You cannot really compare custom chips with what we have for the pc. But it looks like a custom Cape Verde build, think HD7770 or HD8760. Tech-wise, because of rapid improvement, the machine will look outdated when it is released, but that is not the point of consoles. They are meant to be efficient, compared to PC gaming. I read somewhere that only 20% of the processing power of a GPU is currently used for most games. Instead for optimising codes, developers have opted for raw power, which is understandable because OSes and manufacturer dictated this path. |

As always, one should take 'leaks' with a grain of salt; after all, the possibility of them being the bait for a latter-day analogue of Operation Mincemeat always exists (and would be hilarious). Keep in mind, too, that 'anonymous' or 'secret' sources are at best difficult to properly vet. This said, I will put forward my opinion on a couple of the rumored 'features':

comments: thanks Orth, now i dont have to worry about owning a Durango anymore. "Deal with it!" durango needs permanent connection in order to play games. if you disconnect for more than 3 min., you're screw and cant play anything. no thanks, Xblock 720.

^ >_______>; not something you want to joke around with. i guess he's retarded or something.
but i do like his "Deal With It" motto. i think it should be the new meme on the internet from now on. anyways, it still doesnt change the fact that Durango will require always online to start games and play. pretty stupid and dumb in my opinion.

This will still sell to the casual crowd, but for how long they can run on that kind of audience will remain to be seen.
Very happy to be a Sony fan currently. I mean, the "SOCIAL" bullshit is precisely that but at least it's not an integral feature of the system and will probably be discarded within a couple of years... |

Before Simcity, I was prepared to believe Microsoft's silence is nothing to worry about. Now? I interpret radio silence as them having something to hide.
It doesn't mean 720 would be always online; it does mean Microsoft is seriously considering it. Which means now is the time to make a fuss, so they have the leeway to change their mind without embarrassing themselves.

Not to mention his account now going private. By shutting up, he can't answer question and thus cause the rumour to snowball. He can't delete his posts now that they are already spread over the net. He might just be in a meeting with his bosses right now on what they are suppose to do about it.
