The Xbox 720 or new “Xbox” (depending on what name they choose) has began appearing as early as 2006 and has had numerous rumors ever since. And now that Microsoft has had a long time for the Xbox 360, people are growing restless for its successor. There is a complete diagram and list of the specs supposedly for the next Xbox on VGLeaks. According to them it will come with an eight-core x64 powerplant with each core clocked at 1.6GHz, 8GB of RAM, an 800MHz GPU with 12 shader cores, 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive, hard drive, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi direct.
