Next Xbox to be Six Times More Powerful?

No one is sure just what Microsoft will call the next generation Xbox, but the folks over at IGN claim to know a bit about the console’s  insides.

The website claims the console will pack a GPU based on AMD’s 6000 series of chips and will be six times as powerful as the current Xbox 360 with 20 percent greater performance than Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii U console.

IGN also claims the chip will go into production by the end of the year, with developer kits handed out shortly after.

Microsoft is expected to talk about the console at this year’s E3 in June.
