Sorry guys i have no more insider info yet. Hope he will write when it will be safe for him.

But we have some other great posts in the comment section. I'll post some here below.

In the other news i mentioned for myself:

1. Sonyboys continue talk crap and defend Sony with a lie. They fired all their guns too early with conclusions based of fake rumours and xbox next specs. They are in panic because they could not be fully sure PS4 will be better even if majour media say that. They will Now they talk PS4 will have Nvidia Titan. They will need help of a brain doctor soon
2. Insider said "they got new SDKs and it is still AMD GPU". Mistercteam discover Nvidia Titan will feature very simillar specs we now know. IT is hard to beleive it there will be Nvidia because of close repationship beetwin MS and AMD on Kryptos proejct. If there is something happened in their relationship? Interesting...
3. Talking about games. My recent games i enjoyed - Halo 4 superb gfx, x-engine insider talked from 2009 finaly used to max. Call of Duty - great anual blockbaster, i play rare so for me to have 1 or 2 shooters per year is great. Forza Horizon & Rally pack - both great for me, Tomb Raider - in progress, some XBLA Poker - my new hobby. Also i liked to have download version the same day as disc. For me it is better to pay 1/25 more and not to drive to shop.
4. Still don't know when MS will launch Surface Pro and good Windows Phone. I returned Nokia 920 because of the phone size and materials. Still wait for a great Windows Phone ala iPhone 5 case. Surface Phone seems the one i want by design. So MS is very slow here. Hope Xbox division have faster operation speeds with not standart management structure.  
5. i guess i will wait for Surface Pro 2 to have a better battery life and Windows Blue ready. Now i agree MS has a lot of work to do. But when it will be ready it will sell like hotcakes. Seems MS don't force hardwre because know software still not fully ready.

"First, we know that MS lost the timing in smartphones and tablets business. Today is hard to compete with ARM devices due to efficiency and the ecosystem of applications built on this architecture. MS is trying to support the Arm with Win RT, but it is difficult to gain traction on top of Android and iOS already has a very strong ecosystem.

The trend is these SoC Arm invade other devices, like living room.

The point is that x86 only now becoming a reality for mobiles devices, just look for the Surface Pro with an i5. The problem is the price, as will compete in value with ARMs if the demand is much lower? There's no way to take advantage of mass production to reduce the price.

And then you enter the XBOX.

You see, the jaguar is nothing more than a mobile cpu, but also the possible GPU should be a mobile version. Imagine all this in a SoC, like a Surface Pro for example.

Imagine also that the Durango is built using 2 SoC these! If they sell 50 million XBOX, will be producing 100 million SoC! With scalable hardware, future revisions could use 3 SoC and so it goes.

And what about price? Falling deeper in mass production.

Now assume that the MS create hybrid tablets with only 1 of these XBOX NEXT SoC, modded to mobile obviously, powerful to a mobile device, direct compatibility with some XBOX games (XBLA) and x86 application legacy.

More SoCs are produced and the price keeps falling.

Going further, create partnerships with TV manufacturers and ends a SoC embedding these in them makes a TV "Xbox Ready".

With future revisions, the SoC becomes increasingly smaller and more efficient, thus expanding the MS vai X86 onto the Arm and slowing the advance of Google and Apple. Finally with tablet computing power would have an X86 and a competitive price of an Arm.

You will see, the xbox will be the Trojan horse to MS rise again in business."

那个超低配的XBOXTV没可能延期吧
