Promotional cards for the Xbox
GameWEEK.com recieved a promotional card that Microsoft is giving to their retailers. On the card are specs of the Xbox along with PS2 and GameCube, also there are a few statements from industry developers raving about the Xbox.
GameWEEK.com has also learned even though the card has listed the Xbox’s processor speed at 733 MHz Intel Pentium III, that Microsoft is willing to bump it up to at least 1GHz chip and maybe higher. This information shouldn’t blow the mind to much, because chip speeds seem to double every other year. As with Microsoft, who still has almost a year until the Xbox launch date, doesn’t want to get caught with their pants down by having an underpowered or older processor. If you look back at when Xbox was announced at the Game Developer’s Conference this past March, its was clocked at 600MHz.
