About the Xbox 360
The X box 360 console will be the first
next-gen console released and will fuse
powerful hardware, software, and services to
provide a dramatic leap forward in
high-definition gaming and entertainment
experiences.
The key technical specifications of the
console are unlikely to make much
sense to any but the most technical. But if
a custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three
symmetrical 3.2GHz cores, a 500MHz custom
ATI Graphics Processor with 10MB of embedded
DRAM and unified memory architecture of
512MB GDDR3 RAM and 700MHz DDR doesn’t mean
anything to you just consider this: with
specs like that the Xbox 360 is already more
powerful than a £2,000+ state-of-the art PC.
The Xbox 360 will also have three USB
slots and both HD digital and standard audio
visual outputs, which can pump out games in
widescreen at 720p and 1080i resolution,
complete with anti-aliasing functionality.
This will result in much higher resolution
games than ever seen before: the beginning
of the HD (high definition) era.
