Need an Xbox 2 flowchart?
Our Chinese colleagues from GZeasy found out something that might be a flowchart of Xbox 2 scheduled for announcement to early June.
You can click the image above for a bigger picture and study the chart. We´ll just mention that the console will feature 64-bit IBM (Power) with at least three cores, ATI graphics core manufactured by TSMC and I/O controller from SiS. The most touching is "Hard Disk ("built-in" not decided)" line and suggested 20-80GB capacity. I wonder if rumours about flash memory to be instead of HDD are true, then where is it?
