Bloomberg: Next Xbox to Use AMD-Based CPU
More evidence of the system's Jaguar-based CPU.

Rumors of the next Xbox's use of an AMD-based CPU have been circulating for months, and now, Bloomberg is lending credence to the claim. According to the news organization's anonymous sources, the system will utilize a chip based on AMD's Jaguar APU architecture. While the report offers no additional detail, it falls in line with purported specs leaked earlier this year, which claimed the system would utilize a 1.6GHz 8-core AMD CPU.

If true, the next Xbox would be comparable to the PlayStation 4, which Sony has confirmed will use an 8-core AMD processor based on the same Jaguar architecture. Whether or not Microsoft's silicon will outpace the PS4 in terms of clocking speed or number of cores, however, remains unknown.

The news follows reports earlier today that Microsoft is planning to reveal its next console at an event on May 21st. With just over a month to go, more pre-announcement leaks seem likely. To catch up on all of the latest next-gen Xbox rumors, check out our wiki guide.

Pachter thinks that Microsoft might lead the charge to improve the broadband infrastructure in the US because of their entertainment strategy with the next Xbox. (at the 11 minute mark in the video)

Interesting thought. It would be great if something got the ISPs to get off their asses and provide better internet services at better prices, but I'm skeptical that the Xbox would be enough to be the catalyst for such a change.

I know it's for an entirely different argument for a different day, but why does our Internet suck such dick here? Why is it that Thailand has Internet speeds that mushroom stamp ours?

Not enough of the right people voicing their opinion about it.

And you know about who I mean because the conglomerate that runs the shit KNOWS that the mountains of people who want to watch stupid cat videos, porn and stream movies will pony up to continue to do so.

Had a brief discussion on it in the Google Fiber thread

Just ask MrBill, it's cause they can't afford to it. How else are they supposed to make billions if they have to spend it on improving old infrastructure? Insanity I tell you!

I just speedtested last nite. 60 down 10 up. Seems sufficient.

it is, but that's well beyond the national averages in our countries. We also pay damn near the highest on the planet for Mbps:$. Paying something like 6-7$ each, many countries are 30% of that.

You gotta look bigger picture, having awesome internet is great...playing people with shitty internet brings you down to their level.

You want everyone having better internet because it's better for you.
