• [RUMOR] Xbox One failtrain continues: Console will be underclocked by 200Mhz

It entirely depends on the architecture of the CPU. Some CPUs are very sensitive to clock speed relative to performance, while others aren't so much (like the Pentium 4)
[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;40914349]Uh, no. The CPU in the Xbox is a custom PIII Coppermine. It's somewhere between a regular PIII (133 MHz bus) and a Celeron (128K L2 cache.) The CPU was speced to be 733 MHz. It's impossible for it to be a 1.4 GHz part because the fastest Coppermine was only 1.13 GHz. The Tualatin was the only core on the PIII series to reach 1.4 GHz.[/QUOTE] It was 1.2Ghz, I have one running Linux and its pretty okay for a media centre.
[QUOTE=chipset;40912279]"This means that a game running 60fps on PS4 may only run at 30fps on Xbox One." Bullshit, 100-200mhz won't make that kind of a difference. This is a shitty sensationalist article spewing unconfirmed rumors and biased information. This is bad even for this section.[/QUOTE] Depending on the CPU architecture it can make a big difference. How big of a difference is unknown since we know nothing about the CPU itself. With that in mind console game developers will try and squeeze out whatever they can with what hardware they're given with, especially when it reaches the end of its lifespan. That 100-200mhz loss could potentially make a big difference between what they can and can't get away with. This is still all hypothetical since this is a rumour.
while it may be a rumor, there's a point here coming out of this "hate train": if you call these "rumors" "hate bandwagons" then there are nothing BUT hate bandwagons for the xbox one. there is not one good rumor about the system. that's got to say something about the system and the reveal itself, and what the general consensus is about it. thats it, really. unless microsoft impresses at e3, the xbox one will not be a good sell. hell, its reveal even got ea to back down with its "not making games for wii u" comments. edit: microsoft has also removed their e3 q&a panel so press cant ask questions. damage control.

Like children gamers are now believing every rumor and jumping to wild conclusions. Also would you want to do a q&a with the same media that has been writing rumors as facts from unnamed sources.
