nextxbox VS 2 Gb of RAM (surely higher bandwidth) for ps4. Hopefully sony would choose 3 Gb or 4 Gb for its ps4.
Nearly every dev out there would much prefer less and fatter cores, though.
This was true when Xbox 360 and PS3 were released (in 2005), but things have changed since. Most big developers have moved away from architectures that are based on one thread, one task paradigm (separate graphics thread, physics thread, game logic thread, etc). Big developers now use (or are rapidly migrating to) scalable data driven architectures that process small fine grained tasks/items (*). These systems do scale almost linearly to larger core/thread counts (without any, or very small, changes required to code).Can't see them wanting more than 4 cores/ 8 threads.
what's better 2 gb ddr5 or 4 gb ddr 3 - 4 shared ?
data driven architectures
The big problem with data driven design is interactions. Making a lot of things do something in parallel is very easy when they don't need to talk to each other, but when you want to be able to look at other things in the world to decide something, you need some kind of synchronization, and locking just kills you. You can make it work, with more functional design (double buffer the world!), but that is kind of incompatible with the OoO design paradigm. I'm personally a huge proponent of FP, but I can't really see a lot of the programming world do the switch.
AMD Fusion SOC
8 Core CPU
512 SPU GPGPU
8GB main memorv

1536 SPU 28nm Cayman
1024 mb GDDR5 video memorv
french toast, are you seriously trying to suggest DDR4 is coming in 1.5Gbit or 3Gbit chips? Or are you trying to suggest some sort of mix'n'matching like nVidia did with different sized memory modules (which IIRC wasn't such a great success in benches?)
Against 4GB DDR3, 2GB GDDR5 is just much better. DDR4 blurs it a bit, because the fastest available GDDR4 would start to get reasonably close to "slow" GDDR5 at the time of release.
Well up to this point I think the leaks would give Sony a pretty good idea to gauge at the kind of performance in a nextgen xbox. Seems like Sony can take this as an advantage to finalize their PS4.
The 64 alu does look to be a typo, after all they refer to xenos as being a 48 alu ....it wasn't it was a 48 vec 5 unified shader....240 alu... I bet this was done by a team with sketchy knowledge of hardware components getting shaders and alu numbers mixed up

Guys what's that http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/18/fresh-microsoft-leak-details-xbox-tablet ?
They talk about a tablet but the specs are good for a home console, what do u think ?
Tdp 380 watt ;D
