What strikes me is that this could compete with current generation game consoles, so next gen consoles might be Tegra "Wayne" (from Wikipedia) : Processor: quad- or octa-core ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore Improved 24 (for the quad-core) and 32 to 64 (for the octa-core) GPU cores with support for Directx 11+, OpenGL 4.X, OpenCL 1.X, and Physx 28 nm[23] About 10 times faster than Tegra 2 This would be low-power/low-cost game c…
Was just hopping in here to post this -- Xbox.next got named (Loop for now) and details leaked about how it is an ARM-based design with dedicated chips for each major process used in modern gaming (video, physics, audio, etc.)[1] After seeing the specs on the Tegra 3, I can't help but think that Tegra 3++ or "Tegra 4" will basically by the Xbox-next.

Re: Nvidia introduces Tegra 3 five-core CPU
#31I don't think it makes sense to build a flagship (Xbox/PS) console on ARM, since these SoCs are only barely more powerful than the 360/PS3. I would expect a flagship console to have at least the power of an AMD Trinity. Rumors about Xbox.next being cheaper (and thus probably slower) than a cost-reduced 360 also don't make much sense unless MS is going to have two product lines.
