New Xbox 720 features


Recently there have been reports of several new features for the new Xbox "720", as ever these are just rumours but you should bare these in mind come 2013 or whenever Microsoft's releases their new console.

GPU 
According to multiple sources the next Xbox will have two GPU's, which will be equivalent to AMD 7000 series GPU's, along with this there will be four to six CPU cores, one of which will be dedicated to the Kinect.

New Name
The new Xbox has been dubbed "720" for quite a long time now in the media just based on the name of the current console the "360" but what will the name actually be? although nothing solid has been said about the name of the new console there have been two codenames leaked recently, one of which is "Loop" and the other "Durango"

Disc Drive
There have been conflicting reports and rumours on this issue recently, the initial belief was that the new Xbox was to start using a Blu-ray drive, which although not as fast as DVD's which Microsoft currently use can store significantly more data. The other report that has surfaced recently is that the new Xbox wont have a disc drive at all and will instead opt for a digital download only system.

Next Xbox Games In Development 
There is such a large amount of information and reports on the web that developers have got the new Xbox dev kits that although they deny it we can take it as "almost" fact, but what this does mean if indeed it is true is that the launch games for the new consoles should be of the highest quality, in an age where developers are more talented than ever I suspect games for the "720" will be better than ever.

These are just some of the most valid rumours out there of the new Xbox, you can find more but these are the most likely to be true.
