This is huge .....
BC/FC on X1 could be real

Means Xbox One Have another Power Derived ISA somewhere
as we dont see uit from Chipwork , it is probably Under eSRAM

No Wonder AMD Lawsuit to its former employee
listed Power Architecture for Next Gen Xbox (Last time it is called
Xbox 720)

I wouldn't read too much into this other than Microsoft might have initially focused on using Power again but ended up choosing AMD.
 
Having seen how rushed the XB1 was to "match" the PS4 for launch, I'm not surprised that they're already looking at redesigning the XB1, remember the first batch of XB360 with a +50% failure rate and then they released the Falcon chipset XB360 a couple years later? Yeah I think they're doing the same thing this time around, but I hope they use better RAM and dump that eSRAM stuff.

Meanwhile I'll probably be stuck with my 1980's BETA MAX look-alike XB1 when they release the new slimmer design, unless there will be a possible way to exchange consoles with Microsoft.
 
Ever think that to an electrical engineer that has stuff related to BOM delivery and PCBs that "Power architecture" might be the architecture of the power delivery circuitry, and not Power™ Architecture?
 
The Xbox One was long rumoured to use x86, even when it was still Durango. When you think about it, it makes a lot more sense than using POWER. Especially since it runs a modified version of the Windows 8 kernel.

POWER has been circling the drain for a long time now. It's really only used for high performance computing (think supercomputers) these days, and only then by systems made by IBM themselves. There's a reason why game companies pushed for PC based hardware. Makes everything from coding to porting a lot more streamlined. It's a big part of why the Wii U isn't getting third party releases. I think Nintendo is IBM's last big consumer facing customer.
 
If there was a PowerPC chip tucked away for BC, even Microsoft's broken X1 PR team would have gotten around to mentioning it by now.

Nope. Any "BC" will be done by libraries and porting just like original-Xbox BC on the 360, or the PS2 ports that run on current PS3.
