They had also posted the specs for the alpha development kits so the final specs will be different but very likely similar:
- CPU: 3 PowerPC cores each running at 3,0 GHz, 32 KB L1 instructioncache and 32 KB L1 datacache. The 3 coreas share 1 MB of L2 cache.
- GPU: ATI videoprocessor from the generation following the X800 models running at 500 MHz which support Shader Model 3.0.
- Memory: 256 MB RAM
- Optical drive: 7gb DVD-9 running at 12-speed.
- Memory units: memory cartridges with a memory varying from 64 to 1.024 MB.
- Harddisc: Noting known yet besides that game caching will probably require 2gb.
- Camera: 1.2 megapixels USB 2.0 camera.
- Sound chip: The console won't have a regular audiochip hebben. Decompression of sound will be handled by hardware but the rest of the sound will be handled by software. DirectSound 3D has been replaced by X3DAudio.
