Detailed Xbox 360 System SpecsThis is a featured page

CPU (processing)
Custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU - designed by IBM based on their Power

Architecture

  • Specs:
    • Three symmetrical cores, each running at 3.2 GHz
    • Two hardware threads per core for a total of six hardware threads
    • VMX-128 vector unit per core; three total
    • 1 MB L2 cache
    • Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC)-based architecture
  • Performance:
    • 9 billion dot product operations per second
    • 1 teraflop of system-level, floating-point performance

Memory

  • Specs:
    • 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM
    • 700 MHz DDR
    • Unified memory architecture
  • Bandwidth performance:
    • 22.4 GB/s memory interface bus bandwidth
    • 256 GB/s memory bandwidth to EDRAM
    • 21.6 GB/s front-side bus

GPU specs (graphics)
Custom ATI graphics processor
  • Specs:
    • 500MHz processor
    • 10 MB of embedded DRAM
    • 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines
    • Unified shader array
  • Performance:
    • Polygon performance = 500 million triangles per second
    • Pixel fill rate = 16 gigasamples per second using 4x MSAA
    • Shader performance = 48 billion shader operations per second
    • All games supported at 16:9, 720p, and 1080i, anti-aliasing
  • Notes:
    • Unified shader architecture - provides 48 parallel shaders capable of operating on data for both pixels and vertices
    • Automatically allocates shader resources to optimize address a computational limitation, vertex- or pixel-related
    • Dramatically reduces parasitic resistance and capacitance throughout the memory array, thus minimizing both random access time and power consumption
    • Can manage and maintain state information on 64 separate threads in hardware
    • Can switch between threads without any delay in order to keep the shader arrays occupied at all times
    • Also functions as the main memory controller

Audio

  • Multi-channel surround sound output
  • Supports 48KHz 16-bit audio
  • 320 independent decompression channels
  • 32-bit audio processing
  • Over 256 audio channels

Storage
  • Specs:
    • Detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive
    • Support for 2 Memory Units (MU) starting at 64 MB
  • Digital media support:
    • Support for DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 CD, JPEG Photo CD
    • Ability to stream media from portable music devices, digital cameras and Windows XP-based PCs
    • Ability to rip music to the Xbox 360 hard drive
    • Custom playlists in every game
    • Built-in Media Center Extender for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

I/O

  • Support for up to four wireless game controllers
  • Three USB 2.0 ports
  • Standard-definition and high-definition video output supported
