Xbox 2 Specs
Gamespy has the scoop on the latest Xbox 2 specs from the Game Developers Conference.
-CPU: three 3.0 ghz PowerPC Cores
-GPU: next generation beyond ATI X800, clock speed of 500mhz
-Memory: 256MB of RAM
-Optical Drive: DVD-9 dual layer 12x speed. No HD DVD here
-HD: optional, 2 gig of it used for cache
-Camera: USB 2.0 1.2 megapixel camera
Microsoft is supposedly requiring all games to be Xbox Live compatible and HD 720p 1280x720 graphics capable. These specs sure look mighty tasty, however I'll probably wait for Playstation 3 which will offer HD DVD playback and better performance less than one year later. [Discuss]
