I can believe in a new MS console for Fall 2010. It makes sense for MS to leverage DX11 as early as possible. With adequate RAM, PC ports/co-development shouldn't be too much trouble.
Six cores seems a bit much for the CPU, but I suppose it's possible. Another IBM based CPU makes sense, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see a quad core Athlon II 32nm (it would be about the same die size as the current CPU in Jasper and make cross platform development with the PC almost trivial).
On the other hand, 1GB of ram would be a bit of a letdown IMO; 1.5-2GB would be more appropriate. The GPU could easily offer an 8x performance increase, which is really where it's at for the next gen consoles.
I'm guessing Natal would continue to be an add-on for the 720/whatever.
