Powered processor at IBM, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is finally revealed his secret that the helium its huge crunching speed data processing. Earlier last Tuesday, attending In-Stat Fall Processor Forum received a sneak preview of what the next generation of the Corporation in the Microsoft Xbox 360 game console.

Where in today's desktop computers, Intel and AMD are seeking a dual core processor. Regarding the Xbox 360, the interior includes a state-of-the-art THREE PowerPC cores 64 - bit processor, each operating at 3.2GHz, the highest attainable, the basic speed, said IBM chief engineer Microsoft CPU project, Jeff Brown. Troika core processor is well positioned to overcome two conversations simultaneously, and at the same time, to support sustainable high capacity required for the game console. A maximum of 21.6Gbps bandwidth is possible with the current design, especially as computing power needed for any planned high-definition graphics intensive games.


Equipped with a share (split) 1 MB L2 cache memory of the first component works on the same frequency as the CPU, and the second half of the frequency of the processor, the chip is specially manufactured Singapore, Chartered Semiconductor at, as well as IBM's own manufacturing plant in New York Yorke. The design is based on the last 90 - nanometer Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology. According to the source, the chip contained 165 million transistors, even more than some of the latest Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processor.

In the Xbox is expected to be completed by the end of 2005 to the amount of 299 dollars, with the lofty goal version likely to be the price of $ 399 dollars.

Changes in comparison with the first Xbox, nutrition using Pentium III 733MHz processors, a significant improvement. Furthermore, it is expected, not to mention the huge challenge Microsoft game console in the market, that is, Nintendo and Sony.

Watch for his release, probably in November 2005. Users will be surprised Xbox power for three 3.2GHz processor cores! What a cool product by IBM and Microsoft.
