Din categoria zvonuri peste zvonuri, va informez ca, desi data de lansare a viitoarei console produse de Microsoft nu a fost anuntata, se pare ca e grav compromisa din cauza unei greseli de productie, care a rezultat intr-o calitate foarte slaba a procesoarelor ce vor fi incluse in consola. Site-ul SemiAccurate a dezvaluit ca Xbox 720 va veni echipat cu procesoare AMD, renuntand la cipurile produse de IBM ce sunt utilizate in Xbox 360.
Deci, am aflat ca cipurile din urmatoarea consola a celor de la Microsoft sunt numite "Oban" si ca au adus prejudicii destul de grave companiei. E posibil ca aceasta problema sa afecteze serios noua consola, si sa ofere PlayStation-ului un avantaj nesperat? Doar timpul ne poate spune.The site's sources say that the chip, codenamed "Oban", is being manufactured in huge quantities at a variety of different manufacturing plants in the Far East, which is fairly standard practice for consumer electronics. The problem, apparently, is that most of the chips coming off the production line aren't good enough to pass testing. That means a lot of duff silicon and a greatly reduced ability to manufacture consoles.
This isn't uncommon with new chip manufacture, but the numbers are apparently dangerously bad and may mean that Microsoft won't be able to make enough new consoles to meet the expected Xbox 720 launch date of autumn 2013. There's still time to get things sorted, says the report, but not much - if the production problems aren't resolved by November, and chips don't start arriving in big numbers by February, then we might have to wait until 2014 to get the next Xbox.
