Hey everybody, guess what? We have another new rumor about the next Xbox system to report on today!
This time Xbox World (via CVG) reports that developer kits, codenamed Durango, were sent to various development studios last month. Those devkits reportedly make use of a 16-core IBM Power PC CPU with a graphics processor equivalent to an ATI Radeon 7xxx series.
The rumor continues on to state that despite both Microsoft and Sony claiming to not show off any next-generation technology in this upcoming E3, that doesn't mean the software developers won't be showcasing their work "whether Microsoft and Sony are ready or not."
Oh boy... It's going to be an interesting couple of months.

"It's a ridiculous amount of power for a games machine - too much power, even. But remember, Kinect 2 could chew up four whole cores tracking multiple players right down to their fingertips, so it'll need a lot of power."
