If this turns out to be true, Microsoft might have just won the console wars for this generation.

Not that far fetched.... My PC has 16GBs of ram and an 8 core CPU clocked at 4GHZ stock.
Lets hope this is true.
-
8GB of system RAM and 4GB of video RAM is not unrealistic. 4.9tflops is a little bit more than a 7970, which is almost 15 months old at this point. I don't know if these rumors are true, but I wouldn't think them impossible. I would just wonder how Microsoft could maintain those margins and survive.

Referred to as neXtBox throughout development period, KineXbox to those looking for a beating, but the official title is... "Xbox Now!"
Yes, it even has that little explanation point at the end, the Xbox Now!
Specs; 7000-series AMD, Backwards compatibility, access to featured channels and social networking dependent on membership status, as previously stated, and subscription to the "Now!" service.
At launch capable of viewing in 3D, with added option of playing disc media such as DVDs and Blu-Rays once again depending on Now! and membership period.

Like Kinect, Xbox Now! required adequate space to function properly. The design has remained largely unchanged from the previous Xbox 360 Slim version, a bit of artsy decal on the side that has "Now!" written across it.
It looks gaudy as hell, and extremely tacky, but what do I know...
The bit about the decal sounds totally bogus to me . Backwards compatibility would be nice though!
I wish the 21st would hurry!

That would be interesting if it wasn't for this:
The domain is as old as the Xbox1.
Well time for history lesson then.
If you big as M$, you can mess with 'history' of whois, and change dates.
Real History:
XboxNow.com in 2000 is register and buyer puts up screen asking for $50,000 greenbacks.
XboxNow.com launches as Xbox gaming FAN site with forums and news back in 2001
Runs for a while, until the admin gets sick with cancer, his last post is in Aug. 2005
Site stays stuck as-is for another 2 years until the already paid register/bills run out in Sept. 2008
In 2011 it is reborn as redirect to BING as M$ control search phrase
In 2013 it starts to redirect instead directly to XBOX.com

Consoles always have to be designed with the future in mind, not the present. These machines are built for 8-10 year life cycles. With the ability to mass order IT technology that MS has, and the technological regression RAM and CPU prices have seen, those specs are completely possible. The MS Powerpoint link last year did set a 8gb minimum RAM target, so it is not completely out of the realm of possibility.

That's not really "messing" with the history though, is it? That's just stating that the domain has existed before Microsoft owned it. Microsoft owns a tonne of domains like that and as you've pointed out, this one has been in their possession since at least 2011. How on earth is this "evidence" of anything? Especially evidence of anything in the post above? You haven't even included a link to any kind of source for that information. As near as I can tell, the whole "proof" revolves around that domain being owned by MS, which proves nothing.

Chill out, dude. Nobody is claiming anything as "evidence" or "proof". All that was being said is it's interesting how xboxnow.com redirects to xbox.com. Everything is just speculation and rumour at this point. No need for drama .

Besides XboxNow.com, the other site 'XboxFusion.com' has now started redirecting to the main Xbox.com site
If you study the web source code on the #xboxreveal page, you will notice that M$ is using the code letters, 'x2f' in the user tracking code, and 'x2fhub' and 'x2freveal' for the java source pages.
It could be FUSION is the name of the console, and NOW! is the name of the new Live.

One thing is for sure, they have gotten our attention!
-
SO! Are we now all in agreement that the above was utter bollocks? Yes?
-
They haven't covered the GPU yet. CPU is 8 core with 8GB of system RAM, which is what was rumored.
-
They haven't covered the GPU RAM or specs yet. There is 8GB of system RAM, which is what this news item declared.
They're still having talks right now. The main event is finished, but there are hardware guys going over the system design right now. It's live on Twitch. We will see if Eric from IBM speaks today.
-
Half a paragraph with generic details does not equate to full details.
The entire above story is not false. Produced by AMD, but that does not require IBM to not be involved in the chip's design. Was IBM involved? Perhaps not, but that does not negate the other points within the story that have been announced.

* There is now a full 12 gigabytes of high-speed RAM in the new Xbox Now! console, unlike the previous rumors of only 8gb.
* To be precise, there is 4gb GDDR5 on the GPU and 8gb GDDR5 on the 8-Core IBM custom CPU.
If you actually read the story, it claims 12GB of total memory, specifically 8GB of system memory and 4GB of GPU memory. 8GB of system memory has been confirmed, while the total GPU memory has not been announced. The SoC development process has not been outlined, and it is possible that IBM was involved. (We won't know until they release full details.) Fusion, Now, whatever. Branding is really irrelevant to me and not the big part of the story. Obviously that part of the story was incorrect.
Rumors are always hit and miss. That's to be expected.

***These details appear to have come from someone on 4chan posing as a Rare employee.***
How can you possibly stand behind anything, with that being the source?
Xbox Now! - NOPE
Eric from IBM will be a speaker on the 21st - NO
Referred to as neXtBox throughout development period - NO
KineXbox to those looking for a beating - NO NO NO NO NO
Look at all the in depth stuff on vgleaks. You'd take the word of this random troll over theirs?
No offence man, but seriously, you'd have to be out of your *&^%$£" mind to believe anything else written by that guy!
