Microsoft’s most popular gaming console that is the Xbox 720 will be shipped with two GPUs in a configuration that one source likened to taping two PCs together. The gaming console is now expected to ship in time for the 2013 holiday buying season, from VG247 has learned. The dual graphics configuration is expected to be equivalent to AMD’s 7000 series cores although it will not operate in the traditional Crossfire or SLI where the workload is split between two or more cards. Instead of that, Microsoft’s solution will be able to work independently and draw separate items at the same time.The next generation console will feature four or six cores, with one will be reserved for the operating system and another used to power the Kinect motion-sensing accessories. when Speaking about Kinect, it will be integrated into the Xbox 720 rather than as an add-on like the one which is used in the 360. Another change is that it require an always-on Hi-speed Internet connection as part of anti-piracy measure. Gamers without an Internet connection are seemingly out of luck. and we forget to tell one more thing that there will be one integrated Blu-ray player.
It would seem that next generation Microsoft Xbox rumours are being churned out at a rate that would rival the latest Apple gadget. Late last month it was reported that Redmond is planning to launch a Lite version of the Xbox in 2013 ahead of the Xbox 720. This budget console would use an ARM processor and could possibly to launch without a hard disk drive, so that the user have to depend on cloud storage.
Any way, we will have to wait until next year before we hear anything official from the Microsoft.
