Speculation has be flying around about Microsoft's next console release for months now. Will it be announced at E3? Will it's launch date be close to the Nintendo Wii U?
Today two new pieces of news are buzzing around the wires from various industry insiders.
The first from fudzilla, which stated "the power behind the next Xbox will be a PowerPC CPU that is married to an ATI Southern Islands GPU, or modified 7000 series.". It seems that the System on a Chip (SoC) has gone into production.
The second piece of news come courtesy of IGN, claiming that the new Xbox will be six time more powerful than the 360, and 20% more powerful than the Wii U. The GPU is predicted to be similar to the Radeon HD 6670, and offers multi display output, 3D and 1080p HD output.
This all points to an announcement this year at E3, and a launch date landing around October 2013.
With Microsoft expected to reveal their new console, and the Wii U it's line up of launch titles, one can only imagine that Sony will need something up their sleeves this year. Will we see the announcement of the PlayStation 4?
