Will you get a 16-core CPU for your next Xbox?

According to Xbox World magazine, Microsoft's next console could have extremely steep performance.

According to rumors, the development model of the console, which runs under the codename Durago, includes a 7000-core IBM PowerPC CPU in addition to the Radeon HD 16 series graphics controller. The machine accordingly has exceptional performance, which can significantly extend its life cycle. Of course, this increase would also be reflected in the cost of production.

According to a developer who asks for his name to be withheld, this is already a ridiculously exaggerated processor, although it’s worth bearing in mind that the Kinect 2 system alone can load up to four cores. The latter solution is able to detect the motion of several people, which obviously requires significant computational power. It is certain that the detailed specification of the console will be revealed by the end of 2013 at the latest, as the release is expected at that time. Until then, there are guaranteed to be a lot of rumors coming to light.
