You have so to speak the same socket 2011 as with desktop/workstations, but as I could read on websites the socket is changed for an incompatible one with same amount of pins for Haswell.

And it was featured in an apple console running android. Might as well go all the way.

What about the gpu ?

Sounds stupidly expensive, especially the CPU part and a tablet sounds like any typical "counter move". Also, why two types of memory? Save some cash and simplify the component list and mobo. A 256 bit 4 GB pool of GDDR5 seems like the way to go, unless eDRAM makes a return, in which it could be reduced to 192 or 128 bit without too much concern.
None. It's not a leak, it's someone making fun of idiots who spread it. There is nothing in it that makes sense.
It does if you factor in the 348bit memory interface.
I thought we put this mindless collection of "specs" to rest already a few weeks ago?
Embarassing moment to share.
Last night I dreamt that Sony revealed their dev kit at a conference that I was attending. It was a ginormous PC that contained 3 GTX 680s and crap loads of rams and cpus. Best part was that it was armored and had tank treads for mobility. It was probably capable of defusing bombs and crushing competitors with its treads.
For some reason I believed it all and thought that there is no way MS can beat this monster with the latest kit.

It's garbage. Already been discussed; you're late to the party.
Sounds a damned site more realistic than some of the rumours.Embarassing moment to share.

I kept thinking in my dream about all the stuff I know and heard about the Durango in real life and I was like after all that effort...
Totally a topsy turvy dream.

The first product based on HMC will go into production in Q2 2013 and will be a 2GB memory cube, made by four 4 Gbit DRAM chip. The bandwidth will be 160GBps and using a tenth of the pins of a 4 channel solution. I would wait for it, if I were in Microsoft. With HMC the cost reduction are going to be fairly high during the lifetime of the console, and with a large gap in performance too. (if each 2 GB cube has a I/O of 160GBps, it means that 8GB with a proper memory controller would get 640 GB/s?)
Let me dream for a minute.
SoC{16 Jaguar cores + 64 Mb of eDRAM + Improved Pitcairn} + 8 Gb of HMC ....

Why waste your time and money complexifying the system with eDRAM if you have >500 GBps available from main RAM?
Depends if they have CPU/GPU's that can take advantage of it, no use having that much bandwidth if you have a GPU that runs out of puff when only utilizing 5% of the bandwidth.
Still at least consoles would start to become GPU bound every generation instead of bandwidth bound like they are.
