Developmental machines are reportedly created to show the performance level of the final product. However the power may be too much since current high-end games played on PCs are using four cores despite the availability of six-core and eight-core hardware, which raised some questions on the sixteen cores that will be featured on the Xbox 720.
The supposed use of a sixteen cores on the Xbox 720 resulted to some doubts among industry watchers. Although a microprocessor offering such power will allow more advanced game engines, complex graphics rendering like anti-aliasing and tessellation are normally handled by the GPU instead of the GPU. They facilitate the creation of smooth lifelike textures on the game characters used of the players.
A number of software innovations are produced in the gaming console market, which is somewhat different from other markets. Developers normally invest a lot to produce a machine that can last for a long time. The supposed 16-core microprocessor on the Xbox 720 may be suitably used in the future.
The next question in the minds of industry watchers is the effect of the sixteen-core processor on the cost of the upcoming Xbox 720. Some have hinted that it may be more practical to increase the GPU power of the game console or to increase the memory itself. However some would even be thankful if all of these components would be upgraded once the Xbox 720 enters the market.
For the moment the accuracy of the report remains uncertain. It should also be noted that the source of this particular report also revealed that the Xbox 720 will be unveiled by next year.
