    Alpha kits have hit select developers for the new Xbox.
    Code name is "Dragontooth". The system is like the early xbox and
    360 dev kits, shipping in what is basically a PC case.

    Rough specs:

    Dual quad core CPU units @ 4Ghz
    32GB of high speed ram (double the retail spec, like in all xbox dev units)

    Currently the systems are running at 38% of final
    using three amd quad core cpus. Unlike xbox 360,
    the new spec is a lower thermal profile needing
    minimal cooling.

    It uses Xbox 360 controllers (wired) but that is expected to change.

    Current studios with kits:
    Electronic Arts
    Bungie
    Epic Games

    Not true: Konami have gotten a system too, in order to create the new Xbox-only Metal Gear Solid 5: Sons of Snake.

    Heat pipes are hollow, Sabre ;). They contain a liquid that extracts heat through a capillary action.

    It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes that transport the heat

    'dragontooth' ? this can't be right - I heard it was going to be called 'hawk the slayer'.

    Ha, I think "Dragontooth" is a pretty cool name for a prototype. I actually fell for this for about 5 seconds, until I recounted. I determined that 2 quad core CPUs don't divide in 3 equally :icon_bigg
