Xbox 2 Specs

[shadow_tj]

the xbox 2 specs are there.
for who is interested

Below are the estimated specs of the Xbox 2. As soon as official specs are announced, you will find them here. These specs are very general, again they will be more specific once official technical details are announced.

CPU (Processor )
IBM-developed 64-bit chip @3GHz+, based on either:

New IBM PowerPC Processor
IBM G5 Processor
IBM/AMD Co-Developed Processor
AMD 64-bit (Athlon-FX51?) Processor, a possibility due to the fact that AMD and IBM are currently working together on future processor technologies

Graphics Chip
ATi VPU, possibly a variant of their up-and-coming R500 chip.

Up to 512MB Samsung GDDR2 SDRAM running @ 1600MHz
~51.2GB/s peak bandwidth
Vertex & Pixel Shaders 3.0
DirectX 10 APIs
~300 Million Transistors on VPU
HDTV support for resolutions up to 1920x1080

Audio
Dolby Digital 6.1
24-bit (DVD quality) audio
1024 channel audio
256 3D channel audio

Memory/Storage
512MB System RAM
100+GB Hard Drive
Dual-layer DVD (8.5GB) or Blu-Ray disks (25+GB)
128MB removeable flash memory 'card'

I/O Connections
4 x USB 2.0 controller ports
1 x Firewire (video & image editing)
1 x 10/100mbps Ethernet connection
1 x Optical-out for digital audio
2 x Additional USB 2.0 ports for add-ons

Too bad, when it'll come out, like all consoles, we'll have 5grz processors, haha. They're always just as good as pc's for a couple months, then die down. Ah well, 3grz means it'll be able to look better than halo on the pc.

I'm still saying Xbox isn't a console just a pc disguised as a console

Uh, who is estimating these? Based on what? Sources please..

Unless this is being released in 2006 or later, I think it sounds very unrealistic.

The Xbox isnt going to use a proccessor based off the x86 architecture, It's not going to be like the Xbox @ all.

And All we know is IBM is developing it. But it's not some apple chip or AMD/IBM spinoff, for whoever is thinking that,

The r500 rumors might be true.

[Bizkit]

Rumors are that ms will develop their own cipset for this baby. It was all over the net some days ago.

This could be said of any console that ever existed. Every console is based on a CPU, graphics and audio component. It just so happen that the Xbox uses components that can be found in PCs as well. I've never seen anyone calling the SEGA Genesis a Mac, yet they use the same CPU. Basically, a console is but a computer designed for one specific purpose: to play games. Ask any developper and they will tell you that desiging a game for the Xbox is not the same as designing for the PC.
