Ik kwam via JC bij deze onderstaand plaatje van de Microsoft X-Box presentatie. Volgens deze sheet krijgt de X-Box een x86 proc met 128KB L1 cache en 64KB L1. Da's vreemd, want deze specs komen overeen met hetgeen we tot nu toe van de AMD Spitfire weten:

Opmerking van JC:
These particular specs don't describe a Pentium III. This is closer to a description of the Athlon. Intel is planning for DDR SDRAM to only enter their chipset at the high end, server area. Intel's GTL+ is at 133MHz, and their next bus (for Willamette) will jump right to 100MHz, 400MT/s. Additionally, neither the PIII nor the Willamette have 128KB L1 cache and it's not that trivial to change the size of the L1 cache in a cpu design. Additionally, the note about 64KB L2 matches the very, very original rumours regarding the Spitfire (at least as far back as December). [break] Hehe, deze is ook grappig: [/break] Here's a great idea from someone who refers to himself as "Alex Krycek": "ummm.... I was thinking. the x-box is going to be sold at less than it costs to manufacture. It might actually be worth it to buy it and gut it".
Akiba's PC Watch heeft trouwens nog een aantal mooie foto's van de X-Box gepost. Als dat ding er echt zo uit gaat zien vind ik het design alvast errug cool
