blackcalx Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I get a Google logo. Certainly a fake. :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Drag the link into your address bar or go here http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/news/2004-0...2_scheme_bg.gif There's also an article here that says Microsoft wanted to release Xbox 2 during Christmas 2004.

blackcalx Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thanks for the alternate link, that worked fine. I cut and pasted the original link to my address bar and got the same result. Maybe it's an Opera thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 More info on the leaked schematic @ IGN "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation" -- but Microsoft's legal department requested that IGN does not reprint the schematic on its websites. While most signs suggest that the document is authentic and of high importance, note that it is also possible the leaked blueprint is an older document never meant for the public eye and that the current architecture of Xbox 2 is quite different. Hmmmmmmmm.... Three 3.5 GHz CPU's probably wouldn't have problem emulating the current Xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the diagram has been debunked: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page....me=dev&aid=3364 -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 If it's an "old" internal document, could that mean that the real Xbox 2 specs are actually more advanced and....beefier?!!? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'm curious as to why MS would not want IGN publishing that document. If it was in fact a fake, why should they care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'm wondering about the 3.5+ ghz processors. The X2 is supposedly using a varient the next in the PPC 970 family, right? The dual core PPC 980. The 970 doesn't scale to high mhz numbers all that well and is currently toped off at 2 ghz in a relatively expensive chip. Assume they release Q4 2005. Is it really feasable for three 3.5ghz PowerPC 980 CPUs to reside in a $300 game box? Will 3.5ghz PPC980 CPUs even be available then?

Dan B. Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Camp, it has been surmised by some folks that it might be a triple-threading single CPU. (however this document is not an actual Xbox 2 diagram, of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
