New XBOX 360 Information
There are two new rumors floating around about Microsoft’s next generation gaming console. According to The Inquirer, the XBOX 360 will come standard with wireless controllers. Hopefully the battery life will be improved as well. We can probably expect Sony to follow in the same path. The next rumor involves the XBOX 360’s GPU. Of course this information, just like the rest, is not yet confirmed, but here are the specs:
- 24 Pipelines
- 32 Texture Units
- 96 Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU)
- 192 Shader Operations per Cycle
- 700MHz Core
- 134.4 Billion Shader Operations per Second (at 700MHz)
- 256-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR3 Memory
- 57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz)
- 300-350 Million Transistors
- 90nm Manufacturing
- Shader Model 3.0
- ATI HyperMemory
- ATI Multi Rendering Technology (AMR)
- Launch: Q2 2005
- 16x stochastic FSAA
- FP32 blending, texturing
- Programmable Primitive Processor/Tesselator
As you can see, the next XBOX will have a very powerfull GPU. With performance higher than a Radeon X800, we can assume the XBOX 360 to put a very big dent on our wallets - that is, of course, if the source that reported this information is correct.
