Microsoft has managed the impressive feat of having almost no leaks at all as they prepare for tomorrow's unveiling of the Xbox 720. However, a page stumbled upon today reveals some goodies, from two separate sources.
360 Crunch writes that tomorrow's presentation will reveal an almost shockingly powerful console, with a graphics card that should have the computational capacity of 4.9 TFLOPS. By comparison, Nvidia's upcoming GTX 780 monster has "only" 3.9 TFLOPS while AMD's Radeon HD 8970 has 4.3 TFLOPS.
Perhaps it would be more relevant to compare the graphics card in the Playstation 4, which in this context has a quite modest 1.84 TFLOPS computing capacity. This would be make Xbox 720 much more powerful than the console Sony has come up with. And to top it all it is rumored to have 12 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory, as opposed to the 8 set to feature in Playstation 4.
In addition, Microsoft is said to be showcasing the sequel to Xbox Live, which is said to be called Xbox Now. Curiously, Microsoft owns the domain xboxnow.com, with the web address leading to Xbox.com, so it may very well prove to be correct.
Take this information with an unusually generous handful of salt (what would such a formidable machine cost?). Tomorrow at 18:00 we will live-stream the Microsoft Xbox 720 demonstration here on Gamereactor.co.uk, and then we'll find out exactly what we can expect from the next-gen console.
