It was passed along to me that Xbox 3's current main GPU has 12 CUs and is clocked at 800 Mhz. Take that as you will.
Also, what do you mean "current"? It should be locked down by now.

sorry for being late to the party eventhough I begin reading this interesting thread since a long time ago, anyway this is my prediction (I will play it safe this time lol and return after with a more innovative predictions ) :
for the next xbox :
Microsoft this time will play it safe, not very expensive hardware, but very efficient, the console will be FULLY backward compatibe with every xbox360 and xboxlive games and applications + new kinect HD accessory that will be sold separately.
release date : december 2013
processor : a not very modified IBM power 7, 6 cores (dual threaded), 3.4 ghz
RAM : unified 3 GO of GDDR5 ram, 120 GO/s
GPU : VERY modified AMD 7000 series directx 11 GPU, with 2 teraflops processing power + 64 mo of edram at 600 go/s.
optical drive : blu ray, 6x
hard drive : it depends on the model, 500 GO, 750 GO or 1 TO.
Price : 499 $ without kinect HD, and 599 $ with kinect HD bundled.
For PS4 :
ps4 will be more powerful than next xbox, it will be released later on, almost 1.5 times more powerful. PS4 will be backwards compatible with all playstations before it (ps1, 2, 3) and all sony playstation network applications. Maybe some new accessory will sold deparately to fight kinect HD.
Release date : september-october 2014
processor : a VERY modified IBM power 8, 8 cores (quad threaded), 3.8 ghz, that could easily emulate the CELL.
RAM : unified 4 GO of GDDR5 ram, 160 GO/s
GPU : VERY modified AMD 8000 series directx 11 GPU, with 4 teraflops processing power but no edram.
16 GO of flash memory serving as a cash and also to install a difficult to hack upgradable operating system via internet.
optical drive : blu ray, 8x
hard drive : it depends on the model, 500 GO, 750 GO, 1 TO, or 2 TO.
Price : 499 $
^ Why do you sound so sure of that? And i would not classify Cell as being "better" for the returns.
if thats true than sony's ps4 would have a more powerful GPU. I stick to my prediction that sony would end up having "as always" the better hardware, hopefully this time around it is a lot easier to program for.
These components are nice, but they're not miracle workers by any means.
A big question remaining is how much better is each of these GCN CUs compared to the ones in Southern Islands. 12 CU at 800 mhz fits in nicely with the 1.2 teraflops figures floating around on the web, and with my prediction that Orbis GPU has 50% more CUs.
Also, what do you mean "current"? It should be locked down by now.
most developers agree that from an overall processing power point of view, the ps3 is absolutely more powerful than xbox360. But the xbox360 has a more efficient architecture and is a lot easier to program for.
Any news about SuperDaE twitter?
A few hours ago he posted again that plans to have a google hangout, he also emailed me telling me that one would take place soon.
Thanks, I wil wait for your news.
Rest assured, I am DaE and I am back, but anything information posted in my future posts will be legally checked.
