Could Volcanic Islands based AMD with a 22nm SOI design featuring 2304 to 2560 stream processors be

Its a spy chip

Sega's blast processor mark II

As one any good at video editing.. The sticker is on show to the world here... I would have a go myself but I'm all warm in bed..

It's an xbox 360 SOC for backwards compatibility

Perhaps, by means of some ancient Redmondian magick, some of the infinite power of the Cloud is sealed within...

We will find out the truth..

I'm almost suprised they haven't slapped a Killer NIC in there anyhow for the pointless feature headlines.

My bet if I had to, is that it's an ARM SoC dedicated to low power video tasks/home screen/DRM. AMD have Trustzone already, it would be a big plus when it comes to getting content providers on board. If this is the case, we'll likely never get to know what exactly lurks in there.

My first choice bet would be there isn't anything under the GPU at all, except substrate

Xbox One 'Day one patch' Something is happening...

What is this? ...

Is this... RROD?! No wait....

Then the mighty power of VOLCANIC ISLANDS is unleashed !! Boom !!

Confirmed... There's no dGPU let alone a volcanic island..

No surprise there whatsoever. While it was lovely to even hope it might be true (who doesn't want the console to be more powerful?), we all knew the rumours were rubbish.

Most believeable thing in this thread. I know people don't claim to care much about BC, but there are still some good games to come on 360 so I think it would be a nice free bonus for people who already pre-ordered who don't want to keep 2 boxes in their bedroom/living room etc.

WTH is "Tech deep-dives"?

Anyone sensible knew it wasn't true but still intigued what is still being hidden. Roll on release of the whole spec.

I hope it isn't backwards compatibilty, the lack of it is what is making me finish all the games I haven't yet.

bemaniac · 10 Sep 2013 at 09:29

be funny if it turns out to just be a piece of metal just to raise the chip

ps3ud0 · 10 Sep 2013 at 10:00

Its got to be something as MN been hinting at something, unless he was lying?!?

ps3ud0 :cool:

why does it need another chip when it has the infinite power of the cloud!

That's what the chip is. MS have found a way to create weather, it produces little tiny clouds on demand. It's why the console is so big, it needs all the space inside to be filled with cumulonimbi
