XBOX 720 - Unleashed and Unbeatable Gaming Experience


As in prediction, Microsoft is about to release its 2nd generation gaming device, code name “Xbox 720”, probably in 2nd quarter of next year. It is said that, Xbox 720 will try to deliver an unleashed and unbeatable gaming experience with inimitable graphics as witness in 3D movies such as Transformer and Avatar. If Microsoft is able to bring such high quality in its console, then it will give a tough fight to other major players in domain.

Microsoft developers succeeded in fussing Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV) technology for high graphics games up to 4320 pixel and enhanced 3D technology to bring the 3 dimensional experiences in next generation console for games like Haunted house, Alien Hive, Crysis2 and many more upcoming games.

Probably integrated ATI-AMD’s graphic processing unit (GPU) will reinstate recent HDTVs. Yet, Microsoft had not decided the processor configuration but surely I think they will embed enhanced processor unit which has capability to use pre-installed Blu-ray technology in console. Other than this, Microsoft had also paid close attention, to rectify the issues with The Red Ring of Death (RROD).

Thou, Microsoft haven’t disclose any sort information regarding the releasing date and price.

28nm Parts, Near In future: Globalfoundries

In an interview, Tom Sonderman, vice-president of manufacturing system and technology in Globalfoundries said that, the company is planning to built an GPUs using 28nm technology, in near future.

According to X-bit Labs website, which published 4 page interview of Tom Sonderman where many topic discussed such as the Globalfoundries name, origin of company and many more other things came in light during interview, but in the end when X-Bit Labs asked a question about AMD outsourcing its chipset and graphics chips to Globalfoundries.

He said, "We intend on competing for AMD’s graphics business in the 32nm/28nm technology node," However, as X-Bit pointed out, AMD is obliged to require both microprocessors and GPUs from Globalfoundries, as AMD is one of the owners; using the term "competing" may have been inaccurate. Still, Sonderman's answer hints to the possibility that the company may be ready for 28nm processing soon.

Additionally, Sonderman said that the company is already sniffing around for additional clients outside AMD. "We are actively engaging with multiple tier 1 fabless and fablite semiconductor companies who require leading-edge capacity," he added. "We’re not ready to announce any new relationships yet."

"PC platform technologies (CPUs, GPUs), wireless, game consoles, and telecom are a few examples of markets we’re targeting," he confirmed.

Sonderman also pointed towards its 32nm technology, which is already functioning in Dresden. Thou, he did not revel any more details on 28nm processing and when company is going to carry out the new technology.

So keep your figure cross to access in whole new world of '28nm'.
